UNC's MJ Stewart on the NFL draft: 'I'm going to fit in wherever a team needs me' | News & Observer

The next two days of the NFL draft could get interesting for players from UNC.

The Tar Heels have three who could be selected. Here's a look at when in the draft they could go.

M.J. Stewart, cornerback

M.J. Stewart, who played four years at cornerback for the Tar Heels, is projected by some to go as high as the second round. Stewart finished his career at UNC as the school's all-time leader in pass breakups, but NFL scouts were high on Stewart's physicality and tackling ability. He was an honorable mention All-ACC player last season with 45 tackles, five for loss, two sacks and 12 pass breakups.
