RE: people who think Barnett won't test well at the combine

Do you even Tennessee football, bro?


He might not be "elite" but he will be top end.

I think his combine numbers will be good too.

I'm not terribly concerned about what his numbers will be, but NFL teams will be.

Top 10 picks will typically have elite numbers.

Guys like Solomon Thomas, Taco Charelton, Myles Garrett could put up some elite numbers.

It will all come down to what/who teams fall in love with.

 

[LynxVol]

I won't be surprised if Barnett does not post elite combine numbers. Watching his film should make up for that. If he falls below the 15th spot in the 1st round, someone is getting a steal, IMO.

Don't they do an interview portion at the combine too? If so, I can't see where it's gonna hurt to be able to mention along the way that you broke Reggie White's sack record while at UT.

That's how I see it playing out.

Teams like Baltimore, Tampa, Miami will get a steal in Barnett.

I would love to be wrong and see him go top 10.

We just need you to call this one for Ole Miss so we can complete the comeback.

Dust10: "Answer: Yes and the Vols will come from behind for the win."

(opens envelope)

Dust10: "Question: Will Catbone give up prematurely."

 

[Volator]

That is probably one of the most back-handed compliments I have ever seen.

its bamainbama 256... why expect anything else???

 

[Glitch]

Good win last night over Ole Miss... makes it even harder to understand how we blew it in Starkville... that was awful.

That's the way to balance out that positive with good salt-in-the-wound negative. You never disappoint.

Garrett will kill it at the combine. But his film is pedestrian against any team with a pulse. I'll take Barnett

Can we talk about how exciting it is to have more than a player or two to watch at the combine? Barnett, kamara, Dobbs, and Sutton are all going to be in a position to get drafted. It's pretty awesome.

Yes! Any chance Croom and Vereen get a combine invite?

 

[bignewt]

I could see Croom get one after his MVP performance.

Same. I was hoping Vereen would have a better senior year than he did. It was solid but I don't know if it was enough for him to get recognition.

 

[RockyTopInBham]

Yes! Any chance Croom and Vereen get a combine invite?

Pretty sure they already sent out Combine Invites. Vols have 6 reps: Dobbs, Kamara, Malone, Barnett, JRM, & Sutton. Although maybe they have a second round of invites at some point.

 

[Coach Punk]

Is it just me or is 247 starting to lag? Is it just me? Or are they kinda slacking lately?

 

[jspvol76]

Is it just me or is 247 starting to lag? Is it just me? Or are they kinda slacking lately?

I agree. NO. I said I agree, geez!

Its been doing this thing where the page loads improperly so cant discern anything on there, wait 10 minutes, refresh, and then its alright. It probably from all the crap they've layered over the site that they should have removed

Confused, for sure.

Bingo. See groundhogs like that all the time.

People don't get out enough.

Naw man global warming, oil pipelines, aliens!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I would love to be wrong and see DB and him go top 10.

I would actually start watching the NFL again if T-Bay were to get DB and Cam both. They would fit in great there.

Thigpen to DC? Perhaps our new db coach knew this as well.
