Bye Week Question - Favorite Non-Household name Vol of all time?

Mike Jones and Bill Young just two of the great DBs that Dickey brought the Hill.

Craig Faulkner was so reliable at reciever

[anbailey76]

We have many great VFLs that no one seems to talk about anymore. Seems like people only talk about the same handful of players, and very few pre-late 90s. I guess it depends on your age. I'll name a few:
Greg Amsler
William Howard
Carl Pickens
Deon Grant
Chris Mims

 

[ntxVOL]

Bill Bates

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Every 2nd and 3rd string Vol that never saw the field, but suited up to be ready to play every game.

 

[Kdbnab1]

Jeff Powell-greatest run

 

[tbh]

Will Overstreet

 

[LWSVOL]

Inky Johnson

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Cedrick Wilson. Underrated receiver for us back in the day.

That team he played on at Memphis Melrose was insane.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Scott Galyon was a good one.

 

[Mustng959]

My grandpa ...... 1921 Vols ...... First team to play at Shields-Watkins Field.

[Orangepantsforever]

Will Bartholomew. The last real fullback

 

[Orangepantsforever]

…..or Greg Amsler

 

[Jauan't Some?]

I always like Jason Croom’s game. I thought he had a lot of potential as a big bodied possession receiver or TE. Unfortunate injuries and playing during the Butch years really limited him.

 

[VolCalls]

Bill Duff...stopped Eddie George cold as Vols beat Ohio State in 1996 Citrus Bowl. He later became an expert in Korean Street Fighting, known as the "Human Weapon."

From New Jersey. Had mutton chops and looked like Andrew Dice Clay when he was a student. I called a technical on him in an intramural basketball game once after he shoved a kid to the floor with two hands for no reason. We all did stupid stuff at that age but he was a meathead.
