Don’t mean to get ahead of myself but last night has me excited for the future...I’ve been thinking ahead to next year and what the 2-deep might look like...I’m wondering what everyone thinks about who might leave early after this year...here’s my list

Very likely: Callaway, Taylor

50/50: Bituli, Jennings, Warrior

Anyone else would be a complete surprise to me...what do you all think?

If any of those guys leave could be a mistake as with a better OL next season (depending on what happens in the off season and if we get those recruits) those offensive players could have superstar seasons. On defense all those guys need another year in the system to get stronger and more recognition of their play. I'm not saying some of them could not make a roster but you want to get the big money up front if you can. That would mean have a super season and all three defenders could dramatically improve their position with another year with Pruitt.

After last season and limited results this season is would be a big mistake for anyone to leave early after this season.

Another year with Pruitt and this staff could move them up to a much bigger 1st NFL contract and, for most, that 1st contract will be the only contract that counts unless they turn into a star.

VFL...GBO!!!

I agree with this...but I think a lot of players these days are willing to take that chance...if they get even a mid to late round grade they take the chance...I think Callaway and Taylor get a solid mid round grade and I think the other three are more likely late round grades

Jennings is the most likely. I dont see that any of the others have accomplished enough to leave yet for the NFL. Jennings has been here for a while so I'm sure he will be checking out.

I don't think it's a good idea for any of them

When you hear that maybe one guy on our roster could make the Bama team, what in the world would make anyone on our team believe they could make a NFL roster. All of our players will immensely benefit from another year of coaching from a real coach. Barring injury, their draft stock can only go up.

For the record...I don’t think any of these guys have played their way into big time money...but I don’t think it takes that anymore for a kid to leave...

Look at last year...we had three guys leave and none of them except maybe Kelly had proven themselves at the college level...the other two left on potential only...and they got drafted...

I think all of these players have the measurable for their respective positions...I think Callaway and Taylor have great meadurables, have produced this year and shown continued progression as the season has gone on...I think they’ll look great at the combine and that will translate to a 3-5th round pick...I think they both leave because of this...

I think the other three I mentioned are much bigger stretches

I believe you...but I’m amazed...I feel like I’m watching a different player than the one they’re talking about

I’m sorry man, I was making these posts in jest. Completely sarcastic about all of it.

You’re too kind and assuming for me to keep it going. Have a great day and go Vols.

Anyone claiming to be “entering the NFL early” off of this team will, in fact, be retiring from football.

Could see Bituli...draft stock wise. Everyone else is putting themselves out there hoping a team sees potential...which worked out well enough for our early declared last year.

I’m a huge JJ fan, but don’t think he has the speed for the NFL. Strength yes, but too slow imo.
