Congratulations to Nigel Warrior and Trey Smith!

If he'd played in all the games he'd have had a better chance, but LB in the SEC is a very competitive position... how many end up in the NFL... it's kind of like kids all star teams, they tend to be made up of a dozen shortstops/pitchers.Hate it for Bituli. If he had played in all games no doubt he would be.
Ruggs (Bama) chased him down like he was a parked car. He did finally reach his potential under Pruitt.We all know that Pruitt is a DB coach at heart, and spends a lot of time with the back of our defense.
Warrior would have never been drafted coming into this season, or even on a watch list for all SEC. Shows you what good coaching as well as mucho effort on Warriors part can do. He is the son of the best DB we have ever had...not Berry, no, Dale Carter. Unanimous first team All American twice as a DB as well as at kick returner where he led the nation at 29 yards per attempt IIRC. He was my favorite player as a kid, and went on to an All Pro career. Warrior always had the speed and strength to be a great player, in his blood. He needed good coaching to focus his talent and make the most of it.
Very happy for him and his coaches. Speaks volumes about both. Go Vols
