Eric Gordon

2009 CB gets his first offer from Tennessee last week. 5'10'' 170 from Hillsboro in Nashville. Been getting interest from Alabama, Florida, Texas, and West Virginia among others. Anybody know anything about this kid?

he's only a junior so he still has time to grow, especially in the weight departement. Rivals has him listed as an athlete and he plays for one of the top programs in Tennessee. I would love to get this guy.

actually 5'10" for a DB is not that bad.

Brent Vinson. 5'10 is pretty much your prototypical CB nowadays.

I read an article on him and he comes across as VERY cocky to me. I think we could do better.

Reading the article, I think saying he is very cocky is a bit of a stretch. The kid is still 16 or 17 and seems to just be saying that he is going look at all of his options. Unless he were a die hard UT fan growing up, which would be nice but doesn't sound like the case, why would he not enjoy the recruiting process?

Take a look at last year's Pro-Bowl roster. How many corners do you see over 6 feet tall?

He would be a great addition to the Vols. He would definately get looks at KO returner and eventually punt returner. I bet he will become a good DB as well.
