Greatest Vol Player that didn't play in the NFL?

[VOLINVONORE]

Lee Otis Burton. No question.

Raynoch Thompson.

I thought Raynoch played for the Eagles at one point. I could be wrong though.

Raynoch played for the Cardinals. Not sure about the Eagles.

You still live there?

No, In Georgia now. ABout 2 hours away.

 

[bray2milton]

I remember a tight end by the name of Dustin Moore I think. He was beastly. Anyone know what happened to him?

 

[WA_Vol]

Chuck Webb or Tony Robinson. Webb due to injury, Robinson due to prison.

 

[BmoreVol]

Burnie veazey, benji shuler, andy McCullough. 5 wide in the late 90s was downright scary.

Andy Kelly. Great career at UT.

No, In Georgia now. ABout 2 hours away.

It's good to hear people on here and other places that are from here

He never failed a physical for a team....few days after going undrafted he retired from football

There's no point in taking one if you can't pass it. He was physically shot when he graduated

Larry Seivers, WR, circa 1975/76, 2x AA, never played a down in the Pros, was a step slow for the NFL, but had great hands.

The average age of this board must be too young to know this.

I dont believe he played in the nfl but he tore all sorts of records up in the ifl. I think he last played for the voodoo?

I agree there's no point in taking one if you can't pass it that's why you would sign him to a practice squad or something until he can heal....players get drafted all the time who can't pass physicals because of injuries

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Jesse Mahelona played in the NFL.

Are we talking greatest Vol to never play in the NFL, or never live up what they did on campus??

I posted that earlier today. I think it is on the page before you comment


He made some great catches during his stay at UT

:thumbsup:

Man most of you guys are naming people that played at least a little in the league. I would have to say one of the better ones to not play would by Michael Munoz.

 

[chattavol420]

I'd say Brett smith. Remember the td he caught to help us beat fl? That was an amazing play. I think it was our last win over the gators.

Dustin Moore was kicked off the team. I remember he had similar potential and hype to Cam Clear although I think he was smaller and more athletic. I thought of him immediately when Cam got kicked off.

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

Kevin Simon. Don't think he ever played a down in the league.

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

A couple more that I thought would have success but didn't were Jay Graham and Marcus Nash.

 

[Hbd10]

Does anybody think Gerald jones should have got a chance? Or did he have a chance and get cut?

 

[ncvol17]

Johnny Majors - 2nd in Heisman votes - lost to Paul Hornung from a losing ND team. Majors deserved Heisman - NEVER played in NFL (as OP 's thread noted)

 

[milohimself]

Mahelona played for the titans and the broncos I believe before his untimely death

So he did. My bad. I don't recall seeing him play.

He was decent with the Titans but stayed banged up.
