The movie The Blind Side was a huge success in 2009. Among the award-winning film's most memorable moments was when actor Quinton Aaron, who played Michael Oher, blocked a mouthy defensive end all the way down the field, depositing him over a wall.
It might not have been over a wall per se, and the movie cameras might not have been rolling, but Tennessee offensive tackle John Campbell, Jr. just did his best impersonation in Nashville.
The Tennessee offensive lineman got his hands on a Virginia defender – whose number is hard to identify due to Campbell's hulking size – and drove him through the end zone and deposited him past the camera row and to the wall of the stands.
Campbell, a 6'5" 320-pound transfer from Miami, is listed as a co-starter at left tackle with Gerald Mincey in the team's first depth chart this week. However, with the success the Vols have had on the ground and in pass protection on Saturday, so far there's very little change that appears to be necessary for this unit, aside from Cooper Mays reassuming his starting spot when he's cleared to return.
And Campbell appears to have locked down his place in that group in the most emphatic and memorable of ways possible.
