Michael Carter looked around at North Carolina's pro day and the Tar Heels running back was proud not only of where the program has come from since he arrived in Chapel Hill, but where he's sure its headed.

The opportunity to see Carter, fellow running back Javonte Williams, wide receivers Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome and linebacker Chazz Surratt go through drills brought 31 of the NFL's 32 teams to the workouts. Retired Pro Bowl wide receiver Steve Smith, who was in town for a few days, also came out.

"I think it just means a lot to have the NFL Network out here," Carter said after completing his workout. "And especially Steve Smith, just because it kind of shows the trajectory of the program."
