Vols open doors to former football players

KNOXVILLE — Former Tennessee football players have been a common sight during the Vols’ spring practices the past two weeks. If head coach Jeremy Pruitt gets his way, that will be a regular occurrence. Former Vol and NFL Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara was on the sidelines during Tennessee’s spring practice Saturday, and Pruitt said having the presence of former players can only help the program.

“I think it’s good for the program,” Pruitt told reporters Saturday. “It’s good to get everybody back.”

Kamara was joined by former teammate and tight end Jason Croom at Saturday’s practice, and Vols from different eras have made their way onto the practice field this spring.
