Heupel discussed Tennessee’s secondary for the upcoming season at SEC media days on July 16 in Dallas, Texas. “Expecting those guys to play at a championship level,” Heupel said. “I love the group as far as their length, athleticism, play-making ability, their willingness to be physical, take on destruct blocks, tackle in open space, their care factor, their knowledge and understanding of what we’re doing, how they approach their practice every single day. I’m really excited about it. “I mentioned a little bit earlier, but this is the deepest that we’ve been within our roster, and that affords you to have the opportunity to have great competition every single day.
