Inside Carolina football analyst Jason Staples joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the second day of media availability for North Carolina football practice. Staples and Ashley highlight the quarterback room's potential, with Billy Edwards, Jr. appearing to be currently atop the depth chart, though accuracy issues are a concern for the room so far in camp.

On the defensive side of the ball, Staples notes the early starters with Tre Miller and Peyton Waters getting first team reps as field corner and boundary safety, respectively.  The emphasis and the importance of speed and athleticism, particularly in the secondary, is highlighted by the players and combinations on the field for the early reps.
