Fall training camp: Assessment of Tennessee’s wide receivers

Tennessee practiced for the seventh time during fall training camp on Wednesday at Haslam Field.

Following practice, wide receivers coach Kodi Burns met with media and discussed Tennessee’s unit.

“Really any rotation, any position, you want to be as deep as you can be,” Burns said of the Vols’ depth in the wide receiver unit. “It’s clear that we run up-tempo offense, we play extremely fast. There’s not going to be a whole lot of time for substitutions, but you would like to be at least two-deep at every single position.

“Two, or really three or four wideouts on the field every single play — as deep as we can get. We’ve got to, obviously, stay healthy. That’s a big key, a big part of it, but we want to be as deep as you can be.”
