Tennessee football is expected to have a top-heavy showing in the 2026 NFL Draft. Here's where the top Vols are projected to be picked.
Tennessee football is expected to have a top-heavy showing in the 2026 NFL Draft with between one and three players selected in the first round. Jermod McCoy is a virtual lock for the first round and perhaps the first cornerback picked. His draft position depends on how well teams believe he’s recovered from a torn ACL that sidelined him in the 2025 season.
Cornerback Colton Hood could also go in the first round. Wide receiver Chris Brazzell is a darkhorse possibility for the first round, but projections on his stock vary widely. A few other Vols are also expected to be picked in the later rounds.
The NFL draft will be April 23 (Round 1, 8 p. m. ), April 24 (Rounds 2-3, 7 p.
m. ) and April 25 (Rounds 4-7, noon) in Pittsburgh on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. Tennessee football players in 2026 NFL mock drafts Here’s where Tennessee players are projected to be drafted, according to USA TODAY , ESPN’s Mel Kiper , NFL.
