Jonathon Brown. He played in Leonard Littles shadow.

Tony Robinson. He was the most gifted quarterback I ever seen at UT. Million dollar talent. 10 cent brain.

Charlie Garner. The quickest running back I ever seen at UT.

Eric Westmoreland. Played in Al Wilson's and Raynoch Thompsons shadow.

Travis Stevens. Pound for pound is the toughest running back I ever seen at UT.

Tony Thompson. Played in Chuck Webb's and Reggie Cobb's shadow.

Gibril Wilson. Very good tackler in the open field.

I would like to add that Travis Stephens had what I believe was the best single season ever by a Vols RB in 2001. Check the stats from that year. 150 to 200 or better in every big game that year. "Big time players step up in big games" -Santana Moss

why would you call Overstreet overrated?

I think the amount of praise and accolades he received far outweighed his actual production. He was a good player who was perceived as great.He would have had a tough time getting on the field with the 98 D-line.

Temper, temper. I do agree with about Clausen. He is probably the most underappreciated player UT has had in the Fulmer era. Compare his road record to the sainted Peyton Manning. I believe Casey fares very well in that comparison.
