I have a question that might create some serious debate. From the greats from 30-40 years ago to Reggie White, Al Wilson, Peyton Manning, and Eric Berry, who is the next "Great One" to come from Tennessee?

Is that person currently on campus?

I think Bray or Worley could fill the role.

The younger Berrys will certainly be loved.

Jacques or Da'Rick.

Yes he is, Justin Hunter

Justin Hunter or Janzen Jackson... I think Janzen will go onto a great career in the NFL, and will THEN be considered a "great" by our fanbase.

Don't believe he is on campus.. There are some great players that I believe will be remembered after they are gone on the team... but the OP's list are legends and they do not come around very often.

I would say as of right now Justin Hunter, but I also hope we can say Derek Dooley one day in the future.

I think Coach Dooley will be one of the great coaches in our program's history when all is said and done.

players that MAY become greats:

Da'Rick Rogers

Tyler Bray

Jaques Smith (reminds me a lot of Leonard Little)

Brent Brewer(don't know about all time legend, but I think he will be the breakout player on our team this season and be an all american next season)

Hard to say....Dooley could be ,but he also could be gone in 3 yrs....To say that Manning would be an all time great or legend after his freshman year would have been tough, but Bray if he progresses like Manning could be the next Great one,or he could be another Ainge or Clasuen Both good or sometimes great but not legend...Me personally I don't remember much about Al Wilson Until 98 When he single handedly beat FL and dominated all Yr leading by laying the smack down and becoming a legend in the process... So we might find out this yr or 3yrs from now or 10yrs and a NC,but to say right now is just a shot in the dark...GBO

If ... IF ... that next legend is on campus now, it is an undisclosed secret. He might be, but there is none that can claim that title yet.
