DT Shy Tuttle
Looking for the most NFL upside on the roster? You can make an argument that it belongs to Shy Tuttle, who is a prototypical defensive tackle prospect with excellent size and athleticism. The 6-foot-2, 311-pound defensive tackle hasn’t been able to stay healthy, however, and that has cast significant doubt about his future not only as a potential star for the Vols, but also his NFL potential.
His status for the start of 2017 is still in doubt, but if he can get on the field early in 2017 and make the type of impact he’s capable of, he’ll certainly be a name to watch.
