Joe Schad of ESPN is reporting that UNC junior defensive end Donte Paige-Moss, who hurt his ACL in the bowl loss to Missouri, is going to enter the 2012 NFL Draft. After bad mouthing his coaches and Carolina fans, he might as well.
After the bowl game, Paige-Moss Tweeted, “Worst xmas eva cant wait till.this horrible bowl in this horrible city wit sum of da mos horrible coaches r ova Sum.of.yall mofos jus haten cuz yall.gotta pay.fo.skool unc. Fans r.the.worse.we.win its all.good. Have a bad game we suck thats.a.reason #imout #nosupport”
I guess that’s not really illiterate since it’s Twitter. But he also has a misdemeanor assault on his record and wasn’t even a starter this season. Also, back in 2009, Butch Davis kept him out of the Meineke Car Care Bowl after a skirmish after a game at N.C. State.
After starting 12 games during the 2010 season, he lost his position to sophomore Kareem Martin and finished the 2011 season with just 29 tackles and two sacks.
Still, the NFL scouts remember his 77 tackles and seven sacks from his sophomore year and tend to take chances on guys of his size and potential.
