Josh Dobbs
Tyler Bray
Johnathan Johnson
Jauan Jennings
Eli Wolf
Ethan Wolf
Daniel Helm
Daniel Bituli
Kahlil McKenzie
Nigel Warrior
Jason Croom
John Kelly
Josh Malone
Daniel McCullers

I know there have been other threads about individual players, just wanted a thread for all of them. Some of these guys, I wish they had another year of eligibility. I'd take them back in a heartbeat.

Didn’t know ESPN had so many on that show.

Other than Kamara and Barnett, how many Vols are still in the NFL that played for the Vols in the Butch and Pruitt eras? Question is to anyone that knows the answer.

Dang that's a ton of guys.
The whole no preseason and shortened camps is making it hard for these "rough diamonds" to make it into squads this year.

Great and disappointing information. Thanks.
It might be interesting to see this list re-worked from the most to least surprising, in your opinions.

I don't consider myself much of an authority but Warrior, Bituli and Jennings would be in my top five.

I know it’s news and out there and all, but why feel the need to do this? We all know they were cut, and I’m pretty sure this is the worst day of some of their lives. No need to do this.

Warrior, Bituli, Mckenzie, and Jennings will all make the practice team I think. I think Dobbs will catch on somewhere. We'll see on the rest of them, but yeah it was pretty rough this year for the former Vols.

Looks like we have about 20 in the league right now:

AFC:
New England Patriots - Jakob Johnson
New York Jets - Kyle Phillips
Denver Broncos - AJ Johnson
Houston Texans - Zach Fulton
Las Vegas Raiders - Jason Witten, Kindal Vickers
Pittsburgh Steelers - Cam Sutton

NFC:
Philadelphia Eagles - Derek Barnett, Malik Jackson
San Francisco 49ers - Emmanuel Moseley (and Jalen Hurd, injured reserve)
Seattle Seahawks - Darrell Taylor (injured)
Chicago Bears - Cordarrelle Patterson
Detroit Lions - Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Justin Coleman
Minnesota Vikings - Britton Colquitt
Atlanta Falcons - Luke Stocker
New Orleans Saints - Alvin Kamara, Marquez Callaway, Shy Tuttle


Dustin Colquitt - not listed, guess the Steelers tryout didn't pan out
Preston Williams - wasn't really a Vol, but playing for Miami Dolphins

Besides Jennings and Dobbs.......who really expected any of them to do anything in the NFL? Some were even questionable while in Knoxville. Bray held on a long time.......

Bituli and Warrior I thought would make it, esp D.B., But unlike RB's NFL careers can be several years for DB's and LB's and only so many spots.

What in the world is Tyler Bray going to do now? 😆

Kid had a heck of a run in the NFL though

He may sign somewhere as a 3rd stringer.

I heard Dobbs may be re-signed by the Jags and this might have been a cut and sign financial move.

I really thought Malone could start in the NFL
