Tennessee Vols legend Eric Berry will be honored during UT's game against Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon.

Berry, the 2008 SEC defensive player of the year, will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame later this year.

On Friday morning, Tennessee dropped an awesome tribute video for the former Vol that's narrated by VFL Robert Ayers.

Ayers, who is currently a defensive graduate assistant at Tennessee after spending 10 seasons in the NFL, was teammates with Berry at UT for two seasons (2007 and 2008).

Berry, the No. 5 overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, played with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2010 to 2018. He reached five Pro Bowls and he was named to the NFL's 2010s All-Decade team.

If not for his battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma (which Berry returned from and was named the NFL's comeback player of the year in 2015) and various other injuries, the former Vol would be a no doubt Pro Football Hall of Famer (he still has a case for the Hall of Fame, by the way).
