Justin Harrell- Does he suck?

Thanks for stopping by. I'll let the readers chime in here, but very briefly, Harrell is beloved by the Tennessee faithful. He was on the tee for an exceptional year when he hurt his arm, and he sealed his status as a Tennessee legend when he decided to play one more game against one of our biggest rivals even with the season-ending injury.

I'd have to go back and look, but I can't remember any other injury, so I'm not sure durability is an issue, unless one injury makes it an issue.

What do the rest of y'all think?

Let's play a game...it's called "Find the Common Deominator".  Here we go:

• Shaun Ellis
  
• Parys Haralson
  
• Albert Haynesworth (pre-"I'm going to stomp on your face!")
  
• John Henderson
  
• Leonard Little
  
• Jesse Mahelona
  
• Darwin Walker

Yup, they're all former defensive linemen for the Vols who have made an immediate impact for their respective NFL team.  Most (if not all) are still starters and huge team contributors.  Harrell was coached by the same staff that groomed the above players, so there's absolutely no reason to question Justin's leadership, commitment, or work ethic.  He's certainly proven himself on the field and off.

I'm unfamiliar with the effects of Harrell's bicep injury, outside of the fact that your arms are necessary to play on the DL.  I would assume that with proper rehab, he would be as good as new, if not better.  But like Joel said, that's the only injury I'm familliar with during his career.

As far as fan sentiment, again Joel hit it on the head.  He's absolutely adored.  I don't know anything about his personality, however I do know that he has never been in trouble with the UT coaching staff.  I would not expect any type of "law trouble" from him, which is seemingly hard to find from many NFL players these days.

If the Colts land him, I hope you enjoy Justin's services...much in the same way you've enjoyed that #16, er #18 guy's!
