14. Ty Chandler RB, North Carolina (from Tennessee): “Experienced running back with the speed to get to the outside in North Carolina’s wide-open offensive attack that just sent two RBs to the NFL. Chandler is the latest UNC RB to go against the Miami defense who allowed 554 rushing yards to the Tar Heels in 2020.
