Vols in NFL Draft

[Voldog1998]

Anybody know the year where we had the most players drafted? Im thinking it was 1999 or 2002 but not sure I know it was definitely during the Fulmer era though.

This only goes back to 2000 but it appears we had 10 in 2002. That 2000 class was impressive. We dominated the first 2 rounds.

Vols Draft Classes 247

If my memory holds, I recall quite a few in the 91 draft. Some had nice careers, too. I think it was 9. As noted above, that 2002 class had many Vols

Both ‘91 and ‘92 had 9 drafted. 3 first rounders in ‘91 and two in ‘92.

Wasn't there a year under Butch or cornbread where we had 1 or 0 drafted?

There were three years between 2015-2019 where Tennessee had no one drafted.

Geez, I forgot it was that bad

Yep, 2015 and 2016.

Eric Gray just went as the last pick in the 5th round. I don't think transferring to Oklahoma was worth it.

If the stories that the paid players could stay if they made restitution for the money they took are true, it still doesn't change the fact he could never pay up and stay in Knoxville. He might have wanted to stay.
It may be a long time before we know.

Hate to say those teams underperformed, but they did.

I still say he and others, including Henry T, were encouraged to transfer due to inappropriate benefits. Not that I care but Henry T slid all the way to the 4th or 5th round. The Pats could be a good landing spot for him.

Best recruiter and developer we ever had!
