The Forty Club: UNC Football Great Greg Ellis
Carolina fans remember Greg Ellis as an anchor of Mack Brown's best defenses in Chapel Hill in the mid-to-late nineties. Ellis went on to a 12-year All-Pro career in the NFL, and has been even busier since he hung up the cleats. Last month, the National Football Foundation announced that Ellis was on the ballot for the 2026 College Football Hall of Fame. He joined Joey Powell to talk ball, being successful in the League, molding young minds, and how he's helping combat the social stigma around mental health issues.
