NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Defensive end Jeremiah Johnson II cannot wait until the Tennessee ***** ans finally put the pads on.
Neither can his teammates, especially along the line.
"Honestly, they don't know what's coming when we get pads on," Johnson said Thursday. "But we say that in the best way possible. We're just eager to really play this front the right way, and you can only do that with pads on, so we're just very excited."
The ***** ans not only have a new head coach in Robert Saleh, they are implementing his defense to smother opposing offenses and get after quarterbacks.
It's why Tennessee gave All-Pro tackle Jeffery Simmons a pricey contract extension in June and revamped the line around him this offseason. The ***** ans traded for Johnson, signed John Franklin-Myers to play beside Simmons and traded into the back of the first round of the April draft for end Keldric Faulk.
