If he were my son, I would have told him to forego last season and get ready for the combine. Multiple millions in the NFL vs. ????? when you're too injured to play a very demanding position thus relegating you to your second career option.

Looks like a strong running game ahead to me. If CJH gets a big time running back out of the portal, then you know what he's thinking

Unfortunately for some notable athletes (very few perhaps), this type of psychology (attitude with behavior) starts in middle school when athletes begin to feel that they are "special" and as such above the rules governing the majority.

Thanks for the thread OP. There are a lot more like you than you (and apparently others) realize. One day soon, Neyland will have some empty seats for nearly all games. Why? Because the price required to purchase tickets to pay for all things athletic will be so high, the seats will be priced...

Do much critical thinking son?

How long before a jersey looks like a NASCAR?

This is all "boob-bait-for-the-bubbas". Stop letting them jerk your chain.

Coaching is going to have to REALLY step up to building chemistry in this era of NIL/Portal. It seems that both are kryptonite to team chemistry.
