Jon Gruden Crashes University of Tennessee Class, Struggles to Use Zoom

A group of Tennessee students were treated to a nice surprise when Raiders head coach Jon Gruden crashed their online class on Tuesday.

As part of the university's "VFL Class Crash," Gruden dropped in on a statistics class to say hello to the students. The professor was introducing her lesson when Gruden's booming voice appeared.

"We're getting ready for the NFL Draft. I don't have a lot of time," Gruden said. "We're really sorry to interrupt. I'm a huge Tennessee fan."

Gruden initially struggled with Zoom and didn't know how to use his webcam until his wife Cindy, a Tennessee graduate, helped him out.
