WATCH: Former Tennessee standout Rashaan Gaulden displays perfect technique to cause fumble in 2019 preseason debut
One of the few highlights on Rocky Top during the Butch Jones era, Rashaan Gaulden is now making a living playing defensive back for the Carolina Panthers.
After appearing in all 16 games for the Panthers last season, the former Tennessee standout looks poised to make a big jump in his second season in Carolina and started things off right on Thursday during the team’s preseason debut. Against the Bears, Gaulden displayed the perfect technique to force a fumble against a Chicago receiver that appeared to have the ball covered just a split second earlier.
If Gaulden continues to make plays like these for the Panthers, it’s going to be tough to keep him off the field.
