Yes! Our fifth round pick. Steal of the draft.

Yes! Our fifth round pick. Steal of the draft.

I had no idea he declared.

Could be a legitimate steal. I want him in Dallas. I'd overlook his flakiness and character concerns.

He looked like the next Eric Berry at UT before he went all nutso.

He looked like the next Eric Berry at UT before he went all nutso.

I vaguely remember this, what exactly happened?

I vaguely remember this, what exactly happened?

To be honest, I'm not real sure. He just up and left campus for no real reason. There was speculation on some message boards (VolsNation) that he went to be with family for something personal, and then there were rumors he was in rehab or something.

I'm not sure a 100% clear cut reason for him leaving Tennessee ever was made public.
