We got one in the bag, for sure.:rock:
Why not?
This is the quality of DL UT had when we won FBS-leading 157 games in 16 years (1989-2004) and beat Alabama 10 times from 1995-2006.
Tennessee's Gen. Neyland invented Defense in the SEC , not Bear Bryant, Nick Saban or Alabama. The General won 173 games: 109 were shutouts.
NFL Drafted D-Linemen Since 1991:
Chris Mims (1st Round #23)
Chuck Smith (2nd)
Todd Kelly (1st #27)
Shane Bonham (3rd)
Leonard Little (3rd)
Jonathan Brown (3rd)
Shaun Ellis (1st #12)
Darwin Walker (3rd)
John Henderson (1st Round #9)
Albert Haynesworth (1st Round #15)
Will Overstreet (3rd)
Justin Harrell (1st Round #16)
Turk McBride (2nd)
Robert Ayers (1st #18)
Dan Williams (1st #26)
Malik Jackson (5th -- Broncos, SB Starter in 2nd Yr.)
And let's not forget NFL HOF's Doug Atkins and Reggie White. Alabama doesn't have 1 DL in the NFL HOF.
I hope so, if you are referring to Mackenzie. I am not counting that chicken until it hatches though. Agree the UNC mess may sway Tuttle toward us a little. I like Settle's film as well, but if there are grade issues, taking him might caused a spot to be wasted. AndI there is still too many strong prospects that out there to fill other needs.
Mackenzie, Tuttle and Picou added to the ones we have at DT, plus add that a couple of the guys listed at DE may move inside (possibly Sawyers and Hendrix), and we have a deep stable for the interior.
