Ty Byrd

[tabrams]

Why hasn’t he played more over the years?? The guy has absolute speed, so it must be something else. Does anyone know why he has been so under-utilized??

 

[Rockytopvol86]

Big props to him today for sure. Couple of big plays

 

[UTK]

Think he's one that could never get the playbook and routes down.

 

[Chilmonty]

JG......next question!

 

[Remy]

He and CFA came in almost as a package deal if I recall correctly. It almost seem as if CFA has had more of an impact on the field than Byrd though. Tickled he had a good game today.

 

[UTvols#1]

Yep .Byrd was the word today. Happy for him

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

We gave them the Byrd!

 

[De La Cloobs]

Maurer seems to like him

 

[kiddiedoc]

I had forgotten he was even still on the team.

 

[BeecherVol]

Really good game by him today.

Need as many options as you can get in this league.

I think his success today was a direct result of Tee being on the sidelines....Its been reported he wanted to be on the sidelines to have more of impact on WR rotation..... don't think it was a coincidence that Byrd got more reps today...

Wonder this too. A big weapon when out there

I am glad that they moved Martin to sidelines. I brought that up a few weeks ago.

Think he can have more of an impact there being able to interact with players.

Yep. Great to have a Byrd siting today. Loved seeing him get a chance to make some plays. Looked really good.

What a call. What a run after catch! I really had no idea he was still on the team. When I saw #10 taking it up the sidelines, I was like who dat? Then I started reading stories about how he could have transferred but stayed. I’ll be darned. What a great story

 

[A.J.]

I was really happy for him. He’s stuck with it when a lot of others would have transferred. He’s a good example of perseverance and giving 110% at whichever role he is asked to do and having positive attitude. His 1catch last year was a TD too. Hoping he gets some more opportunities!

Another Byrd MAN: Koko B. Ware.

 

[Florida Orange]

The kid should have been targeted heavily throughout his days at UT. 7 catches in 3 years with 3 touchdowns. Let that sink in.

He was moved to defense and played there last year I thought he graduated last year. So happy for him and he helped my heart today because I was stressed when it was 13-10 that TD was huge.

I had the pleasure to meet this young man last season while out one day in Knoxville. He took the time to chat with everyone, take a few pictures and talk a little football. Just a great young man that I couldn't be happier for.
