Vols in the NFL – Week 14 Update

Vols in the NFL – Week 14 Update

It was another successful week for former Tennessee Volunteers in the NFL. A total of 15 VFLs are still on the 2022 Pro Bowl ballot. Fans are encouraged to vote for each Vol on the ballot (the full list can be found here) at nfl.com/probowlvote.

Joshua Palmer had terrific day for the Chargers, hauling in five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown against the Giants.

Palmer’s offensive output was matched by another VFL, Jauan Jennings, who snagged three passes for 46 yards, including a huge completion in overtime to help the 49ers march down the field and win the game.

Alvin Kamara made his return from injury and did so with an exclamation point, rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown in the Saints’ big win over the Jets. It was his second game this season at 120 yards. The fifth-year tailback is only 10 yards away from 4,000 in his young career.

Cordarrelle Patterson rounded out a big week of offensive action, rushing for 58 yards and a score in Atlanta’s 29-21 win over the Panthers in Charlotte. Patterson became the first player in franchise history to have five rushing and five receiving touchdowns in a single season. He also is over 500 yards rushing and receiving on the 2021 campaign.

A full breakdown of former Vols can be found below and fans can head over to nfl.com/probowlvote to see VFLs earn a trip to Las Vegas for the 2022 Pro Bowl on Feb. 6.
