Found this article on NFL.com, Vols at #13
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...teams-with-most-nfl-talent-in-2016-teams-1115
13. Tennessee
Players to watch: DE Derek Barnett, QB Joshua Dobbs, RB Jalen Hurd, RB Alvin Kamara, WR Josh Malone, DT Kahlil McKenzie, LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin, DB Cameron Sutton, DE Corey Vereen, OG Dylan Wiesman, WR Preston Williams
The outlook: This is the year Vols fans believe the team can overtake Florida and Georgia for supremacy in the SEC East. Dobbs has a stable of talented receivers to throw to (Malone, Williams and others). Dobbs also can make plays with his legs when given the chance, or simply hand off to Hurd or Kamara behind an offensive line returning four starters. The defense has speed in Vereen, Barnett and Reeves-Maybin to rack up TFLs -- NFL scouts will be checking out all of these guys as Tennessee roots for a return to glory.
Newcomer in the spotlight: DE Jonathan Kongbo -- Although left tackle might be manned by redshirt freshman Drew Richmond this season, the newcomer everyone is most interested to see is the 6-foot-6, 260-pound Kongbo. He might not start with Barnett and Vereen in tow, but he'll see the field. Butch Jones is fortunate to have two talented youngsters who could anchor the line on each side of the ball for the next few seasons.
