Its hard not to pick Mahelona. The guy was a constant backfield disrupter. Its a shame he died so young.

Mahelona is a close 2nd for me. Tom Fisher was a great linebacker whose life was cut short.. second on record list for unassisted tackles in one season with 118

Are you yunguns serious? Art Reynolds was absolute beast, and a true legend at UT. Jesse was a big time player too.

The Q was "favorite", so it's totally subjective, but I would have to say Reynolds or JM were the best.

Saw Ron Green on the NC game replay the other day. Watching that games player attrition reminded me how much depth is needed to win it all. FSU had it too.

I think Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds was the legend (# 64). Art (his little brother) was a decent player but Jack was the legend..

True, but Mike Lucci is the only one to wear 55 and appear in the NFL Pro Bowl and play himself in a Hollywood film, "Paper Lion".

He also played next to Paul Naumoff, another great Vol, for six of his 12 NFL years

He is my answer. Plus he was a Titan for a short amount of time.

I think Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds was the legend (# 64). Art (his little brother) was a decent player but Jack was the legend..

First time I have ever heard about Hacksaw Reynolds' brother playing at UT.

I went with Lucci...Mostly because there wasn't a Sporting News when he played and that's who gave JM his All-American
