The same thing can be said for the rest of these players as well. They weren't drafted by any of 32 teams for a reason. Who was the last UT free agent signee to stick with an NFL team and actually see significant playing time?

I think anyone that makes it to the NFL has the potential to do big things. 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.

...GO VOLS. This helps Tennessee across the board, so the more the merrier. Give a VOL a level playing field is all I ask for...the cream will come to the top.

No, she likes all semi-successful Kentucky sports. So yeah, you're right... basketball.
