Kirk from Texas A&M who is first team on the list...

Had 2 punt returns for Tds 300+ yards.... 0 kick returns for Tds 300+ yards.

But played WR which I guess makes him a better special teams specialist.... I don't know.. you guy figure it out...

Kirk under 750 yards combined punt & kick returns.

Berry over 800 just kick...

Kirk 2 tds.

Berry 3 tds.

Kirk longest kick return 40 yards :bore:

Berry longest kick returns 76 yards, 88 yards, 100 yards.

I guess since Kirk does both kick & punt he got first team..

Tennessee already has 2 good Punt return guys in Sutton and kamara...

If berry did both he would be first team.. and stats would have blew Kirk out of the water... they kinda already do

This just came out 5 hours ago. CBS all-American Team. Kind of sums up my original answer to your questions. Fans sometimes get star struck by their own players and forget what other teams might have to offer.... :)

UF:
J. Davis LB 1st team
J Tabor CB 1st team
M Maye S 2nd team


UT:
E Berry KR 1st team
C Sutton PR 1st team
D. Barnett DL 2nd Team


That works both ways. Gators and Bammers come in here and act like they are the only ones with good players and TN players are garbage. TN might have had a few downfalls last year and fell short against UF again but TN has got some talented guys. Some guys that are talented that don't get much recognition. I would take Jalen Reeves- Maybin over just about any LB in the country.


I see the Derek Barnett/Myles Garrett comparison all the time. I'd take Barnett in a heartbeat. Barnett has produced as much if not more against better competition. Most of Garretts sacks have been against lower FBS teams or FCS teams. Garrett dont look good playing the run either.

Funny Berry on 2nd team and he led nation last year

Did he have any returns for a TD against a good opponent? Is he a player that just specialize in one thing? All those could be factors.


Most of the better opponents knew better than to kick to him.


NW didn't kick to him either. He scored anyway with a 100 yd INT return.

Bama and Gator fans come in here with a combine streak of 20 games in a row against UT. It really doesn't matter what we think about our players... Lol

Oh, right. I'm sorry. I thought this might be the beginning of an actual discussion. Oh well.
