Tennessee fans remember Tyler Bray for what he was in Knoxville:
A big-armed gunslinger who could throw it a mile and put up points in bunches.

Bray finished his UT career (2010–2012) with:
• 7,444 passing yards
• 69 passing TDs
• One of the most naturally gifted arms to ever play in Neyland.

Today, Tyler is running QB camps and training young players, helping the next generation develop the mechanics and confidence needed to succeed.
He’s based out of Clovis West High School in Fresno, California, where he grew up.

And his NFL story?
It’s one of the wildest resumes you’ll ever see.
Bray is the real-life Moonlight Graham from Field of Dreams — the player who made one MLB appearance with 0 at-bats.

Bray spent 8 years in the NFL, and here’s the entire stat line:

*2013-2016, 2018-2019: 0 games played
* 2017: Threw 1 pass, incomplete. 1 rush for 0 yards. 1 fumble lost. 1 game played .
* 2020: Threw 1 completion from 5 attempts. 18 yard completion. 1 game played.

8 year career. 1 completion. 0 Tds. $4,400,000 career earnings.

Tell me that’s not the most efficient career in NFL history. (least?)

And honestly? That’s a brilliant start to adulthood.
He maximized opportunity, stayed ready, earned a living few people ever get to dream of—and came out healthy.
Now he’s paying it forward by coaching and developing young athletes.

So here’s to Tyler Bray:
Tennessee gunslinger.
NFL Moonlight Graham.
And now a coach who’s helping shape the future of the position.

Vol fans will always remember the arm.
Here's to hoping a lot of young QBs will remember the coach.

Bray wasn’t throwing 6 yard Nico passes. He was throwing on average almost 20 yards. Guy was slinging it all over.
This^. Some people act like he was missing throws like Nick cause they see his comp %. One big reason his completion percentage was low because he actually threw the ball away a lot to avoid sacks. Another was he tried to fit the ball into tight windows and a lot of them deep like you’re saying.
