Man....Another Vol on a team I despise. I can't get a break...Peyton, Foster...

Congrats to him though. He lived in my girlfriend's old apartment building and he was super nice. Great guy.

Chris was my favorite recent Vol, thanks to CBHS. I'm so excited for him on so many levels. I've always wanted to see a Brothers' Boy make it to the NFL. I've seen them in the MLB, but never in the NFL. This is a great day to be a CBHS grad!

I may throw up a little in my mouth when I say this, but we were the Purple Wave...Rolllllllllllllllllllllllll Tide Roll!

Seriously, where would this even put Walker on their roster? I Kinda feel that He's got to be looking at 2nd-3rd string at best currenty

It's pretty rare for undrafted players to make the final roster, unfortunately, unless you're a long snapper like Cox was. We're very deep in the front seven, so I'm not sure if there will be room for him.

I'm surprised they check for Tay Sachs....i'm pretty sure that's a disease where - if one is born with it - he or she (almost always) won't live to be near this age


edit: yep, usually results in death by age 4
