Retired today from the NFL. Congrats on a great college and pro career. Got him a national championship and a super bowl ring. Good deal.

Int vs Florida in 98 was unforgettable.

ABSOLUTELY IT WAS!!!! Who did he have the 3 pick game against? And was that the game where he pick 6'd the very first play? It sucks getting old.

Yeah, dude looked like a high jumper just picking an apple from a tall branch. Remember like it was yesterday.

Auburn in 99.

Yes....thank you. The way that game started I thought we were gonna blow them out. Turns out his play was somewhat the difference. One of the best Vol performances I can remember....literally. It helps that I hate Auburn. Respect the heck out of them, but hate them.

Congrats Deon!

Maybe he'll return to Knoxville and take a sideline reporter job, or a radio talk show spot.

Congratulations, Deon Grant. And Thank You. You will always be in OUR hall of fame.

Congratulations as well to Deon. Hope he has a career lined up to move into from the gridiron. He made some awesome plays for us that every Vol fan can't forget. Maybe he can visit and inspire our secondary right before WKU. We know WKU will be winging it and it'd be great to some aka Deon type interceptions. Thanks Deon and congratulations.

Auburn in 99.

That was the game where we stopped them 4 times inside the 5 yd line. Defense definitely Won that game.. Shaun Ellis had the 93 yd int return for TD. CBS returned from commercial, showing Ellis on the sideline bench. The 6'4" DE end with Blonde hair said, "I wanna say whats up to the *!%%!$ at the crib!!" Awesome. CBS immediately cuts away from Ellis back to the game. :lolabove:

I remember looking at the scoreboard and being up 7-0 with 14:46 remaining in the first quarter...and we kicked off. Deon Grant was a special player, congrats to him for an outstanding career.

24-0. But Tee threw some bad balls and Jamal did not run well that game. Could have been a total rout bc AU was a joke on O with a brand new QB.

Just watched it on YouTube a few weeks ago.

Thank you and congratulations on a wonderful college and pro career, Deon! Remember, you are part of of the UT family and are always welcome back on the hill.

Maybe when Peyton is HC he will hire him to be our secondaries coach.

Congrats to Deon on an amazing career.

And thanks for one of my all-time great memories in the '98 florida game.
