Which former vol

[VFLCodyGBO]

Had the most potential but ruined it due to off the field issue?

Da'Rick Rogers and Nukeese Richardson come to mind.

 

[Doberman]

James Banks?

Nilo Silvan?

Janzen Jackson

 

[volfanecs]

Travis Henry

 

[KBVol]

James Banks?

Nilo Silvan?

Who was that hard hitting safety we had under Kiffin that couldn't get right?

Janzen Jackson

 

[Doberman]

Janzen Jackson

Yep, came to me after posting.

 

[bornbleddinorange]

I guess the Jalen Hurd situation was an internal issue but I have to think he has "issues" in general.

Tony Robinson

Nukesse did NOTHING.. other than a 6 yard punt return

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Tony Robinson
LaMarcus Coker
Onterrio Smith

If it wasn't for Onterrio Smith, I wouldn't know what a Whizzinator was. That has to count for something.

Travis Henry

Henry went on to have a decent NFL career, just too many kids.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Reggie Cobb. People forget he was as good, if not better than, Emmitt Smith in college. He had an OK NFL career but one that did not reach its full potential.

 

[Offset Eye]

Travis Cozart

 

[KBVol]

Henry went on to have a decent NFL career, just too many kids.

Yep, 6100 yards, 38 tds, 3 different 1000+ yard seasons. Didn't reach his full potential for sure, likely due to his off the field messes, but that's a good, solid career.

 

[Boca Vol]

Travis Cozart

That one came to mind.

 

[VolBricks]

Does Bryce Brown count?

 

[Offset Eye]

That one came to mind.

Friends of mine on the '95 team told me that had Cozart not been kicked off the team, Graham would have never seen the field.

Kelly Washington
Edit: Ooops. No real off the field issue, other than attitude and ego.

 

[1982Alum]

He did do a hold up. With today's generation there must be some credit for that.

 

[TN Outlaw]

T-Rob
Cobb
J Jackson

And me. I wouldve had an awesome career but my off the field issue of not being very good at any sport ruined my chances! Its a shame really.

 

[JustFunnN'Orange]

To Rob'son
What a shame

 

[Grudenator]

Erik Ainge

 

[sofflavol]

Janzen Jackson had the talent to be a pro bowl safety, dude was a straight up head hunter. Shame how his life ended up turning out.

 

[Vols_74]

My vote goes to

Da'Rick Rogers - Guy was beast between the lines and won games for UT by himself nearly. Still remember him dragging the "honey badger" about 20 yards downfield

Janzen Jackson - the eraser, enough said

 

[Boca Vol]

Friends of mine on the '95 team told me that had Cozart not been kicked off the team, Graham would have never seen the field.

He was a few years younger than me so I watched him grow up in LC. Great athlete.
