What's Drae Bowles situation? Just farther down the list?
And I'm still kind of surprised there wasn't more of a push to get Croom some time as a pass-catching TE, but I guess that was more likely if he had arrived in January.

The mod's and the coaches have repeatedly said his upside as a WR takes him out of the equation as a TE. I also think he was promised during his recruiting that he would not be placed at TE. I can't confirm that but I read it somewhere. He certainly has the body for that position. I'm talking about Croom just didn't say so.

This makes sense, but I think dropping him into a TE spot once in a while would be a great way to screw with a defense.

Can't disagree with the logic, I just don't think it will happen.

Great news on Rivera and another nice set of notes. Thanks Ryan. Picked Rivera on my fantasy team last night. When I pulled him up, the notes on him were not up to date. Obviously CBS is not getting their info from 247 like me or they would still be "in the know." GO VOLS!

No doubt Rivera is important in Chaney's game plan..He's proven to be pretty durable also..Problem is that Chaney uses a lot of 2 TE formations but.doesn't have enough bodies..Will be interesting to see how this plays out because Chaney isn't exactly know for being a innovative OC

I can't remember if graham was prone to fumble regularly but he can definitely speak to how painful it is to fumble in a big game. I'm still not over the two to open the 2nd half against Florida in '95. Hope Rajion takes ball security serious!

Excited to see our running game...now that we have a solid RB coach like Jay Graham. I think they will be the surprise group for the upcoming season. Sure the OL has alot to do with that..they will be solid as well. But last year I felt like they just did not finish runs or run with authority!

Tennessee starting senior tight end Mychal Rivera says he's now back to full strength after being limited for much of the past two weeks by a sprained knee.

His role in this offense just became twice as important. I hope he stays healthy.
