With all of the playmakers the Tennessee football team had on the roster last season, sometimes it's easy to forget that wideout Dont'e Thornton Jr. was pretty special with the ball in his hands. He didn't put up video game-type numbers by any means, but he was rock solid for the Vols.

The 22-year-old speedster was drafted in the fourth round by the Las Vegas Raiders and he's already looking pretty darn spectacular at camp. Him and Geno Smith are building chemistry, with Thornton proving to a lot of people early on he could end up being one of the biggest steals of the draft.
