Athlon is high on the potential of these two Tennessee football Volunteers.
Despite a ton of returning talent heading into the season, Tennessee football lost a lot of production in the few players who did graduate this past year. That includes its two leaders in sacks and its two leading receivers.
As a result, there are plenty of candidates for wild card players who could potentially break out in Jeremy Pruitt’s third season, and it makes sense that an edge rusher and a wide receiver could be on that list.
