Through six games, I don’t think it’s really debatable that Cedric Gray has been UNC’s best player on defense. Kaimon Rucker has been pretty good and Gray’s linebacking partner Power Echols has played pretty hard, but Gray has been all over the field, making a mediocre run defense look a little better than that, leading the team in interceptions with 2, and overall being one of the country’s top tacklers just in pure numbers. And in a game against Miami where his team needed it, Gray put in another vintage performance, making plays all over the field and making more than a couple of huge plays to help his team win the game.
