This summer, Tar Heel Blog will profile the top 25 players in the history of the North Carolina football program. The rankings were determined by votes from readers and staff.
The North Carolina Tar Heel football teams of the late 1940’s are mostly known for one man: Charlie Justice. In some respects, that’s fair enough. “Choo-Choo” is in the discussion for the greatest UNC football player of all time.
He’s far from the only legendary Tar Heel to play in that era, though. At the same time Justice was writing his legend, Art Weiner was also putting his name in the Carolina history books.
