The Tennessee Crush (previously known as the Tennessee Pioneers), a minor league football team originally based in Chattanooga, will be opening their 2008 Season in Cleveland with their new head Coach Tom Weathers Jr.

The Tennessee Crush is a member of the USFL, a Minor League Development Program for players trying to reach different levels of professional football.

Marquis Griffin, #4 of the Crush, was invited to the Chicago Rush Evaluation Camp. Griffin has been with the Tennessee Pioneers and has committed to the new Tennessee Crush 2008 season. He graduated from Brainerd High School and was chosen All-City and All-State Receiver in 1998. He was chosen Player of the game four times during the 2007 season with the Pioneers and was recently chosen by the Minor Football League as an All American player.
