## Resource

The Tar Heels are on a mission to bounce back in 2026, aiming to double their wins and rebuild their NFL draft reputation after a rough debut under Bill Belichick. Wide receiver Jordan Shipp, the team’s top offensive weapon, could be a Day Two pick if QB play improves. Defensive standout Kaleb Cost, with his speed and tackling, remains a top-tier draft prospect. And edge rusher Melkart Abou-Jaoude, already a dominant pass rusher in the ACC, could hear his name called early in the next draft. These three stars could turn Carolina’s fortunes around—and their performances this season could define their NFL futures. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
