most overrated vols

[Heath Shuler]

To be so awful, he hung around the NFL for a long time.

He's now a coach.

You know I noticed that and never could understand it...Chargers musta really blowed at wr then...he actually was a better pro, cuz he sucked at UT plain and simple trust me.

A 13 year NFL veteran, multiple Pro Bowl player isn't over rated.

The dumbass coaching staff tried him at MLB while he was here.

Not his best position (but more one of need IIRC) and he still led the team in tackles and sacks that year.

What about AJ Suggs?

Dont think he qualifies as overrated..he wasnt here long enough to prove himself and was alot better than Joey Mathews.

Dude looked so awkward at QB.

Love the names on this ignorant thread that were major overall contributors or won big games for the Vols. Starting with Munoz who was all-SEC

Explain how Hefney was a busy...he was a productive, multi year starter and specially teams contributor...is it because he didn't do anything in the nfl?

He couldn't tackle, was out of position, couldn't tackle, not a good ballhawk, couldn't tackle, etc.

He was our best defensive player in 2007.

He could as a freshman and sophomore.

He gradually got worse the longer Larry Slade coached him.

Fair enough.

 

[justingroves]

Fair enough.

It really pissed me off watching that happen.

He is highly overrated by fans because his first two years were so much better than his last 2 years.

Yup. A nameless D-coordinator didn't think Wilson could handle playing MLB.

you have to be rated to be overrated

You're right. I don't know why I thought Askew. Carry on.

He came dang close to beating your Gators in 2000.

He did. Of course kicking 3 FGs inside your 10 will normally do you in. Especially when the stripes give the other team credit for a TD catch that was never caught.

He was an all-american coming into Tennessee.
