UNC Football in NFL: Javonte Williams among top rookies through two weeks

A former UNC Football standout is making a good early impression in the NFL just two weeks into his career.

Vic Fangio has the Denver Broncos at 2-0 on the year despite not fully getting the most out of his offense this season. The 2-0 start is good enough to have the Broncos tied atop the AFC West with Las Vegas and a one game lead on both Kansas City and Los Angeles. But while the offense hasn’t hit full speed just yet, one former UNC standout is making headlines.

Running back Javonte Williams is the highest-rated offensive rookie through two weeks per Pro Football Focus, earning a grade of 77.
