I’ve never seen a Vol DL as DEEP as this one with talented, very productive guys across the 4 man front. We did have a group of 5 D Tackles on one team who eventually played and even started in the NFL- John Henderson, Haynesworth, Boo Moore, Aubrayo Franklin & Demetrin Veal.
Not sure if this DL is loaded with future high round NFL draft picks, other than James Pearce. Maybe Josephs and eventually Jordan Ross will be high rounders. I do think several of these guys including some DTs will eventually make productive NFL players.
I can’t attest for whether the Vols have the current best DL in the NCAA. But I love the way our guys all play hard every snap, all of them do their job/fill their gap, and I wouldn’t trade them for ANYONE! And man, these guys looked bummed coming off the field at OU when they finally gave up a TD!
Edit to clarify- I have not seen a better DL than ours this year. There may be one I haven’t seen. I’ll ride with ours any day, though.
