Cordarrelle Patterson makes it the 10th straight year that a former Tennessee football player is going home with a Super Bowl championship. But the New England Patriots wide receiver was the only former Vol to play in this game despite another one being on the Los Angeles Rams.
With Todd Gurley hurt in December, the Rams signed C.J. Anderson and used former Vol John Kelly, whom they drafted in 2018. Kelly was a serviceable backup, running for 70 yards over two weeks to help the Rams win both games and clinch a first-round bye in the NFL Playoffs.
