Tennessee football players in Super Bowl both fit Vols NFL narrative

Two things have defined Tennessee football ever since Phillip Fulmer was fired and the program fell off the map. Both of them fit the narrative of the former Vols players competing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The first dates back to what Fulmer built, which is a program of elite punters that earned the school the title of Punter U. However, since Fulmer’s firing, players dating to his last year on Rocky Top have created a tradition of being undrafted stars in the pros.

Emmanuel Moseley and Dustin Colquitt both fit one of those profiles for Tennessee football.
