KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Talk with new Tennessee receivers coach Kevin Beard long enough, and you will hear him mention a favorite phrase: “tool belt.”
And the way Beard sees it, the more tools a receiver has in his belt, the more productive he will be.
“It’s like a handyman,” Beard said. “He can’t have a small tool belt because every time he’s missing something, he’s missing out on time. He has to go back to the car, go back to the shop and get something.
“But if he has enough tools on his belt, he can show up on the job and execute any job issued.
