Alot of Vol receivers have had great seasons but none had a better year than Peerless in 1998. Huge plays all year long.
One my top 5 all-time favorite Vols! Stalked his Twitter some. Looks like Peerless is a dedicated family man, girls BB coach, and husband, who handled his vast wealth well. Most importantly of course, still a huge VFL!
Besides having a unique #37 WR number (the same as my childhood fav Conrad Graham), he has three of my favorite/memorable plays all time:
#3 Of course, the long TD (and huge game) in the natty vs FSU. The ONLY 3rd down (3rd&10 btw) converted by UT against that ridiculous FSU defense all night.
#2 The 100 yd kick return vs Bama. Being there with a Bama friend who got us tix topped it off. Alexander ran that long TD on us right before and mo had shifted thier way big. Neyland got a little nervous. Then Price takes it all the way to the house! But, wait. Flags on the play. :-( The whole place (we were in 'X' iirc) went flat and my friend stood up and started cheering the flag and laughing at me. Then it was called on Bammer and the place went nuts. We routed em' to finish the game.
#1 The long WR screen TD vs Vandy 98'. Most may not remember this. And it is not as epic in importance. But, Peerless took a WR screen (I think) from Martin, broke tackle, turned up field with about a 10yd cushion for the safety coming up to tackle. Peerless, instead of making a move on him, pointed behind him as if he was setting up a blocker. Nobody was back there. When the DB took a glance to make sure, Price instantly cut it inside on him and took it about 60 yards to the house untouched. Mind blown.
Great memories.

Not in professional sports. Watch any NBA game, most players look like a walking advertisement for the show Inked
I get what youre saying. I have a tattoo on my arm to remind me how precious life is and how important what you do and say influences people and how much I love God....
I got because I had a gun pointed to my face from about 3 feet away and the random man pulled the trigger and........
The gun jammed.... Jesus music started playing in the background in a car with the car was off... and the keys out of the car... crazy stuff.
But Im sure some have tattoos for different reasons.. and Im also sure youre right it is a trend for sure.
