Hooker at backup QB (you could argue that he should be the starter). We've never seen a QB put up numbers that he put up here before, and may never again. He was the Heisman frontrunner before he got hurt in the South Carolina game.

31
27
58 TDs
5 Ints
6000+ passing yards
1046 rushing yards
10 rushing TDs
68.8% completion percentage
SEC Offensive player of the year
All conference 1st team

Hendon was undoubtedly the best player in college football his senior season, and probably would've won the Heisman had he not been injured. Only Peyton Manning is comparable when you look at his body of work.



That's over 7000 yards of total offense in 2 years with 68 TDs and 5 Ints (I couldn't find his fumble stats so can't add those in for a total turnover number).

Those numbers are better than anything any QB in Tennessee history has produced. Neither Milton nor Nico could come close to replicating those numbers so it's not only that Hendon benefited from the system.

Jackie Walker, Steve Kiner, and Jack Reynolds have to be in the conversation at LB. Tim Priest and Bobby Majors in the conversation in the defensive backfield and Doug Atkins has to be on the team, he was selected as thte SEC Player of the Quarter Century from 51-75.

Cordarrelle needs to be some sort of All-Purpose guy. I think AJ and Mayo were too slow to play OLB, but are 2 of the best we’ve had .

I like your team for the most part although I’d find a spot for Rico McCoy and Jason Allen. Jamal Lewis as the starter as well.

Leaving Chuck Webb out of your 3-deep RB room is criminal. Also, no way is Dan McCullers in the top 4 DTs.
