The Hail Mary game at UGA is the top moment at UT for AK.

"I would say the (2016) Georgia game was my most memorable game with the ending it had,” he said. “Florida was a big win and I played my roles, but the Georgia game is what Tennessee fans will remember for a long time with Jauan (Jennings) coming down with the ball.

“The brotherhood and camaraderie through the coaches and players sticks out. Being able to bond with other players was a big part of the success I had at Tennessee.”

Made for NFL: Why do-it-all Vol Alvin Kamara is in the conversation to become first-round draft pick

That I can agree with. Wish we'd had more than 2 years, great player, seems like a better young man. Will be fun pulling for him on Sundays....somebody is gonna get a very good football player and teammate.

I think he gets drafted by 16th overall by the Baltimore Ravens. Ozzie Newsome and that front office are always smart in who they pick. They need a RB. I believe Fournette and Cook will be off the board at that point. I think Baltimore picks Kamara at that spot. Also, its possible we see 3 Vols going in the 1st round. Right now I have Barnett going 11th overall to the New Orleans Saints and Sutton going 15th overall to the Philadelphia Eagles. Don't be surprised if you see this on draft day:

Round 1, Pick 11 - New Orleans Saints select DE Derek Barnett (Tennessee)

Round 1, Pick 15 - Philadelphia Eages select CB Cam Sutton (Tennessee)

Round 1, Pick 16 - Baltimore Ravens select RB Alvin Kamara (Tennessee)

Round 2, Pick 51 - Cleveland Brows select QB Joshua Dobbs (Tennessee)

3 Vols being picked in the first 16 selections would be huge for recruiting.

The thing I liked most about Kamara is he didn't quit on his team in the middle of the season. That's a good quality to have.

That'd be great for TN.

I just don't see Sutton in the 1st. Kamara can shoot up some boards with a strong showing in Indy for sure.

Best I think we can hope for is AK & DB ....

Barnett - 1st round, top 10.

Kamara - early 2nd, late 1st round

Dobbs - 3rd round to the Browns

Sutton - Some team gets a steal in the 4th round.

Kamara almost reminds me of a young Jamaal Charles. Not sure if he has the cutback ability yet, but he definitely has the same explosiveness

It's almost funny that Dobbs and AK list the 2016 UGA game as their best memory while so many fans around here list it as a "should count as a loss". Funny you don't hear any of the players talk about how UGA was a weak team and we should have blown them out. But I guess the posters know more about the team than the players

This is very possible. Strong showing in late feb. and its very possible. I know injuries really really hurt this team but it had a lot of special talent on it.

The Ravens have a good running back. But we definitely need help in the secondary, so I think they would take Sutton over Kamara. But if they have the chance. They will take Barnett over all of them because Suggs is on the last of his career and we need some young blood on the end of the line.

After running into trouble at Alabama, I think Im most proud of the fact that he got himself together, matured, became a team guy, and now is positioned to be a high draft pick. True success story - wish him all the best.

Well said. And not only that, but when he was asked about returning late in the year, he was incredulous at the idea that he wouldn't return due to potentially damaging his draft stock....said he wanted to help his team win, wanted to finish what he started with his boys. Turns out that the kid who originally had attitude issues, who chose Alabama and wound up in JUCO, was the one who the better chest, the more solid character. He is special.

Kamara was/is a great Vol. I wish him much success in the NFL.

My guess is that Sutton will not go in the first round but can see him going in the 2nd. He had a good senior bowl week and good corners are always a big need. Hard to say where Dobbs will go--probably not before 4th unless he has a really good combine
