Former Tennessee Vols defensive back Alontae Taylor showed some love to his former teammate, current UT quarterback Hendon Hooker, on Sunday afternoon.
Taylor, the No. 49 overall selection by the New Orleans Saints in the 2022 NFL Draft, sported a Hendon Hooker shirt on Sunday before playing against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Taylor and Hooker only played together for one season, but it's clear that Tae has plenty of love for the current Heisman Trophy favorite.
By the way, Taylor had quite a day for the Saints on Sunday.
The rookie cornerback played well against Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, one of the top players in the NFL.
Here's a great breakdown from former NFL offensive lineman turned analyst Brian Baldinger.
New Orleans beat Las Vegas 24-0 behind three rushing touchdowns from former Vols running back Alvin Kamara.
Based on what we've seen from the Vols this season, I have a feeling we're going to see an influx of Tennessee players in the NFL in the coming seasons.
