I've always been a Peyton fan loved watching him play but I have to go with my boy "Leonard Little" on this one. I've known his family for years and Little and Wilson were a blast to watch on D.

There will never be anything close to the Leonard Little and Al Wilson combo again. Those two guys played football the way it was meant to be played, and made other teams fear playing the big orange. To me, they define what Tennessee football used to be, and what this program is striving to attain again. On offense, it's unquestionably Casey Clausen. He was fearless, unbelievably competitive, and just had a confidence about him that made for a great leader. On the current roster, it's Cam Sutton.. this kid is going to be special.

How many on here are old enough to recall Jack Reynolds, Steve Kiner and Jackie Walker playing linebacker at the same time in the 60's....I played a non revenue sport during this time and not very well I might add but did live in Gibbs for a short period of time ...quite an adventure...

In all due respect your horizons need to be broaden via either experience or study.....in the mean time take it easy with the 'always', 'will never be another', etc.....the players you reference were all fine players but I could cite many others that compare favorably.....for one have you ever heard of Jack Reynolds, Steve Kiner and Jackie Walker playing linebacker at the same time in the 60's...

I always loved watching James "Little Man" Stewart jump over everyone for a touchdown on the goal line.

He was also a state champ wrestler heavyweight. Even as big as he was, he did a standing backflip when he won state his senior year. Ridiculous athlete he was!

He also dabbled in amateur boxing. I went to see him fight in Knoxville in 94 or 95. It was around the FRAT boxing tournament time. I met him there and he was cool!

Heath Shuler. I would have loved to see him in some of today's offenses. Craig Faulkner made some pretty good catches back in the day too

My all time favorite Vol to watch is Condredge Holloway. I would say, however, that if Corderelle Patterson had been here for 3 years, he would have challenged for the top spot.
