What’s a two-way contract?

More $$$$$$$.

The nice thing is Jennings is likely working on his 40 right now. He shows up and runs 4.5s or faster...he'll easily get drafted, I'm not sure I buy he goes in the 1st UNLESS he has a fantastic combine (which I expect he gets invited to if he's being projected in the 1st round).

I think at least 4 Vols get drafted. Be nice if more went, but I think between Jennings, Callaway, Warrior, Taylor, Bituli, & DWA we'll see 4 drafted.

Depending on combine/pro day results who knows what order. I feel like production wise Jennings, Warrior, Bituli would be the first 3 taken, but with DWA's size/speed and position he could be a very sought after pick. Then Taylor being an edge rusher with his size, if he runs fast he'll climb on most boards.

Callaway I think might need to really impress to hear his name though. Just never had great production unfortunately, but hopefully teams trust the tape on him and realize he didn't have Burrow slinging him the rock either....

there is hotter.

Cindy Crawford, Kathy Ireland, etc.

Cindy Crawford is overrated. I never seen the attraction and I was a teenager when she was at her highest. I just didn't see it

favorite movie out of the franchise has to be Prometheus.

that's a hot take I agree with but the first one was scary af.

 

[Weezer]

Wonder if any more names for this class pop up after the dead period ends? Seems odd to me that Hardy, Beckwith, and Wideman would be the only ones left on our board with the unsigned players that are still out there.

whilie i think Warrior did himeslef a lot of favors the 2nd half of the season.....that's kind of hte problem...it's one half of one season's worth of production.

 

[HankHill]

I love jajuan but you don’t see many slot WRs going in the first. I think he would have to run an extremely good time to get there.

Eh we as UT fans are (as normal) overly critical of Warrior.

What I expect most NFL scouts see in Warrior is a 3 year starter that amassed 229 tackles and 5 ints (even returning 1 for a TD), he's got great size, was groomed by 2 of the most impressive secondary coaches in college football and then likely runs pretty fast.

Delpit played 40 games to Warrior's 41 (although Warrior's first 5 weren't as a starter), and amassed 199 tackles with 8 ints

I'm by no means saying Warrior goes early, but he'll get drafted I believe.

If he runs in the 4.5's i think it's possible but if he runs a 4.6+ in the 40 you're probably right

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

Taylor (2-4), Jennings (3-5), Bituli (3-5), Warrior (5-6), Calloway (6-7).

Warrior is pick worthy as a run stopper, I've never questioned his hitting or tackling ever but his coverage and the angles he takes to try to run down receivers at times I feel have been suspect

 

[Glitch]

he no likey no more.

 

[Glitch]

Just for fieldwork around there. Didn’t spend much time in the town.

"Fieldwork". I read ya.

 

[BucVol98]

Whoever said Calloway would go first is crazy.

Watch: Latest PFF Mock Draft has Jauan Jennings going to Packers in 1st round

NFL scouts tend to like measurables though and I'm afraid Jauan is not going to impress with his 40, Calloway on the other hand will probably run in the high 4.4's he looked noticeably faster this year but thanks to JG and the QB carousel that was UT football, neither he nor Jauan put up the stats they should have

 

[Glitch]

Jim Gaffagin did a bit along these lines about hot pockets.....

"Directions....Open Wrapper......throw in toilet...flush...MMMM....hoooot pockets (singing)"

Yeah. I write for Gaffigan from time to time.

Those things go hand in hand though. If you're close to the LOS to support the run, you're going to find yourself outta position in coverage with poor angles of pursuit.

He could for sure become a Nickel guy in the NFL, dude isn't small and is stout. He just needs to clock fast, which he should being coming outta HS he was 4.4-4.5s type guy. Plenty good enough.

Also in verifying Warrior's HS 40 times I found JG's Elite 11 profile information....ran a 4.65 and had a 37.5" vertical. The overall one liner was "great talent that's undeveloped" walks into a Butch program with no QB coach his first 3 seasons...smh

The Athletic did their final college football rankings for the 19-20 season. At one point, we were as low as #104. We ended up at #33. That's a helluva turnaround.

Whether JG runs that or not he literally is the least agile runner I think I have ever seen, Peyton changed direction faster than JG, and I can see your point on Warrior, I wasn't trying to rag just stating what I think about him from what I've seen, I also think he will get picked sometime in Rounds 4-7
