Already shifting into full team sessions midway through the practices, Justin Worley and Marlin Lane were the first skill players in the Vols' backfield while the receivers again remained the trio of Josh Malone, Marquez North and Von Pearson.
Tennessee continued extensive special teams, ball-security and fundamental drills with head coach Butch Jones stalking all areas of practice. Jones also wasn't the only one barking orders on the microphone, as receivers coach Zach Azzanni also bellowed instructions during one segment.
Interesting to note is that for the second consecutive day, Vols' coaches made players who dropped passes, punts or interceptions drop for 10 pushups each time. Players are told only, "You owe me 10!" During one segment of offensive skill work, all the Vols' players were required to drop the ground for pushups.
Jones did take time early to challenge a reserve offensive lineman, labeling him the Vols' first "energy vampire of camp."
"Look at him, he's got his fangs out," Jones barked, adding, "and you can write that!"
It was clear that position coaches were trying to set a tone early, particularly with younger players, challenging them in drills and talking to them about body language and demeanor.
