GOOD Greif what incredibly well written, heart felt summary of who HH is, was, & will be! I aint gonna lie someone was cutting onions nearby or something.
GO VOLS!!!

Hendon, you write about not putting yourself in the same group alongside the most famous Vols in history, but in the end there's really only two groups in football; people who are forgotten, and people who are never forgotten.

In Tennessee, you will never be forgotten.

We gonna whip Clemson’s ass for you Hook!

Amazing article, from an amazing young man.
Not just an amazing football player, but an amazing human being.
Wish you well in everything you do in life, you'll be a success for sure with that attitude and outlook.
We will never forget you.
Truly the definition of a VFL.

[JCHateSteve]

Man I'm gonna miss Hook.

 

[TartanTurff]

HH is in that category of greats at Tennessee whether he likes it or not, greatness at Tennessee is measured by the effort, the commitment and the giving of one's all for Tennesse, the majority of which is on the field of course a measurable portion of which is not and that is where greatness is defined at Tennessee.

[OleRockyTopTennessee]

That has got to be one of the greatest articles from an athlete/person that I have ever read. I put him and Josh Dobbs in the same category as far as a person and an athlete. He actually is one of the greatest players to where the T whether he wants to admit it or not. Truly a great VFL. Best of luck my friend. Go get that NFL money

If you can’t love and admire that young man then something is wrong with you.
