Months after becoming Tennessee’s first 1,000-yarder rusher since 2015, Jaylen Wright became the first running back the Vols have had drafted since 2018 when the Miami Dolphins traded up to select him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Saturday. The North Carolina native was three-years-and-done with the Vols, striking while the iron was hot following an All-SEC junior season in 2023. Running back has become largely a devalued position in the NFL, but Wright still will be making good money as a fourth-round pick as he chases a second contract.

Since we have a lot of new visitors this weekend, I guess I need to explain this thing. Browns fans dropping by the OBR may initially be confused by the OBR Daily Newswire if this is their first interaction with it. For example, it never really calls itself the "OBR Daily Newswire" except in the graphic for the article. So, there's a certain level of knowledge one must gain there. Second, there's a juxtaposition between the links, which often point to articles where the author is informed and erudite, and the chatter surrounding all the links, which is, frankly, extemporaneous nonsense from an overtired webdork megadosing on coffee at 6AM.

Not only has he appeared to have mastered roster and coaching building in the modern era of college football with Ole Miss, but he's also been able to temper the program at the same time, which is always easier said than done.

Kiffin strongly urges coaches to look more into ‘ego’. Something even he didn’t previously grasp
