Yes, the year he had 591 yards was in Buffalo. He also had a 68 yard TD run one year in Buffalo and a 77 yard TD run in Detroit. Yes, I had to look it up. Still, not bad for FB on a team that had 2 RBs( Jamal Lewis and Travis Henry ) that had multiple 1000+ yard seasons in the NFL, each
It's probably Arian Foster, right? He was a very good Vol who played the most physically demanding position with lots of carries and many fans hate him for a couple fumbles and his personality.
Some guy named Carl Pickens rates up there also....
Dude, I wouldn't call Carl Pickens under appreciated, at least by me. Probably my favorite UT receiver and in my top 5 defensive backs and kick returners. Definitely the best 2 way player in my lifetime. Yes, I know he only played both ways one year, but he was very impressive that year. Multiple interceptions and I am 99% sure he housed one of those INTs. Plus, he had several 1000+ yard years in the NFL and make a couple of Pro Bowls. Btw, one of my favorite Pickens plays was KO return for TD against LSU right before halftime. LSU had just scored and seemed to have the momentum, but that changed in about 12 seconds and led to a comfortable UT win
Admitting or accepting?
His post Vol career makes him less appreciated. Obviously, he had some great moments, but you couple some of the other not so great moments with the off the field stuff and people will have a negative perception of him. He seems to be a good guy, although I don't reallly like him throwing us under the bus.
U know who was under appreciated, imo, Craig Faulkner. I watched a couple of classic game highlights today and was so impressed. I loved him when he was playing but forgot how good he was until today. He was fast, tough and had great hands. He would have been a perfect slot WR in todays NFL. Wes Welker and Julian Edelman are Craig Faulkner reincarnated. If only Faulkner was born 12 years later, be would have been a star on the right team in the NFL
Wrecking a motorcycle and having to have his wrist surgically repaired hurt Faulkner's career. There were several games his last year where it was reported he couldn't play at times because of the pain. It cost him at the time the Tennessee record for most catches in a season.
Damn, I forgot all about that and still not sure I remember completely. Damn shame, hell of a football player. I can think of several football and basketball players that ruined careers because of motorcycles. U would think they would no better, but that's probably part of the reason some of the players were so good, NO FEAR.
