Tennessee football week 9 NFL recap: Welcome back Cordarrelle Patterson
Former Vols who played significantly
Trey Smith – OL – Kansas City Chiefs
Once again, Trey Smith played every offensive snap. It wasn’t his fault, but the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t run the ball well, as Patrick Mahomes threw it over 60 times and was sacked four times. Still, Smith did his part to protect Mahomes as the Chiefs beat the Tennessee Titans 20-17.
Alvin Kamara – RB – New Orleans Saints
With Alvin Kamara and Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee football has stars at running back in the pros. Kamara had nine carries for 30 yards and three catches for 32 yards in the New Orleans Saints’ 27-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Alontae Taylor – DB – New Orleans Saints
On the other side of the Saints’ loss to the Ravens, Alontae Taylor played 88 percent of the defensive snaps. He finised with a pass deflection and five tackles, three of which were solo.
