UNC Football: Mitch Trubisky declares for the 2017 NFL Draft

In a move that everyone expected but didn’t want to admit, Tar Heels quarterback Mitch Trubisky has declared his intention to enter the 2017 NFL Draft. After just one season as the team’s leading man, Trubisky was rated highly on every draft board, prospect list, and breakdown. He showed just enough skill, composure, and potential to give pro football teams a glimpse at what he could offer them.

For much of the 2016 football season, Trubisky was considered to be the best quarterback in the nation. For a time, he even entered the Heisman Trophy conversation.
