During the second week of fall training camp, Tennessee offensive coordinator discussed Tillman’s growth this offseason.

“He’s fine,” Chaney said of Tillman on a Zoom call with reporters. “He’s been battling a little hamstring early on, but he’s doing what he needs to do. Cedric’s a big, strong kid with strong hands.

“I feel like he should be a very productive player for us this fall. I’m pleased with Ced. The kids laugh, Ced is one of my favorites. Ced is my man. So, Ced and I are tight, and I get a kick out of our relationship. I like the young man. He’s getting better and better every day he walks out on the field.”
