I think it has to be Peyton because you knew he was touching the ball on every play, but all of those guys were exciting in different ways.

1. Willie Gault (Football and track BOTH) We went to all the home track meets
Gault just had the it factor when it came to charisma
football. gault
basketball. King
baseball. Helton

CP is the best I’ve seen with the ball in his hands. So to me that translates to the most exciting. One of my favorite deserts has always been apple turnover. So Peyton anytime he played Florida would be up there too

CP84 was unreal. He made SEC athletes look like they were standing still.

Heath Shuler for me but that’s a bit further back than what your referencing

I loved watching all of them, but Eric Berry from this list is it for me. I got to watch him in high school and the anticipation of seeing him on Saturdays in Neyland was almost too much to bear.

Sievers, Cobb, Webb, Pickens, Little, Garner and McGee come to mind quickly for me.

Might catch some heat but pure "excitement" might have been Tyler Bray and co. in 2012. I know he was a bit of a knucklehead while here but my goodness that offense was exciting. Score over 30 points a game every game except two I believe.
I can't recall but i believe 10 out of 11 of the starting offense played in the NFL and ironically the one who didn't was our highest rated recruit.
Bray

CP
Rivera
Dallas Thomas
James Stone

Charlie Garner, Chuck Webb, Pickens (offense and defense!), Jamal Lewis, Josh Dobbs, Alvin Kamara. Greg Amsler was also fun to watch for something you wouldn't expect for a guy his size. Berry and CP are locks.

Most names have been covered here. Dobbs, Kamara, Hurd, Jennings 2015/16 were pretty good too. Evan Berry should get a mention

Peyton for me. He was just so good. Chuck Webb in 1989. Carl Pickens was dominant. Al Wilson. Reggie White in 1983 was as dominant as anyone I have ever seen on a football field. Peerless Price is in the conversation as well. Willie Gault returning kicks. Tim McGhee in 1985. But Peyton overall.

Dobbs, he made the offense click and would make crazy plays every game it felt like. Plus, the comebacks he led were crazy.
