Tennessee has had a lot of great RBs

[wmcovol]

But none could take it to the house from anywhere on the field better than Jay Graham. Ask Bama (twice) and OSU.

Charlie Garner was with him but not better.

Jay had unbelievable acceleration and straight line speed.

I have mad respect for Jay, loved him running at UT and Charlie, but ....


Reggie Cobb, Chuck Webb, Johnnie Jones, Kelsey Finch, Jeff Powell and Jamal Lewis would dispute that claim.

Stanley Morgan. The “forgotten” UT running back.

Chuck Webb was the best, most explosive RB I have seen at UT. Too bad he blew out his knee and never got to make it a career.

 

[Nationdom]

Coker could go the distance. Too bad he enjoyed Marijuana so much.

Probably wouldn't be if he hadn't split time there and at WR.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Charlie Garner in Madden 02 was straight cash homie

Only played WR as a frosh.

 

[901 Orange]

Well i came up in that Lewis, Bryson, Henry, Stephens era. All 4 of those guys were special but Travis Henry was a dawg. When i think about Vol football its power formation and Henry straight down your throat. The good ole days....GBFO

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

No, TN still split him out at WR often even after his Freshman year. He made the All SEC team as a WR in 74' his Sophomore year. He primarily played RB his JR and SR seasons, but still moved out to WR on occasion and also was used as kick returner as well.

He only had 10 receptions in ‘74 and made UPI All-Sec as a WR. Had 128 rushing attempts and was 2nd team All-Sec as a RB.

Yep

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Jalen Hurd had the potential to be very special. An Eddie George type. Too bad we squandered that

 

[peaygolf]

Yep

Still.....a “forgotten” Vol RB....and WR

 

[onevol74]

Loved watching all of those mentioned play but my favorite will always be Jonathan Jones of Mumford Tennessee. Wish he had the opportunity to play on better teams.

It is highly debatable whether he should have been a running back at all. Tight end arguably suited him better. He was always a good pass catcher out of the backfield at UT.

 

[GordonC]

Tony Thompson stepped up for the team when they needed him and did very well.
William Howard was such a workhorse and so much fun to watch, as was Keith Davis for a time.
There have been several.

Rural West TN has given UT some great players

Jones, Doug Atkins, Tim Priest, Jim Noonan, Chad Clifton, Ernest Fields, etc.......

For one game: Jeff Powell

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Eric Gray lookin like the next one

 

[majorvol]

If my memory serves me right we once had Henry,Stevens and Lewis in one class. You go Coach Fulmer. But my all time favs were the full backs..

 

[hndog609]

We've had a wealth of riches with shortened duration. Sometimes it terrible luck. I'd wager the majority here would put Chuck Webb and Jamal Lewis at the top of the pure talent list and both had their careers dramatically curtailed or ended outright by injury. Others had carries limited simply because there was so much other talent around them. Graham's Fr year for instance had him behind Charlie Garner, "Little Man" Stewart, Aaron Hayden and Mose Phillips.

Greg Amsler used to straight TRUCK folks. Loved watching him run.

Add Lewis and I’m with you. Too bad that they both blew out their knees and Webb before that was overcomeable.
