Tennessee Vols drop video of Dylan Sampson hyping up his teammates before season-opener

The Tennessee Vols dropped a great video on Friday of junior running back Dylan Sampson hyping up his teammates before the season-opener against Chattanooga.

Sampson helped get his teammates fired up as they circled him prior to kick off last Saturday.

No wonder the Vols were so fired up in their 69-3 win against the Mocs -- they were clearly ready to go.

Sampson, by the way, has developed into a key team leader for the Volunteers. The Baton Rouge native took on a bigger leadership role immediately after the Vols' win against Iowa in the Citrus Bowl, challenging his teammates to get right back to work after Tennessee's blowout win against the Hawkeyes.

That's the kind of leadership that it takes to win a natty.
