The 2021 Southeastern Conference football media days is taking place July 19-22 at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham-Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama.
Senior defensive back Alontae Taylor took part at SEC media days on Tuesday.
Taylor discussed Tennessee’s quarterback battle comprised of Harrison Bailey, Hendon Hooker, Brian Maurer and Joe Milton.
“I feel like, when you have a group of quarterbacks like we have, it’s really hard to just say we need to have a clarity of who our quarterback is going to be,” Taylor said. “All of them are great quarterbacks, all of them are smart guys, respectful guys, and they’re all leaders on our team. Just make sure they’re working hard, make sure we stay on top of them.
“As a corner, specifically in their passing game, being able to talk to them, what do they see, what do I see, things like that, that could help them out as far as bettering their game is probably what’s most important to me.
At the end of the day, I don’t think rushing to figure out who your quarterback is going to be is a smart thing. I feel like just let it play out, let every guy work as hard as they can, and may the best man win. At the end of the day, our quarterback room is big, it’s deep now, and I feel like they all respect each other.”
