Having been around for more than a century, Tennessee football is a renowned collegiate football program. Creating Hall of Famers on Rocky Top and drafting elite NFL prospects are just a couple of examples of that history.
Out of all the players the Vols sent to the NFL, fourteen were selected in the top ten of their draft. A few of those players have progressed to become Hall of Famers, franchise players, and excellent starters.
Tennessee’s position among the top ten picks for all SEC teams is practically exact. The Vols and Auburn are tied for sixth place among the SEC’s top 10 NFL Draft selections. With LSU, Texas A&M, Florida, and Georgia trailing the Tide and ahead of the Vols, Alabama leads the field in points.
It’s unlikely Tennessee will add another player to this list in this year’s draft, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility in the next few years. The 2024 NFL Draft will take place in Detroit, Michigan, from April 25 to 27, and a few more Vols will get their opportunity at the National Football League.
