Tennessee fans are invited to participate in a live chat with former Vol defensive end Will Overstreet Thursday, March 14, beginning at 3 p.m. (Eastern). Overstreet will discuss his career with the Vols and his prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Last season, Overstreet led the Volunteers with five sacks. Despite missing two games with a knee injury, Overstreet had 35 tackles (25 solo) and nine tackles for a loss (70 total yards).
Overstreet, an All-SEC Academic choice, was one of ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli's top performers from the recent NFL Combine:
"A consummate overachiever, a defender who certainly isn't the most physically gifted player, but who possesses a huge motor and loves to play the game. He may always be kind of an in-between guy, at 6-feet-2 and 259 pounds, but can probably play a couple different positions. He ran a pair of 4.66 times in the 40 and showed good movement in most of the drills. He solidified his status as a first-day selection."
