Pretty amazing coaching and individual player development story for Shamburger, from TOS.
Pro Football Focus this week unveiled its best returning player for every FBS program ahead of the 2020 season, and its choice for Tennessee might surprise you. PFF used its advanced database and crunched the numbers to make its selection. Based on the data, the best returning player for the Vols isn't offensive lineman Trey Smith, cornerback Bryce Thompson or linebacker Henry To'o To'o — it's cornerback Shawn Shamburger.
Here is what PFF analyst Anthony Treash wrote in his analysis of the Shamburger selection:
This one might be a surprise to some, but Shamburger is the most valuable returning Tennessee Volunteer from the 2019 season. Against incredibly difficult competition, Shamburger allowed 45 yards or less in every game played and allowed only 0.67 yards per coverage snap played in the slot — a mark that ranked fourth in the FBS and by far the best in the SEC (only other SEC slot corner to allow under a yard per coverage snap was Alabama’s Shyheim Carter).
