3. Tennessee's Kongbo will notch more sacks than any SEC newcomer
"Robert Nkemdiche."

That's the comparison that has been thrown around in Knoxville for incoming sophomore Jonathan Kongbo among people with knowledge of Tennessee's summer workouts. Nkemdiche was a bona fide freak and it sounds like Kongbo has the same physical makeup.

Despite last fall being his first full season to ever play football, Kongbo's athleticism made him the No. 1 JUCO prospect in the country according to 247Sports and 247Sports Composite. But there were questions......

Being compared to nkemdiche, man hopefully he lives up to it.

This article also sheds some light as to why he can't wait for the bama game.

Hope he's better than Nkemdiche. That kid couldn't sack a bag of groceries if he worked at Kroger.

But man could he rack up receiving yards against FCS teams.

He can fall out of window like a sack of potatoes though.

Compared to nkemdiche, no need to go out side the family. How does he compare to Reggie White, that's the gold standard?
How great can #120 be?

So Bama didn't want Kongbo? Yeah right.

I think the same thing happened to Nkemdiche last year that we saw in other players when they know they are NFL bound after the season. Just going through the motions to get it done and injury free. He was a better player than he showed on the field last year is my opinion.

Unfair comparison imo. White was truly a once in a generation talent.

They didn't initially when he was a 247lb DE Juco, however per gvx.247 he is up around 282lb and looking pretty nasty. Alabama actually tried to recruit him again but obviously that didn't pan out.
