Alontae Taylor drafted round 2, pick 49 by Saints.

They choose Him to play safety?

I don't know. I was just saying IMO, his skillset is best suited for safety. I think he played CB in college out of necessity.

Vols win bowl game if he played

Vols DID win the Bowl game

The fact that you think it’s true shows you haven’t been a TN fan very long.

Or maybe he just turned off the NFL

Congrats. The Saints love them some Vols!!!

First UT defensive player to be drafted in the 1st 2 rounds since EB. A trend we desperately need to buck.

First defensive back. We had Derek Barnett and Darrell Taylor. Maybe more, don't remember.

This is a stat that’s truly hard to believe …. And a great indicator of the lousy state of affairs over the last several years

It's hard to believe because it isn't true.

People arent happy with the pick. Saying the Saints reached for him. And maybe they did. But I hope he has a long career that proves all of the critics wrong.

That’s some bold trash talk for a guy who isn’t exactly killing it in the nfl

His first NFL interception was thrown by Baker. It's just some light trash talk, not a big deal.
