Who was the last home grown Tennessean football hero.

[cmelton7]

I like Nick Reveiz, but who do you guys think is the last Tennessee born and raised home grown icon in football? You can even list a b-ball player if you want. (Chism, Bradshaw, J. Smith, Prince come to mind, but football is intriguing).

I will call a draw! Because i was going back and forth between Reggie and Doug Atkins.

The best in the history of Tennessee football and my hometown boy "Reggie White". My mom knew him and saw him grow up at Howard elementary and Howard High School where she was the secretary there for many years. He and Charles Morgan went to the Vols and yes we all know the story of Morgan after the Alabama game.

Reggie Cobb was a beast! I played against witten in high school. We beat them by a td the first game of the season and they never lost another game that year. I guess we woke the sleeping giant.
