Brandon is a talented young man, and a solid teammate.
I don't think anyone is actually overlooking him.
The one thing Brandon hasn't yet had that Jauan Jennings and Marquez Callaway have, is the home run play. Like Jauan's sideline catch for a TD vs Florida, or his hail mary reception against UGa. Like Marquez' punt return for a TD against Georgia, or his 2-TD night against Georgia Tech.
Brandon had a game kind of like that against UMass, but it was UMass...and we went on to pretty much tank the season, making the whole campaign forgettable.
So don't despair, man, he's a very good receiver. He just hasn't yet had the eye-popping, "pick up the team and carry them on my back to victory against a key rival" kind of game some of our other lads have.
Here's hoping this season, he will.
Go Vols!

Hey guys.. Im just curious after 2 seasons playing at UT why is Brandon Johnson so overlooked by the media and some of the fan base? Whatever answer u give I want be offended. Im just curious. Give me ur honest assessment. I've been dying to ask this question. Thanks
Thanks for your honest assessment. I agree with you. Butch never dialed up any homerun plays for him last season. I hated the way they used him last season, but I was greatful that he got a opportunity. They didnt dial up any home run plays for him. When they get inside the 20 they always take him out and i never understood that. This a new staff so lets see what happens.
When did Callaway return a punt for TD against UGa? I turned off last years UGa game after getting highly intoxicated by the 2nd quarter but I'm pretty sure we were shut out ...
Brandon is a slot guy.... Nothing wrong with that... I do think he can be a solid Z option. He has fluid hips and I'm sure his 3 cone drill time is good. I didn't see elite speed but he is a crisp route runner and attacks the ball. If I was him with his frame, I would tell him to gain weight and learn to use his body to leverage the ball... Honestly, he just needs to capatilize on his opportunities. Don't complain, don't be bitter, just work.

He is basically a 3rd down possession receiver, so not a guy they are going to use in fly or deep post routes too often. His strength is he is a guy who can get open quickly on short to medium routes to pick up 3rd downs.
