Josh Malone laughed before answering when asked to assess the most impressive skill Jarrett Guarantano has showed so far in preseason camp.
Malone, a junior wide receiver, knew the answer. Anyone who has watched Tennessee so far in preseason camp knows the answer.
His arm, Malone said.
You dont catch passes from Guarantano. You survive them.
The highly touted freshman quarterback from New Jersey has a mean fastball.
I mean, the kids got a cannon, Malone said. Like, we always get on him, because every one of his balls are bullets. Its like hes trying to drill the ball through you.
Senior linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said he and junior running back Alvin Kamara two of the Vols four captains enjoy messing with Guarantano, but he said they do it for a reason. Theyre trying to toughen him up like leather.
I like Jarrett, Reeves-Maybin said. Me and Alvin mess with him all the time, just cause hes the quarterback and hes gonna have to have a lot of confidence when its his time to take the team. But I think hes performing well. Hes still learning a lot. Its a lot for a freshman, playing quarterback, but I think hes progressing well.
Hell be a great player here.
