Brazzell II, Hood, Josephs and McCoy were participants at Tennessee\u2019s pro day on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Pro day, it’s a great time to see our guys kind of culminate and finish a career,\u201d Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel<\/a> said. \u201c14 guys and their families back here inside of our building. A lot of fun to see them go execute, compete and perform the way that they did today.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys that are on the back end of their career, you look at a guy like Alvin Kamara that’s back here yesterday with our team. These are the guys that are going to continue to come back and pay it forward to the guys that are inside of our program. Can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done here at Tennessee with our staff, and was really excited and happy with the way they performed today.\u201d<\/p>\n
