Just from UT? Dale Carter. Demetrin Veal. Jesse Mahelona. Gibril Wilson. Julian Battle. Mondre Dickerson. Albert Toeiana. Chris Mims. There are a bunch more. Kenny Oneal is a bit overused on this board. IMO.

Larry Binion, the punter from Arizona Western, who messed up the punt in the U.C.L.A. game and we ended up losing the game. I bet that was a long plane flight back to Knoxville that night.

Made the team with Phoenix Cardinals ( at that time, I was living in Phoenix and they were called the Phoenix Cardinals) but could not learn play book, so after one season he was cut. He then ended up in Saints training camp and was cut because he could not learn play book

Didn't realize Aaron Rodgers played Juco. I just read a little about it and he has a pretty cool story. He didn't go to Juco because of grades, he went because nobody would give him a scolly to play football.

That's not supposed to be an issue for CP. I've heard that he is a very "football smart" man...I hope Chavis is a prophet!

And Nevin McKenzie wasn't bad; was underutilized, I'd say.
