Just got season tickets for this year. Fired up! Couldn't think of a better year to make the trip across state. Florida done. Bama toast. GBO

Anybody have hotel recommendations with shuttle service at a reasonable price?

Compare Barnett's athleticism to other DE's. Compare Sutton's athleticism to other CB's. Guess what, Barnett is just as athletic "for his position" as Sutton is "for his position" yet you say differently? They are both plenty athletic enough to be good but have other characteristics that make them great.

Not even close.

Sutton has adequate size at 5'11" 185 lbs. He's fast. Will probably run 4.4 in the 40.

Barnett is undersized at 6'3" 260 and will probably run a slow 40 at the combine in the 4.8 range.

That's funny, the forty didn't seem to hinder Malik Jackson.

The 10yrd time, get off and motor is what makes a great defensive lineman. 4.8 for a ssde is not to bad.

DB is the best de prospect in the sec because he's more than a sack specialist.

Barnett has an unlimited motor. Blows my mind how many tackles he made down the field. You think a safety is going to make a tackle and instead it's Barnett, 20 yards down the field. Did it at least twice in the Ga game

Blows my mind how many sacks he missed on Mayfield. He'll be a top 5 pick though.

Dobbs 4 Heisman said:
Barnett = generational player at UT

He's gonna finish top 2 all-time in sacks in school history in just 3 season.

However, his upside to the NFL is limited. That's all I've ever said. I think Derek will have a NFL career similar to former UGA DE Charles Johnson who has played for the Panthers the last 9 years.

He'll have a couple of 10+ sack seasons. Maybe make a pro bowl. But he won't be a superstar at the next level or a perenial pro bowler.


Our perennial pro bowlers will be Sutton, Hurd, and Dobbs.

We will see what the NFL experts say.

Yeah I really think if the fact that we didn't have anybody drafted the last couple of years is keeping you from coming to Tennessee, then you never really had any interest in going to TN in the first place. Doesn't take a lot of thought to understand that things have been changing around here the last few years and that fun tidbit opposing coaches like to use won't stand a year from now.

We could potentially have 4-6 players drafted in the first round of next year's draft!

Highly doubtful. More than likely we will have 2 first rounders. Barnett and Sutton. I think Hurd goes in the late second. JRM either second or third. Dobbs (if he wants to), will likely go in the 3rd or 4th.

I could be wrong but for all of these guys to be first rounders, all will have to have monster seasons.

I think it depends on how this season goes. If we somehow find ourselves in the playoffs and all these guys get the spotlight to showcase their talents, you never know. Some of our players could take the next step this season. I don't know if we've even seen Dobbs, Hurd, Sutton, Barnett, JRM and Kamara play to their full potential. They're all still developing as complete college football players in a lot of ways.

It's so cool that we have such a strong and experienced core of leaders all back for another year.

We'll have 4 first rounders. Hurd, Sutton, Dobbs, and Barnett.

Hurd is the most gifted player on this team. He's a lock first rounder. Same with Sutton.

I got Dobbs exploding in 2016. 4000 total yards and 40 TDs. Heisman finalist at the very least. He'll go high in the first round.

I think Barnett sneaks in at the end of the first round in the 20s.

SIAP an interesting fact, viewership for last years national championship game was down double digits. Now which team do you feel provided more fans to watch. This could be an indictment on just how little people know or care about Clemson football!
