Meet Tennessee wide receiver Tyler Byrd. Byrd currently has two receptions for 21 yards. No, that’s not for a game - that’s for the entire season.
On Thursday, Byrd tweeted this out:
I just spent 30 mins trying to book a flight to “Fenton island” no air line recognized that destination I guess it doesn’t exist ♂️ ♂️

“Fenton Island”, of course, is referring to South Carolina cornerback Rashad Fenton, who has had an excellent season against his opponent’s top receiver thus far this year.
#Gamecocks CB Rashad Fenton has allowed 0 TDs this season. His primary WR:

NCSU 4-32
MIZ 3-29
UK 4-41
LATECH 1-3
TAMU 3-43
ARKY 4-19
That’s not bad. Also, as our friend Brad noted today, if this had been, say, Marquez Callaway, it’d probably make more of a splash. But this is a player that has only caught two balls all season and probably won’t be lined up with Fenton anyway.
We’re storing that tweet for later just in case, by the way.
