More power to him if he’s getting a first or second round draft evaluation.

I can promise you he isn't getting a 1st rd grade, but still good for him. RB is so devalued, go get your money. Congrats and thanks, Jaylen!

 

[VolInDayton]

I just wish we would had used him more, especially in that Florida game. Good luck. Runningbacks don't have much time to make their money.

Best of luck Jaylen!

 

[ksgovols]

Very Classy. Good luck Jaylen!

Even if he's not getting a 1st or 2nd round evaluation...if he's getting any evaluation that yes, he will be drafted as a RB into the NFL, he needs to go grab that brass ring.

RBs in the NFL seem to have a shorter and shorter life span...go make that money and do great things while you can Mr. Wright and come back to us one day to teach them young guns how to run !!!

 

[BigBadVol]

I wish him nothing but the best! Thank you for being a Vol and a damn good one! I hope he has a successful NFL career!

 

[UTwild82]

Best of luck, young man. You've earned this opportunity. Somebody is going to get a hell of a running back.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Hopefully will be drafted high to show recruits what Heupel’s offense can do for running backs. Wish him the best and will automatically be my favorite running back in the nfl.

Will be remembered fondly for those big runs and for outrunning all of Kirby’s players that first play.

 

[DarkVolder]

He needs to come back and finish what he started

Doubt that’s happening. Most teams are addressing their running back needs in the fourth or later. I don’t see him projecting as a Bijon Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs outlier. Would love for the Bears to add him.

Smoked the Georgia DBs. Somebody is going to a steal.

Naw

He needs to go to the NFL. RBs only have so many carries in them.

 

[Ratvol]

I wish him the best. I’ve really enjoyed watching his running ability while clad in Big Orange.


Go VOLS

Best of luck to him ..... but he is currently projecting as an undrafted free agent on both NFL Draft Buzz and NFL Mock Draft Database. Draft Buzz really hates him. They have him as the #34 RB and #428 overall payer in the 2024 NFL Draft. That's not even close to being a draft pick. Maybe he can make a team anyway?

He was the #4 RB in the SEC in yards and that was at 7.4ypc. At 5'11/210lb he's just fine in size for a speed back as well. Having said that he'll need a good combine to get into a higher draft position.

 

[BDP!]

Best of luck Jaylen. I'm glad you played for The Vols.

Cool story. If he gets hurt are you going to cut him a check?

I bet he runs a sub 4.4 which should increase his stock big time.

Yep. I think he put a very good season on film for himself in the draft. Coming back could be better but you only have so much mileage as a RB probably less when you’re getting hit by SEC talent year in and out.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Go West to the NFL, young man. Bad for us, but good for him. May other’s follow in his footsteps and match his success! I’ll have yet another NFL team to pull for assuming he doesn’t end up in Minneapolis or Detroit.

 

[fossilfiction]

I wish he stayed for my selfish reasons but I think he does well in the NFL, and hell yeah for him! His size, strength, and speed are excellent for a running back.

 

[BowlBrother85]

You guys are kidding yourselves. He won't be drafted .... but he still might make a roster as an undrafted free agent.

I know the RB position is devalued . . . but it's crazy to me that a sub 4.4 guy who just ran for 1,000 yards in the SEC projects as a free agent. Hopefully he turns heads at the combine and makes some money on the 3rd day of the draft.
