Organizers did not let it rain on their parade as hill hikers relocated to Thompson-Boling Arena on Monday, April 3, for the third annual Hike the Hill in Heels event. The Hike the Hill event is held on the first weekday of April to kickoff Sexual Assault Awareness Month in hopes of bringing attention to the issue of sexual assault. The original route was set to start at HSS and go to Ayres Hall but was changed last-minute due to heavy rain the morning of the event. Participants met at Thompson-Boling Arena and walked laps around the concourse while wearing high-heeled shoes of various heights, styles and colors. “Hiking in heels is a metaphor for walking in the shoes of someone who has had an experience you haven’t. It’s an empathy building exercise,” Fletcher Haverkamp, wellness coordinator in the Center for Health Education & Wellness, said. Chancellor Beverly Davenport commenced the event in heels at the front of the group. She was followed by various individuals who represented diverse facets of the campus community, including faculty, staff, athletes and students of all levels.

“I went to spread the word about consent. My favorite part was the people participating and seeing people of different genders come out for this event. It shows how much people care on this campus,” Caitlin Lloyd, freshman in computer science and member of Vols2Vols, said. For some, walking in heels came naturally from years of practice, but for others, it was a challenge. Austin Collette, senior in supply chain management, said he came to receive extra credit but was glad he could participate in the event because of its message. “I’ve gained a lot of respect for ladies and what it takes to dress up. I’ve done three or four laps, and I’m already obviously sweating,” Collette said. After walking the concourse, Collette joined six others in the runway competition. The models shakily walked onto the T-shaped stage. Some were wearing stilettos, some pumps and others glittering heels while they walked the catwalk. The winner of the catwalk competition was Wilson Wade, junior in forestry and North Carrick RA. In the other competitions, Molly Yearger represented the Gamma Chi sorority in accepting the awards for largest team and most funds raised by an individual. See HIKE THE HILL IN HEELS on Page 4

Leveraging Privilege for Reproductive Health Toyota Auditorium

A perfect society would see stripping as art, open stripping for everyone’s enjoyment and educate society about the act, according to Beth Hurst and audience participants who discussed stripping’s stigma during a lecture Monday, April 3, at 2 p.m. in the International House. Hurst, a graduate student in communications studies with a concentration in identity, said that the Sex Week lecture, “Stripping Away Female Sexuality,” was about opening a discussion on the stigma surrounding stripping. “Stripping really is kind of a stigmatized identity. We have a negative view of it,” Hurst said. “So, today’s discussion ... I don’t want to be super cliché and say for equality, but it’s to start a dialogue and discussion to recognize where we need more equality and where these issues exist. “And I think that stripping is a perfect example of that. It’s a perfect example of a stigmatized identity that we have created. It’s a social construct.” Hurst said the negativity around strip-

ping was created by a male-dominated and heterosexual culture that perceives women as objects. She says the culture insinuates rape, instead of allowing strippers to express themselves. She also said gender is a social construct as well, in that it is an aspect of identity created and maintained through language. She demonstrated this through presentation slides that were either pink or blue, colors that are usually ascribed to either girls and boys, respectively. Hurst discussed the difference between the two different types of radical feminists: radical libertarian feminism and radical cultural feminism. Radical libertarian feminists believe that women should embrace both masculine and feminine characteristics while radical cultural feminists believe in embracing femininity. “It’s interesting because, like I said, I don’t view myself as a radical feminist. I believe in feminism and that you should always fight for equality, but I don’t view myself as a radical feminist. I view myself as a standpoint feminist,” Hurst said. “I don’t think there needs to be a total complete change, but standpoint feminism is constantly putting yourself in other peoples’ shoes. You’re viewing the world from different standpoints so

as to see where we need equality.” The presentation was about how the history of stripping in America had its origins in belly dancing, burlesque performances and upscale gentlemen’s clubs. Today, according to author Bernadette Barton’s “Stripped: Inside the Lives of Exotic Dancers,” many who strip are college students, career women or free spirits, and it is done primarily for heterosexual males. The audience then discussed their ideas of what stripping would be like in a utopian society, and most expressed how strippers would not be objectified but rather seen as expressing themselves. “I think it’s a really cool idea that we need to reconstruct the current stigmas around stripping and maybe empower women more so to be more of a thing that women get to do and can say they like to do without men criticizing them,” Reagan Forbes, dual enrollment student from L&N STEM Academy, said. Hurst’s own utopian idea was a karaoke strip club, where the club-goers are the strippers and the purpose is expression. The speaker then ended the discussion by saying change happens with individuals on smaller levels.

Pro-life display appears on Ped Walkway

Chris Salvemini Staff Writer

Anti-abortion protestors, along with a large display, greeted students on their walk to class Monday, April 3. The display, called the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), was organized by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, a non-profit organization known for its pro-life advocacy efforts. The GAP features large, graphic images of aborted fetuses and compares abortion to genocides throughout history, such as the Holocaust. “The purpose of this project is to show two things: the humanity of the child and the inhumanity of abortion, that it decapitates and dismembers little human beings. That’s it in a nutshell,” Maggie Egger, project director for the CBR, said. “We’ve looked at the history of social reform, and social reformers have always used images of the injustice that they’re trying to stop in order to expose the injustice to the public and change public opinion.” The GAP is brought to various college campuses across the U.S. and is usually met with student protests, though a significant protest was not seen on Monday. Last year, a large pro-

test formed around the display. According to the CBR’s website, the display is meant to educate students and the public about abortion in ways that traditional media and faculty will not. A common argument against the display used in previous years is that it can upset people who were traumatized by experiences with abortion due to the graphic nature of the images. “Our goal is not to upset anybody or give them a PTSD attack or anything,” Egger said. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Why would this be triggering? If this is a good thing, if abortion is a social good, why would it be triggering to see a picture of it?’ Because it’s not a social good, it’s actually decapitating and dismembering tiny human beings, and that is why people are triggered. It’s natural for you to be triggered when you see something like that.” The display was accompanied by Deeper Still, a local ministry focused on helping people

who have experienced abortion through free and anonymous retreats located outside Maryville. “We start on a Friday afternoon and go through Sunday until about noon,” Debbie Pickarello, a volunteer for Deeper Still, said. “We deal with things like people telling their stories on Friday night; and it is a Christian ministry, so then we start our ministry time sharing with people about the love of God, about forgiveness, and that this is forgivable.” The retreat includes different sessions and prayer times, before ending with a memorial service for aborted children. The CBR was invited to display the setup by the Pro-Life Collegians, a student organization that advocates for the pro-life movement and life beginning at conception. Adam Lovejoy, a junior in supply chain management and president of the Pro-Life Collegians, said he hopes to bring other programs such as Deeper Still or

the HOPE Resource Center, which provides free STD and pregnancy testing, onto campus to encourage conversation about abortion. “I have had a couple friends that have given positive feedback, and then I had others that said, ‘Why are you doing that, I don’t understand why you think that is necessary,’ and I think getting both sides is really getting people to think about the consequences of abortion,” Lovejoy said. “Just getting them to think about it is a step in the right direction for me.” Lovejoy said that he requested the GAP to come to campus because it seemed like the most direct path to stimulate conversations about abortion on campus. “That was probably my most anxious part, offending or upsetting someone who is postabortive,” Lovejoy said. “That was something that I was very stressed about, that is not my intended audience at all … Their (the GAP) mission is to target people who have yet to have an abortion, people who they want to get to think twice if they’re put in that situation.” While the Pro-Life Collegians do not have a large amount of members, Lovejoy said that he hopes to recruit more people to help bring other programs to campus. The GAP display is expected to return on Tuesday, April 4, before leaving campus.

HIKE THE HILL IN HEELS continued from Page 1 Individuals who did not own heels were still able to participate as there were heels participants could borrow from organizers. Additionally, UT athletics donated a number of teal — the color of sexual assault awareness — shoelaces for participants to wear in case individuals could not wear heels. The event had a video booth for students to speak about sexual assault, and the foot-

age will be compiled into a feature about the event. There was also a pledge board on which participants pledged to walk in heels in honor of someone else. UT Center for Health Education & Wellness organized the event with support from the Office of Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice and the United Residence Halls Council. Monetary and clothing donations were accepted at the event for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. “The external support we have received displays a unified front in the community against sexual assault,” Haverkamp said.

Aphrodisiac workshop combines sex, international food Eric Bailes

Staff Writer In Chinese, chives are nicknamed “the grass that raises your yang.” And in early-20th century France, it was suggested that before proposing to a woman, a man should watch her eat artichoke. These are just a few of the things people learned at the Sex Week International Aphrodisiac Cooking Workshop at the International House on Sunday, April 2. The event gave students the chance to learn more about humans’ basic impulses surrounding eating and sex and how they are tied together. Focusing on aphrodisiacal foods from around the world, it allowed attendees to better understand how different cultures view aphrodisiacs and their qualities. The event started off with a look at herbal aphrodisiacs and the different ways they can affect people. Rachel Milford from Reclaiming Your Roots was on hand to show the differences between stimulating and relaxing aphrodisiacs. All the while, samples of damiana tea and ashwagandha toddy were served to the crowd. Milford explained that while many herbs do have a calming effect on the nervous system, and thus allow for relaxation and intimacy, they can also help balance various body systems or treat pain. For example, the passion flower is primarily used to treat insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks. “It’s cool to reclaim your own medicines,” Milford said.

The rest of the event was separated into presentations from around the world, accompanied by food and allowing for a more handson approach. The first country was Mexico, whose featured dish was a spicy dish called “camarones al mojo de ajo,” or “shrimp in garlic mojo.” Along with a brief description of the dish, the accompanying presentation listed off a num-

“

Chives are believed to bring love and attention to relationships. These dishes specifically are often used to treat erectile dysfunction and cure urinary infections as well as reduce excessive sweating and improve waist and knee function. Chives do contain increased cellulose though, which can promote colorectal cancer and dehydration, to name a few outcomes.

It’s like food is all about culture. So when you get to hear about Mexican food, Chinese food, French food, you can discover another world. What food is associated with another culture.” Adrien Líevin, graduate student in rural education

ber of aphrodisiacal foods one would find in Mexico, such as the achiote shrub, stink bugs known as jumiles and red bell peppers. The next featured country was China, with juicy and crisp Chinese fried eggs and chives to try. Other common Chinese aphrodisiacs include reishi mushrooms and ox/goat penis. A brief history of the dish was offered, explaining that the sexual benefits of eating chives have been written about as early as the Tang Dynasty, which lasted from 618-907 C.E.

The last featured country of the night was France, which pulled out all the stops to talk about the many different aphrodisiacs common in French culture. The featured foods were shrimp and cayenne peppers topped with lime juice, with a cinnamon and ginger cider. The accompanying presentation listed a variety of different French aphrodisiacs, complemented by historical instances of their use. For instance, the Roman poet Ovid stated

that men should rub their penises with a paste composed of oil and garlic. Another example would be the effectiveness of celery and cauliflower, as celery will “strengthen your old husband,” according to French merchants and “make magic happen,” while cauliflower increases the production of sexual hormones. Adrien Líevin, a graduate student from Calais, France, studying rural education in the early Southern Appalachians, gave the French presentation. “It’s like food is all about culture. So when you get to hear about Mexican food, Chinese food, French food, you can discover another world,” Líevin said. “What food is associated with another culture.” The last presentation showcased modern aphrodisiacs that dealt primarily with the senses. This presentation approached the belief that cheese and chocolate are aphrodisiacs, with survey results finding that grilled cheese fans have the most sex and that 41 percent of women say that eating chocolate was better than making love. Sally Buice, a senior in environmental and soil sciences and a board member of SEAT, volunteered to take charge of the event, as the topic excited her. To prepare, she contacted all of the speakers and bought all of the ingredients needed to prepare the dishes. “This event was an attempt to get a more international perspective on sex and sexuality; and I think it did a really good job of doing that in a way that brings people together, because we can all appreciate food from each others cultures,” Buice said. “It’s a fun way to look at sexuality.”

Spoiler Alert: ‘Ghost in the Shell’ provokes thought amid controversy Mary Beth McCauley StaffWriter

“Ghost in the Shell,” a sci-fi film based off of the popular manga, premiered last weekend — and although the film has already scored $59 million worldwide, it has been met with its fair share of controversy. Many potential viewers are concerned with how the filmmakers have “whitewashed” the characters in the film, most of whom are originally Japanese in the manga. Despite these criticisms, the film was extremely thought-provoking and well-made. Set in a cyberpunk, futuristic version of Japan, the anti-terrorist group Section 9 has employed the very first “cyborg,” Major Mira Killian played by Scarlett Johansson. Her entire body is synthetic, but she has a human brain. In this futur-

istic world, Hanka Robotics is responsible for all the advanced technology that society consumes. The city is filled with floating digital humans, moving 3D advertisements and society’s hottest trends are “enhancements,” or robotic body modifications. In the first 15 minutes, the film already shows how blurry the lines are between human and robot. It takes artificial intelligence to a whole new level; instead of robots learning artificial intelligence or mindlessly completing tasks, a real human brain has been bonded with a robotic shell. Though Major is the only “cyborg,” there are still plenty of robots who possess artificial intelligence in the film. The most common robot seen is the geisha. Nearly all wealthy residents in the city have robotic geishas who serve as maids, housekeepers or general servants. They do possess some human characteristics and behaviors, but they can malfunction and be hacked into just

like a computer. They eventually pose a threat when the main villain of the film, who comes to be known as Kuze, remotely hacks into a room full of geishas who are serving a Hanka business conference. Throughout Section 9’s fight against this mysterious villain, Major is shown to be battling with her own consciousness. Though she has a human brain and a “ghost,” or a soul, she still feels as though she was only created to take orders and do as she is programmed to do. Her thoughts can always be read, rearranged and even completely deleted, like files on a hard drive. She struggles with her lack of privacy and the cloudiness of her memories before she became a cyborg. It brings up an existential dilemma regarding human intelligence and robotic enhancements: Is society ready to shift into a completely technological state of being? It is eventually discovered that Kuze is also a cyborg and was created to be just like Major,

along with 98 other failed attempts. When Major finds this out, she lashes out against Hanka, struggling with knowing so many lives were lost to create more cyborgs like her. This also leads her to realize that everything she had been told until this point had been a lie. The rest of the movie deconstructs all of the deception and ethically immoral experiments that Hanka had been conducting all along, eventually helping Major retrieve her old memories and granting her the individuality that had been taken from her. This film was extremely intense and thoughtprovoking, raising many ethical and moral questions about the role that technology plays in society and how dangerous it could be to blur the line between human and robot. Aside from the philosophical aspects, any sci-fi and manga fan will enjoy the beautiful special effects and the unique, complex story line of “Ghost in the Shell.”

Softball hopes to conclude massive homestand win Taylor Crombie Staff Writer

Since the beginning week of SEC play, the Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; baseball team has managed to dominate itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three midweek games by a score of 31-5. Coming off back to back losses against SEC foe Georgia, the Vols will look to continue their dominance in midweek games against in-state opponent Middle Tennessee State (13-15, 3-6 C-USA). The Blue Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one that will scare the Vols with power. Through their first 27 games, the offense has only managed 16 home runs on the season. Only one player on the team, Austin Dennis, has at least three homers and four other members of the team that have two home runs. But MTSU isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a team that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit. Riley Delgado is leading the team with a .347 batting average while Aaron Aucker is just a few points behind him at .345. Dennis leads the team in homers and RBIs. On the mound, Jake Wyrick has started four games, the most on the team, and has a 4.89

ERA with a 3-1 record. Tyler Hasper has the best innings pitched to ERA average, pitching 17.2 innings and recording a 3.57 earned run average. For Tennessee, head coach Dave Serrano is going to switch things up some to try to spark the team. Serrano believes that the players have been trying to do too much lately and will look to simplify the game for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get back to fundamentals,â&#x20AC;? Serrano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practice may not be fun from here on out, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get back to the fundamental.â&#x20AC;? Zach Warren will return this week to the starting rotation and get the start. The lefty is 2-2 with a 5.52 ERA. Warren pitched twice from the bullpen in the Georgia series, even though he only faced one batter on Friday night. The team will look to establish some consistency in this game before a weekend series against the No. 7 team in the country, the Florida Gators. One of the main focuses is having the pitching staff and hitters in sync at the same time.

Adrien Terricabras â&#x20AC;˘ The Daily Beacon â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we get offense, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get pitching. And when we get pitching, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get offense,â&#x20AC;? Serrano said. The hitters are coming off a performance that saw them accumulate only three hits as a team after having two double-digit hitting

games in a row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just stay within ourselves and I think everything will work out,â&#x20AC;? Thornton said. The game will take place Tuesday, April 4, at 6 p.m. in Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

Offensive players showcase skills at Tennessee Pro Day Tyler Wombles Copy Editor

Tennessee football director of player personnel Bob Welton saw quality in Josh Dobbs’ workout during the Volunteers’ Pro Day that he had never seen before. “That was the best quarterback workout I’ve ever seen,” Welton said. “That was impressive.” In front of NFL coaches and scouts, Dobbs performed a workout he scripted himself, taking snaps from offensive lineman Dylan Wiesman and making a variety of different throws to receivers. Dobbs’ throwing accuracy, which was criticized by some throughout his career at Tennessee, was on point during the workout, with almost all passes being completed. He ended with a deep pass to wide receiver Josh Malone, who is also a draft prospect. Welton saw Dobbs’ performance as a product of an increased attention toward developing as an NFL-caliber quarterback. “One of the big things I think has happened with Josh is he maybe, for the first time in his life, has really concentrated on football,” Welton said. “If you think about it, his major, he’s got

class, he’s got labs … he hasn’t spent probably the amount of time on football that maybe other college quarterbacks get to. “So I think now, with him training and getting ready for this … I think for the first time Josh has just been able to practice being a quarterback.” Dobbs enjoyed working in front of the coaches and scouts that could determine his NFL future. “It was fun,” Dobbs said. “It was a lot of fun to come out today and have an efficient day. This your last hurrah to get with your guys; so we had a lot of fun, and we had a very efficient day as well.” Many analysts view Dobbs as a late round prospect with potential upside. The 2016 SEC Offensive Player of the Year threw for 7,138 yards and 53 touchdowns with 29 interceptions for his Volunteer career. He also rushed for 2,798 yards and 12 touchdowns, breaking the record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in school history. Kamara Showcases Versatility: One of Tennessee’s most explosive offensive players in recent history, running back Alvin Kamara could be drafted as early as the first round, according to some analysts. And with defensive end Derek Barnett highly

likely to be drafted in the first round, the two players would be the first Volunteers taken on the first day of the draft since 2010 when Eric Berry and Dan Williams were both taken in the first round. “It would mean a lot,” Kamara said. “I think it would just increase the visibility of an already visible program.” During Pro Day, Kamara participated in running back drills, caught passes for Dobbs during his workout and returned punts, showcasing his versatility as a speedy and elusive offensive player. “It felt good,” Kamara said. “Smooth. I’ve been working for a while, just perfecting things, just getting little tiny things corrected. So I felt good overall.” Kamara rushed for 1,294 yards and 16 touchdowns for his Tennessee career. He served as the backup to Jalen Hurd for most of the past two seasons before being named the starter following Hurd’s departure from the program. Kamara picked up 596 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground and caught 40 passes for 392 yards and four touchdowns in 2016. Receivers Work to Impress: Alton “Pig” Howard has not played in a football game since 2015, but it didn’t stop the former Volunteer from

working out at Tennessee’s Pro Day. Howard was dismissed from the Tennessee football team during the 2015 season due to an undisclosed violation of team rules. Howard ran the 40-yard dash and participated in the wide receiver drills at the Pro Day. The 5-foot-8 playmaker caught 54 passes for 618 yards in 2014 but hauled in just one reception for eight yards in 2015. Working out alongside Howard was Josh Malone, Tennessee’s leading receiver in 2016, and Jason Croom, a tight end and converted wide receiver. Croom ran the 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds. Malone and Croom both ran receiver drills and caught passes from Dobbs. “I just wanted to come out and show that I can get out of my routes smooth and fast and still show my speed and explosiveness in between the routes,” Malone said. “I felt like I showed that today.” Malone posted 972 yards and 11 touchdowns on 50 receptions in 2016. He leaves Tennessee with 1,608 career receiving yards. Croom gained 242 yards on 21 receptions in 2016. He was named MVP of the Tropical Bowl, a college all-star game for seniors, in January.

Defensive players fight to get drafted at Pro Day Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor It’s no secret that defensive end Derek Barnett has been a first-round draft target of a large majority of teams in April 27’s NFL Draft. But he’s not the only Vol who is up for draft consideration. Cam Sutton, Malik Foreman and Corey Vereen were just a few of the other defensive players that competed in last Friday’s Pro Day, each bringing a different set of skills to the table. However, it turned out to be Foreman who was the fastest player of the group; in fact, he was faster than anyone else at Pro Day. Foreman’s 40-yard dash clocked in at 4.37 seconds with a 4.23 in the 20-yard shuttle and an 11.63 in the 60-yard shuffle, not to mention 11 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. “We knew he was fast, but I don’t know the last time he’s been timed,” Bob Welton, the Vols’ director of player personnel, said. Foreman had a solid career with the Vols, racking up 71 tackles, three interceptions and started 16 of the 44 games he played in. Foreman’s biggest highlight of the year came against Texas A&M when Foreman chased down and caught Aggie receive Trayveon Williams and punched

the ball out of bounds for a touchback. This allowed the Vols to set up a drive to tie the game. “I felt like I helped myself by running fast,” Foreman said. “That was one of my points of emphasis, running fast and being smooth in my drills. I felt like I helped myself there … I felt like I did pretty smooth, moved pretty smooth coming in and out of my breaks. “I stumbled a few times in two of the drills, but other than that I feel like I did pretty solid.” Foreman is projected by some experts to be drafted around the sixth or seventh round while others have him being signed as an undrafted free agent. Vereen shows strength on bench press: While Foreman was speeding past expectations, the 6-foot-1, 254 pound defensive end Vereen finished with the second-highest amount of reps on the bench press with 26, one behind offensive lineman Dylan Wiesman’s 27. But Vereen admitted after Pro Day that what he was most proud of was his effort in the linebacker drills. “I didn’t drop any balls, I was clean, felt smooth,” Vereen said. “The dropping stuff gives you versatility to why they’d want you over another guy. You always want to be versatile so people can do whatever they need to do with

you.” Vereen wasn’t a linebacker during his UT career – strictly a defensive end. He still had 12 sacks, 16 quarterback hits and 99 total tackles with 25 of those for a loss. But Vereen knows that he can perform well in either a 4-3 defense or a 3-4 if need be. The goal, he admitted, is to get drafted. “Depends on where you go, that’s going to dictate where you’ll be,” Vereen said. “I’m pretty happy. I felt like I could have done better in some areas, but I’m so blessed … I can’t complain.” Vereen has made a lot of the same draft noise that Foreman made with sixth- to seventh-round projections. Sutton continues improving: Sutton has worked hard to get in shape by being on a specific diet over the past three months. When asked if he had had a “cheat meal” in his diet, Sutton laughed and said that he doesn’t want to steer too far away from the plan he already has in place. But after having a successful Pro Day and earning draft stock recognition, a cheat meal may be happening soon for Sutton. “Overall, I thought it was a great day,” Sutton said. “My fieldwork, I think it spoke for itself. I’m just feeling my best, doing my best and coming

off my breaks very well.” Sutton didn’t run the 40, but he did participate in the 20-yard shuttle, registering a 4.15 in the event. Being one of the more noticeable players at the Vols’ Pro Day, Sutton is projected by most experts to go in the third or fourth round. So far, Sutton has had former meetings with the Denver Broncos, the Baltimore Ravens, the New England Patriots, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams, but the 5-foot-10 cornerback said that he met all 32 teams at the Senior Bowl. One thing Sutton says teams have enjoyed seeing from him is his ability to come back from injury. After fracturing his right ankle in the Vols’ Sept. 17 game against Ohio, Sutton battled back to compete in Tennessee’s final three games of the season. The young corner hopes that his tenacity added to draft stock and that teams have complemented him on coming back so soon. “That just shows my love for the game,” Sutton said. “I didn’t really do it for compliments, but that’s a part of it … It’s just a grind. Any chance I get to be on the field with the guys, whether it’s at 100 percent or 1 percent, I want to do it.”
