KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE - Tennessee defensive backs Rashad Baker and Mark Jones got a look Monday night at wide receiver. <br>
<br>
Coach Phillip Fulmer said the two have a great deal of acceleration off the line of scrimmage. Both were recruited as receivers. <br>
<br>
``Both of them are quick as cats and are pretty good when they have their hands on the ball,'' Fulmer said. ``It creates a little bit of depth for us and some competition for positions. The tough part is not on the practice field but getting them enough time in the meeting rooms. That's a lot of material to have to learn.'' <br>
<br>
The Vols will have a scrimmage Tuesday night. They open the season against Wyoming Aug. 31 in Nashville.
