The football seasons are almost upon us. This Saturday, college football will begin the 2021 season, and the Tennessee Volunteers will start the march to a bowl game on September 2nd. Shortly afterwards on September 9th, the NFL season begins—hopefully, with less COVID issues, and more exciting games.
There’s a fair amount of college football fans who aren’t big NFL people. Either they don’t have a favorite team, or it’s not their cup of tea. But even that group can get interested with the help of some former Volunteers. Tennessee football has maintained a solid level of NFL draftees, even during a rough patch in the program’s history.
