Kansas City Chiefs Safety Eric Berry led all former Tennessee Volunteers professionally with a historically great day during the NFL Week 13 games.

Tennessee football players still know how to star in the professional ranks, and it was no different for the NFL Week 13 slate of games.

A former Vol had arguably the greatest performance a player could ever have at his position on Sunday in single-handedly carrying his team to victory, and another one had a breakout game for this season.

As we get set to recap the former Vols who performed in the NFL during this past week, we’ll be sticking to the same formula. That means recognizing three standout performers, calling out the three worst performers, naming other players who saw significant or limited action, and giving you updates on everybody else.

One cool fact is that two former Vols were activated this past week and actually got to enjoy some action.

Both of them are rookies.

But there was some bad news for a couple of Tennessee football stars in the league, as they had a down period.

Overall, 20 guys from Tennessee saw action in the league, three were inactive or on practice squads, one had a bye week, and four are still not members of an NFL roster.

But the big story for the week is one former Vol who might have been the best player of the week period. And we start with him, as our first page is star players.

Here are the top NFL Week 13 performers among former Vols in the pros.
