CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Former George Washington high school standout and North Carolina All-American Ryan Switzer joined the MetroNews “Statewide Sportsline” this week, looking at the NFL Draft.
“I’m just trying to keep a level head and realize that it’s just the beginning, instead of the end of a journey,” Switzer said. “It’s just now starting for me.
“I started on a five-week pre-draft offseason plan that I’ve been following,” he continued. “That went along with visits that I made with teams, as well as individual, private workouts. I’ve been doing that, staying busy and getting into football shape – I’ve been making sure I’m ready for rookie mini-camp.”
Switzer, a two-time Kennedy Award winner, went on to become a two-time All-America return man with North Carolina. He owns the ACC record with seven career punt return touchdowns.
Switzer also set UNC records for career receptions (244), career receiving yards (2,907), career punt return yards (1,082), career punt return touchdowns (7) and single-season receptions (96 in 2016).
