UNC fans finally got a chance to see where wide receiver Josh Downs would call his next home with the shifty wide receiver being drafted to the Indianapolis Colts with the 79th pick.
Downs became the 12th wide receiver off the board, and it caused quite a reaction with the Tar Heel now being a target for 4th overall pick Anthony Richardson. A unique team with a quality mix of young and veteran talent makes the designation an ideal landing spot for Downs.
Downs had a monstrous career at UNC, becoming one of the nation’s best wide receivers. He finished his Tar Heel career with 2483 reviving yards, including back-to-back 1k+ receiving yards. Last season he displayed his ability to find the end zone, finishing 7th in the NCAA for receiving touchdowns (11)
After that pick was announced, fans flocked to social media to give their opinion on Downs’s new team and the impact he could bring.
