Nazair Jones likely to forego senior season?

Rumors have circulated that Tar Heels junior defensive end Nazair Jones will forgo his senior season. Some NFL analysts project Jones as a lock to be selected in the 2017 NFL Draft.

On Twitter, Jones did not acknowledge whether he decided to go pro or not at the moment.

Fans chimed in on the topic as well.

The jury is out on this story. However, regardless of what he chooses, Nazair Jones has had a solid three years at UNC. He is already one of the best defensive ends to ever play at UNC. One more year would simply add onto his legacy.
