Photo Gallery: Shots From Tennessee's First Day of Spring Practice

Below is a photo gallery from Tennessee's first day of Spring Practice courtesy of the Tennessee Athletic Communications Department.

"It was a great day for our program, Josh Heupel said at his post practice press conference. "(It) Started off with Pro Day, a great opportunity. Tons of pro personnel in here. An opportunity for our guys that have finished their careers here to go out and perform in front of them and put their best foot forward. I thought our players did a great job during the course of the morning, representing themselves and the program. Enjoyed the opportunity to talk about them, about their careers and who they are with the personnel that was here. Great representation from almost every team.

“Then this afternoon, really exciting day for us, Heupel continued. "Guys have been really hard in the first quarter of our offseason program, strength and conditioning, and then them having an opportunity to go out, Day 1, and practice, man. Compete, make a bunch of mistakes, get a whole lot better through the course of it as well. Saw a tremendous amount of energy and effort from those guys. Took coaching extremely well, really positive with each other. Lot of things we’ve been working on as far as our accountability and just the way we interact and communicate with each other, players and coaches alike. Saw a lot of those things in a positive way during the course of practice. Excited as we continue to go through spring.”

Tennessee is set to return to the practice field on Saturday.
