Cameron Sutton turned down millions to keep learning at Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Cameron Sutton is crazy.

No, he isn't your everyday daredevil, attempting life-threatening feats. He doesn't wrestle bears or play with venomous snakes.

Sutton is certifiable because Tennessee's senior-to-be turned down millions for another year in Knoxville. Not that Knoxville isn't a lovely place, but Sutton, one of the SEC's top cornerbacks last year, was viewed as a first-round talent, projected as the No. 19 and No. 26 pick, respectively, by ESPN draft gurus Mel Kiper and Todd McShay in October.

Congrats, Vols, but let's put this into perspective. Former Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes earned a four-year, $12.
