UNC Position Previews: Offensive Line

A lot of things went wrong for UNC Football in the 2021 season, but you could pretty easily argue that chief among them was the offensive line. They returned all five starters from possibly UNC’s greatest offensive season ever, and while it was clear that the primary reasons for that success were Sam Howell and 4 NFL Draft picks at the skill positions, the offensive line along for that ride couldn’t have been worse than average. With another year to build cohesion and chemistry under their belts, they were probably the ACC’s longest-standing offensive line fivesome and should have been one of the conference’s better units, helping protect Howell as he figured out how to make his magic work with new surrounding cast members.
