Watch: Bryce Thompson Nabs First NFL Interception

Another former Vol is already turning heads in the off-season. Undrafted free agent Bryce Thompson found his way onto the field on Saturday for the New Orleans Saints, and it did not take Thompson long to record his first NFL interception. 

Thompson joins former Tennessee standouts Marquez Callaway and Shy Tuttle as undrafted free agents making a name for themselves in the Big Easy.
