I was reading an article on Goxtra.. How could you not want to play with a guy like that.. :worship: :worship: :worship:

Battling Brown: Wes Brown is realistic. The senior defensive tackle knows this could be his final season of football.

“This could be my last go-around,” Brown said. “I just want to make the best of it. This team, this program means too much to me for me to just lay down now. I’ve got to give it all I’ve got while I’ve got two decent knees right now.”

“Decent” might be an overstatement. Brown struggles to make it through practice every day. Most college football players dream of playing in the NFL. Brown just hopes his knees will allow him to finish his college career.

“It’s tough,” Brown said. “It’s a daily struggle. My teammates are the ones that really get me through it, knowing that the season is here and they’re out there practicing. I want to be out there as much as I can.”

Yet when Brown can’t go any longer, he’ll head to the sidelines. The former Athens, Ala., standout can’t just sit idly by. That’s why he has a curl bar on hand, ready to work on his upper body when his lower body can’t keep up.

“If I just can’t go, I’ll come out,” Brown said. “But Tennessee means a lot to me. These guys mean a lot to me. I’m going to be out there as much as I can.”

I met Wes last year in Greenville at a minor leauge baseball game. He was there with John Crompton and I got to talk to both for awhile. Wes was well mannered and very polite. I hope that he and the Vols have a great season.
