As quickly as week three of the National Football League pre season came it ends today with a pair of games, of which one features a former North Carolina Football player in it. Fortunately for the fans that follow former UNC players at the next level this game will be televised by NBC, with the kickoff being at 8 o’clock tonight. 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…
Metlife Stadium ~ 8:00 p.m. EST ~ NBC
For the New York Jets…
DE Quinton Coples #98 (6’6″/285 lbs) ~ 22 Years old ~ Rookie
Roster Position: 2nd on the Depth Chart @ LDE
[To listen to the game: Sirius XM Radio: 92 & 88]
