Cedric Tillman’s Tennessee career didn’t end like he wanted, much like Hendon Hooker. Injuries ended up cutting both of their 2022 seasons short, in what could have been a record-smashing campaign. Thankfully for Tennessee, Hooker found a way to get things done without Tillman in some big spots, thanks to a ridiculous year from Jalin Hyatt.
But we’re left to wonder — what if Tennessee had a healthy Tillman all that time? He pretty clearly was never right after he returned, either. Tillman suffered a high ankle sprain against Akron, which forced him to miss the LSU, Florida and Alabama games.
