I know that some don't but never count out any Vol that makes it! There are many players that are taken in the first and second rounds who don't even perform well at that level and free agents that you forget about because they didn't go in the draft that make it big as a free agent. If it's a Vol, I'm behind them no matter what happens.

Give a VOL a level playing field is all I ask for...the cream will come to the top.  |
