Vol fans already know what to expect from junior quarterback Josh Dobbs next season.
Apparently the national media is now catching on as well.
NFL.Com released their list of top ten breakout players on the verge of stardom and Dobbs’ name was on the list.
"From NFL.Com:The junior essentially rescued a UT season from non-bowl to bowl-eligible, helping Tennessee win its final four SEC games for the necessary six wins after sitting the first seven games. The dual-threat quarterback shredded South Carolina for 301 passing yards and 166 rushing yards to spark a thrilling overtime win on the road, and completed 16 of 21 passes in a win over Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl. With wide receiver Marquez North healthy again, Dobbs will also have a gifted target that was available to him in only one game last year (Alabama)."
It should be noted that North was actually credited as playing in three games with Dobbs, but injuries prevented him from making an impact against South Carolina and Kentucky.
