NFL reacts to North Carolina's championship

Public opinion on football Twitter was unanimous on how North Carolina's NCAA men's basketball championship victory over Gonzaga was refereed. (Poorly. It was refereed poorly.)

But NFL players -- especially those who graduated from UNC or currently play in the state of North Carolina -- also took to social media to congratulate the champion Tar Heels on their redemptive win.

Before the exciting, dramatic finish, viewers and players alike had some ... thoughts ... on the refereeing, the number of fouls and the pace of the game.
