The road to the NFL winds through Knoxville today as Tennessee Football hosts its annual Pro Day. This is a golden opportunity for former Vols to showcase their skills in front of NFL coaches and scouts, right on their home turf.
While some Tennessee players have already made appearances at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, Pro Day opens the door for any former Volunteer eager to impress the NFL's decision-makers.
The lineup for Tennessee’s Pro Day features 14 players, including:
- QB Joey Aguilar
- DL Dominic Bailey
- WR Chris Brazzell II
- DL Bryson Eason
- CB Colton Hood
- EDGE Joshua Josephs
- TE Miles Kitselman
- CB Jermod McCoy
- DB Jalen McMurray
- DL Jaxson Moi
- RB Star Thomas
- S Andre Turrentine
- DL Tyre West
- DB William Wright
All eyes will be on cornerback Jermod McCoy. After missing the entire 2025 season due to an ACL injury, McCoy is making his comeback.
He chose to skip workouts at the NFL Combine to ensure he’s at his best for today. His performance could be pivotal, potentially determining whether he lands in the Top 12 of the draft or slides to a later first-round spot.
Expect a full slate of drills, from the classic 40-yard dash to intricate route-running exercises. This is the moment for Tennessee’s prospects to shine and demonstrate their on-field talents.
According to ESPN’s Matt Miller, who released a comprehensive seven-round mock draft, five Tennessee players are projected to be drafted. McCoy is pegged to go 12th overall to the Dallas Cowboys, with Hood, Brazzell, Josephs, and Eason also making the cut in various rounds.
Stay tuned for more coverage of Tennessee Pro Day in Knoxville. The event is closed to the public, but the excitement is palpable as these players take a major step toward their NFL dreams.
