UT All-Time All-Star Team

[Boston Vol]

George Cafego and Bob Suffridge have to be included on any all-time team.

No Jalin Hyatt? How soon we forget…..

I keep seeing cordarelle Patterson. He was indeed unreal with the ball in his hands but I don’t think he was that great of a receiver here if I remember. Wasn’t it his route running that lacked? But man if he got the ball in his hands it was over with

I hear you but in all my years of watching UT football, nobody was ever as electric with the ball in his hands as CP and that was with a complete boob as head coach! That's a talent that only comes around once in several generations. You CANNOT keep someone like that off the field! Imagine what he could do in Huepel's offense! It wouldn't be fair!

Loved Bill Bates but he got lucky in NFL undrafted FA who made his name on Cowboys special teams..

 

[ftsandersvol]

Any list that doesn't include Johnny Majors is simply invalid.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Great list! Love the focus on the players who have worked out rather than the ones who haven’t. I’d add Shaun Ellis in there somewhere if he hasn’t been mentioned already.

 

[Memvol44]

Here's my starting lineup...

Offense:

QB - Peyton Manning (2nd String Heath Shuler)
RB - Jamal Lewis (2nd string Alvin Kamara)
RB - Chuck Webb (2nd string Travis Henry)
WR - Peerless Price (2nd string Carl Pickens)
WR - Cordarelle Patterson (2nd string Joey Kent)
TE - Jason Witten (2nd string Mychal Rivera)
RT - Ramon Foster (2nd string Michael Munoz)
RG - Arron Sears (2nd string Harry Galbreath)
C - Scott Wells (2nd string Bob Johnson)
LT - Chad Clifton (2nd string Tiny Richardson)
LG - Trey Smith (2nd string Mickey Marvin)

Defense:

LE - Reggie White (2nd string Leonard Little)

That's a very good list. But I can't see Doug Adkins as a second stringer.

 

[EasternVol]

Atkins was better than all those d Lineman not named White

And named White too.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

No Jalin Hyatt? How soon we forget…..

Maybe sniffs top ten

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Yeah I mean, a lot of these are really 1a and 1b. Its hard to pinpoint some of these as definitively better than others. I'm still reeling over several that didnt even make the 2 deep.

 

[knoxvol52]

Maybe sniffs top ten

Everybody likes the shiny new toys!!!

 

[knoxvol52]

Johnnie Jones wasn't to bad as a RB at Tennessee!!!

 

[bray2milton]

Charlie Garner was dynamic. Imagine him in this offense.

 

[bray2milton]

Maybe sniffs top ten

After the performance against Alabama? I don’t know if he is a top 10 player but he is certainly a top 10 receiver.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Without Jeff Hall’s kick we most likely would be one Natty short. Not saying the two listed aren’t very good but, I would add Jeff Hall. He added more that just field goal kicking.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

After the performance against Alabama? I don’t know if he is a top 10 player but he is certainly a top 10 receiver.

I know He's nowhere near a top ten player and it's debatable as to whether he's a top ten receiver. Probably not a top 50 player

Edit: top 100 player because of the Alabama game

 

[RavinDave]

I was reading the (very excellent) best picture thread and it got me thinking, who would you put on a UT all-time team? I’m a youngun compared to some on here, so anything before the late 90s I won’t remember, although I do know some historic players by reputation. Here’s my list as it stands:

OFFENSE

1. Peyton Manning
2. Hendon Hooker
3. Casey Clausen

Running Backs:
1. Travis Henry
2. Hank Lauricella
3. Jamal Lewis

Group 2. Joey Kent, Jajuan Jennings, Cordarelle Patterson, Cedric Tillman

Tight Ends:
1. Jason Witten
2. Mychal Rivera

Offensive Line:
Here’s where y’all will really have to help me out, as I can’t remember the guys from that nasty 2012 line anymore, let alone the greats of the Neyland and Majors eras. Some names that come to mind are Aaron Sears, Michael Muñoz, Phillip Fulmer, Trey Smith, and Darnell Wright.

1. Big John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth
2. Billy Ratliff and Jesse Mahelona

[GoVols1961]

Rod Wilks, special teams.

 

[peaygolf]

Doug Atkins was good........

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

No way you left me off the wr list bro…. It’s not possible

How can Chuck Webb or Dale Carter not be on that list as well?
