Pig Howard
Not many people thought Pig would be with the football program when fall camp kicked off but he’s back and better than ever. Conditioning has always been an issue with Pig, but he’s undoubtably in the best shape of his career. He’s also more focused than ever have has been receiving consistent praise for his workmanlike mentality. The Vols were at their best when Pig played well last year and they need him to have his best season in order to go bowling.
Quotable: “You know what, he’s had a great three days. Knock on wood, he’s been outstanding. His work ethic has been unbelievable. His mentality has been unbelievable. His play has been unbelievable. He’s like a different player from last year just as far as now he knows what I expect.” – Vol WR coach Zach Azzanni
