As I said yesterday, only one game on tap in the National Football League for today, fortunately for the fans of North Carolina football the match up does have a touch of carolina blue in it. Even better, both of the teams in this one have a player, or more, that used to call Kenan Stadium home during their college careers. Using the list on the UNC Pros web site and the team rosters from OurLads, as well as adding a bit of information on my own, here are all the players that once called Chapel Hill home that their NFL teams will be playing today…
Lucas Oil Stadium ~ 1:30 p.m. EST ~ NFL Network
For the St. Louis Rams…
CB Kendric Burney #42 (5’9″/190 lbs) 1 Year Exp
DE Robert Quinn #94 (6’4″/265 lbs) 2 Years Exp
For the Indianapolis Colts…
FS Matt Merletti #27 (5’11″/205 lbs) Rookie
Check out isportsweb’s post about the game.

Just like today, tomorrow will have just one game, which will be televised by the world leader in sports, that will feature once again a player that comes from the North Carolina football program. I will be following all the former UNC players for the whole preseason as well as the regular season and the post season with this type of post as well as writing about individual players if the need comes up. For all information when it comes to the Carolina football and/or basketball (present and past) make sure to check back on isportsweb!
