'21 JUCO OLB Byron Young (Tennessee signee)

[SweetasSoda]

Woot! Woot!

oops - double post - maybe he'll be double good!

Hope this is prophetic!

 

[SweetasSoda]

Well, he looks fast

And I hope he does this a lot!

Usually one guy gets hyped up during fall camp and a lot of times they don’t live up to it. Young is that guy this year, while it’s encouraging to hear positive reviews let’s wait until we actually see him on the field before we buy into that hype.

Too late

Why? You're on a Tennessee Volunteers message board. We hype individual players and the team before the season starts. That's what fans do. You don't have to worry about everyone getting disappointed later. The last 10+ years have given us all a little voice in our head that says exactly what you just said. You can relieve yourself from the job of being the "voice of reason" and have some fun with the rest of us before the season starts.

Gonna be a one and done player for us.

I can’t remember off hand another player universally praised by coaches, media, and players throughout an entire offseason.

Cordarrelle Patterson had this kind of buzz. Derek Barnett made waves like this his freshman year as well.

I think when a player this level of buzz, it's legit. Just hope he stays healthy and keeps his head on straight. The sky is the limit.

One of the players I am most looking forward to see this year.

It isn’t universal usually. The only times I can think of this level of praise came from Barnett as a freshman and he was a stud.

And at the most important position on defense (to me). If you don’t have pass rush, you aren’t winning crap.

If you watch this guy run drills he looks different. Physical freak w: Incredibly fast feet. I think we’ve found the pass rusher we’ve been missing.

I agree, when I see him do those circle drills it looks everyone else is in slow motion

Thanks! And I don't even have to go looking for it.

Watch this drill starting at 4:22….BY is first through then watch the others

 

[nicksjuzunk]

[T2P_Priceless]

Watch this one starting at 4:18…BY goes a bit later but you can compare

Dude is a freak. He's got so much speed. Kinda reminds me of Eric Striker.

While I agree with this, we heard the same thing about Kahlil McKenzie, Kongbo, others. Every summer.

[wombat7477]

Kelly Washington also had this kind of chatter. Was legit.

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

If he’s that fast and he is actually as lean as he looks like, why not put him in as an extra blitzing LB in goal line situations ?
