Jonathan Crompton played quarterback for the Volunteers from 2006-2009, but he said he didn't enjoy his time behind center in Knoxville.
In 2008, Crompton's junior year, he spent the first four games of the season as the starting quarterback, but after a 1-3 start and some particularly poor play, the Volunteers benched him for first-year player Nick Stephens.
During his struggles, Crompton said he received harsh treatment from Tennessee fans, which included death threats aimed at him and his family. Crompton said he never quite got the bad taste out of his mouth.
