A pair of former Tennessee Vols teammates, who now play for the Los Angeles Rams, combined for one of the wildest touchdowns you'll see on Sunday afternoon. 

Former Vols edge rusher Byron Young nearly sacked Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone for a safety. Love, however, managed to get rid of the ball before he was sacked. Unfortunately for the Packers, he threw the ball straight to former Vols defensive back Jaylen McCollough, who then returned it for a touchdown. 

Here's the crazy play. 

Young and McCollough were teammates at Tennessee in 2021 and 2022 (McCollough was at UT from 2019 to 2023). 

McCollough was signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent shortly after the 2024 NFL Draft. Young, meanwhile, was a third round selection by Los Angeles in the 2023 NFL Draft.
