This isn't the first dumb thing Tyler's done. He's nowhere near Garcia level of stupidity though.
I'm pretty sure he is up to 220 lbs.

That isn't huge, but it certainly isn't a bean pole.

When you're 6' 6" it looks it.

He was a bean pole his freshman and sophomore years. People see that then see he missed games due to injury and assume he's injury prone. It's lazy journalism.

absolutely not

I am mad at Tyler Bray for putting our program in jeopardy.
Shows lack of respect for the University of Tennessee, his team mates, and fans.
Not to mention the people that had damage done to their cars.
If a person is 18-20 years old and does not know the difference between right and wrong, then maybe that person is retarded.

He is a heavy bean pole. Bray has a very lean frame. Even at 220, he looks skinny. His shoulders neck and head have thickened though. Slow process on working its way down I guess lol

Bray has done a ridiculous amount of work in the community with kids. He's gone above and beyond what's expected of most college students.

Acting like a dumbass is nothing new for a 20 year old athlete at the University of Tennessee.
I don't disagree with this at all. But no one should be surprised at the media reaction. When you put yourself and the coach puts you out there as the more mature team leader and then you do this it should be expected. In essence by putting a player out as the more mature leader you're in a manner of speaking inviting the media to watch that player even closer. It's not the end of the world and if he keeps his nose clean and plays well we won't hear about this again until the NFL draft.

I frankly don't care what the media says. Just go out and win and forget about all of the small stuff.

Get a grip. He didn't put anyone in jeopardy aside from himself and even that's questionable.

At what point is a 20 year old a kid. I thought 18 years old you could vote and join the military. Bray needs no special treatment and needs to quit screwing around. Come on. College kid my a__.

If you can't legally drink, then you aren't really an adult.

I agree, I'm talking more of the fans grabbing pitchforks wanting Bray suspended or kicked off.

Who gives a rat's ass what someone, other than this staff or opposing teams, say about Bray?

The guy is a legit NFL QB that is carrying Dooley's future on his right arm.
