The UNC Tar Heels’s offense in 2020 was possibly the best in program history, headlined by the first pair of 1,000-yard receivers ever in Chapel Hill to go with two of the most talented running backs to ever wear Tar Heel Blue. All four of those players were drafted into the NFL the following offseason, leaving observers to ask the obvious question: how could the Heels replace all that production leaving at once? Enter Josh Downs. While the Tar Heel running game has been up and down the past two seasons, Downs has been the focal point of a UNC passing attack that has remained among the nation’s best, and after putting his name in the school’s record books, he’s headed for the 2023 NFL Draft.
