Most underrated Vol of the modern era?

[ttocswob]

J.J. McCleskey...Showed up as a walk-on and ended up with a solid pro career.

Gotta go with JJ, too - offense, defense, special teams - didn't matter, he came to play.

Ha no one has offered up Kelley "The Princess" Washington yet!

Underrated list not overrated

I laughed out loud.

William Howard maybe? He played in the NFL but you never hear his name from Vol fans. That bruiser was a beast.

Jeff Powell. His sixty yard run in the Sugar Bowl put that game out of reach! What ever happened to that guy? Anybody know??

Honestly, Mark Levine sucked.

JJ was amazing. My wife had classes with him. He was shorter than her. Nice guy and good player.

Jayson Swain was an excellent third down receiver.

Very surprised to not see Rico McCoy's name pop up.

I can recall at least twice (one was Auburn's Brent Fulwood, the other was, I'm almost positive, one of the MS teams) when he flat ran down a couple RB's that thought they were long gone. TM was our own Darrel Green.

SIAP but I believe you are referring to Don Smith (think that was his name) from MSU. He was a QB and was gone for a TD when McDaniel ran him down and may have caused a fumble (fuzzy memories)

#31 that played fullback for the Falcons in the Bartkowski years? If that's him, I had no idea he was from UT. A little before my time. Great player though!

Not sure if it's out there yet, but Big John Henderson was a monster. Freakishly huge dude.
