TBT Alvin Toles

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

One of the great Vol linebackers of the 80s. Only played two seasons after switching from FB. Was a devastating tackling machine. Played several years for the Saints before a knee injury ended his NFL career early. His son played 3 years for the LA Dodgers before suffering from mental issues & had to quit.

Can still recall how Ward called his name on big tackles.
