will bartholomew
tom hendrix (thought of mike jackson first, though)

Bill Duff...John Ward described his tackle of Eddie George: "He did NOT make it!"

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

That doesn't make up for the 3 he missed vs Bama in 2015 that cost us the game

Butch cost us that game by going conservative

Charlie Garner

Eddie Brown. Played in the shadow of Bobby Majors, but starred as a pro with Washington

He was a hero ... a pretty good DB, and lost teeth blocking a punt (or was it a FG?).

Josh Malone

Casey Clausen by a mile. That dude had confidence and swagger that was mistaken for cockiness. One of my all time favorite Vols.

Thought Rajion Neal was a good player.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Erik Ainge for me. I always liked him. He was extremely accurate and won some big games for us. He also played when UT had some very bad defenses.

 

[Mccage]

Eddie Moore

Brian Randolph was a good player that never gets much credit for sure. Dobbs was a lot of the time, some morons really wanted Dormady to play over him . Corey Vereen was good too, was overshadowed by Derek

Prentiss Wagner's first three years were great. He was the best man in the secondary and possibly the whole defense.

Constantin Ritzmann

Maybe Tyler Bray

I don't know if he was necessarily underappreciated, but will overstreet was definitely overshadowed by John Henderson. He was a really great player and I felt like a heart of the defense at the time. I think two in the names of Tennessee legends that Shaun Ellis is also sometimes forgotten. He was a tremendous player, but like most defensive ends at tennessee, played under the shadow of the legacy of Reggie White and maybe didn't get the credit he deserved.

Travis Henry. He would start when,Jamal Lewis was hurt but Jamal would get the nod when he was healthy again but Travis always tore it up.

Paul Yatkowski

Chris Donald

Glad you mentioned Colton Jumper. That guy just played hard & received much venom from VN. Of course, when JG came along the hate transferred.

Sax, all I ever saw from Jumper, was an undersized, less athletic than most, football player, who played with heart, worked his butt off and constantly put himself in a position to make plays!
GBO!!
