UNC Football: Position Preview - Wide Receivers

UNC lost Josh Downs and Antoine Green following the 2022 season, which left a massive hole in production for Carolina’s offense. Downs and Green accounted for roughly 65% of the Heels’ receptions last season, which means that Mack Brown will have to look for some new faces to step up in 2023.

“We need six quality guys at receiver,” Brown said. “We’ve got that, but they need to play good. And they’ve got to play every snap.”

The good news is that Brown indeed has a wide receiver group that should be more than capable of helping out Drake Maye this season.
