...Mark Bradley, a former Tennessee assistant coach (1992-2000) who helped build and recruit UTs 1998 national championship team under Phillip Fulmer, said Pope has more upside than most realize.
Austin has more athletic ability than Jason Witten, and Jason is special because he works his way to being special, said Bradley, who recruited and coached Witten when the 10-time Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowler was in the Tennessee program (2000-03).
Just one thing: Bradley believes Pope is better-suited to play linebacker for the Vols than tight end, where he was recruited to line up.
