2024 NFL Mock Draft: Two Volunteers selected in ESPN seven-round projection

Welcome to NFL Draft week. Top prospects from across the country will learn their fate, starting on Thursday night in Detroit. The event will span three days, wrapping up on Saturday evening.

Tennessee is expected to have a couple of players hear their name called later this week. Running back Jaylen Wright is the clear-cut top prospect for the Volunteers, coming off of a 1,000 yard season in 2023. The explosive back crushed the NFL Combine, headlining the testing with a 4.38 40 yard dash. Wright averaged 7.4 per carry last season to lead the Tennessee backfield.
