Ryan Switzer: Best UNC WR ever

North Carolina Tar Heels football reporter/analyst Taylor Vippolis said it best via Twitter this past weekend.

At UNC for WRs... 1st in receptions, 2nd in yards, 5th in touchdowns. That's all-time greatness. No better player, no better teammate. 3️⃣ pic.twitter.com/NAH9Uamm6R

Switzer finished the game with 13 receptions for 171 yards and a touchdown. He has just one more game as a Tar Heel, which will be UNC’s bowl game. He’s likely to clinch the all-time receiving yards record for UNC in that game.

In addition to being a great wide receiver, Switzer was terrific as a punt returner throughout his four-year career at North Carolina.

Although he may not take his talents to South Beach, his skills will be on display for football fans to see on Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays for many years to come.
