It’s been quite some time since the Tennessee Volunteers had this many high-level draft prospects in the same class. It shouldn’t be surprising after their best season in almost two decades. But it is still refreshing to see talented players realize their potential and live out their dream of playing in the NFL.
For the past few drafts, Tennessee has typically had one prospect projected early, while the rest go in the middle rounds—or undrafted. The story has changed up a bit for the 2023 NFL draft. In fact, on this list alone, Tennessee has had four different players projected in the 1st round by at least one national analyst.
