Berry won’t disclose choice before bowl
Posted by GameSetMatch on December 30th, 2009
Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin believes Eric Berry will play in the NFL next year.
Virginia Tech is just trying to figure out what position Berry will play on Thursday night.
Berry, a junior safety, could play his last game for Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Virginia Tech. He is projected as a high first-round pick if he enters the NFL draft. Most mock drafts list Berry among the top five picks.
“I want to focus on Virginia Tech,” he said.
Virginia Tech’s biggest concern is following Berry on the field. He has 14 career interceptions but the safety often plays in the middle of the defense like a linebacker.
“We’ve asked Tennessee to put a little red light on top of Eric and so we’ll know where he is all the time,” Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring joked Tuesday. “They haven’t really gotten back with us to let us know if they’re going to do that.”
Berry (5 feet 11, 203 pounds) is an effective run-stopper. He is second on the team with 83 tackles, including six for losses.
