happened from Faison Brandon and George McIntyre.

You are locked on balls. Your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers. Part of the

Locked on podcast network, your team every day. Hey, good Thursday morning, everybody. Welcome in to it. This is Lockdown-Valls, and I am your host, Eric Kane. Appreciate you guys for being here, making us a part of your morning routine, your first listen, your first watch each every single day, and we are a part of Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every single day. today's episode, we're going to discuss some pro day highlights that happened on Tuesday afternoon on campus, and some NFL mock drafts have been affected by that. But man, what you need to know, and we'll talk about in second number three, Jamal McCoy solidified. He is going to be a very, very, very high pick in this NFL draft, and Tennessee still has a chance to get two first rounders.

More on that in segment number three.

Troy forward, Thomas Dowd, has announced via media outlets that he intends into the transfer portal.

Could he be an option for Tennessee?

I'm just asking the question.

And Tennessee would like to have a rim protector anyway?

You know what you're getting out of Deshawn Bishop.

He doesn't need necessarily to get a ton of run in spring. He did get hit a little bit, but not get a ton of run in spring. So you got a chance for Juan Morris, for Javin Gordon, for Justin Baker, some of these young running backs to get a part of the action.

It sounds like Tennessee ran the football really well in scrimmage number one. Quarterbacks-wise, I think they were just okay. You know, the talk was that George McIntyre probably didn't have the showing that he wanted. That doesn't mean that he was bad. Faison Brandon made some nice throws, had a wide receiver drop that I was told probably

would have been a touchdown. I don't think the wide receivers had a very good day in scrimmage

number one. So what I want to hear from Josh Hepple, what I want to hear from people who

are at scrimmage number two is this. I want the receivers first and foremost to have a much better
