Players That Were Average in College But Excelled In The Pros?

[NeverWe'llSever]

Justin Coleman/Emmanuel Moseley/Shy Tuttle (even though that was mainly a product of injuries) are/were way better in the pros than at UT imo.

That’s a great one, can you think of any Vol players?

Moseley and Coleman

Juan James or Josh Palmer

James was a 4 year starter and first round draft pick I believe. Nothing average about his career here

Raleigh McKenzie. 11th round draft pick by Redskins in mid 80s. Quickly became a starter as one of the then famous Hogs. Two Super Bowl rings.

Jim Bob Cooter... lol

Coradrelle Patterson was a great kick returner at UT but never really did much as a wide receiver. He is now in his 11th season and multi all pro as a special teams specialist but Atlanta has used him as a running back and found ways to get him the ball in space to really be a part of their offense. He is a freak athlete I wish the staff at UT had some of that creativity when he was on the roster.

Ramon Foster

Brad Johnson. Never won the job outright at FSU and was replaced a couple of times as the starter. Eventually won the Super Bowl with TB.
