Even with very few seniors on the team this year, there are plenty of guys who could be taken in the 2016 NFL Draft that will have already been with the program for at least three years after this year.
The crazy part,though, is that the best prospects for the Vols are players who will not be eligible to leave after this year, including guys Jalen Hurd, Kahlil McKenzie, Drew Richmond.
But there are some serious weapons on the Vols who will be getting major looks for next year’s NFL Draft, making this upcoming college football season that much more crucial for them.
And yes, they are all over the field. Despite the youth, the Vols have some major talent going into the year.
Many of these players about to be named were recruited by Derek Dooley.
To keep things in perspective, next year’s draft won’t feature too many Tennessee players simply because of the youth that we have already mentioned, but it could feature more than you think. However, Vol Nation does not want it to feature too many players because that means many of them left early.
Heading into the 2015 college football season, these are the top 10 Tennessee Vols 2016 NFL Draft Prospects who will actually be eligible next spring.
