Tennessee QB Dobbs' stock on the rise heading into NFL draft

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs has earned nearly as much attention for his academic achievements as his football exploits, so he is approaching the NFL draft process like he is prepping for an exam.

And the results are familiar: Dobbs is acing his football tests as well.

Regarded as a potential late-round selection or even an undrafted free agent prior to his senior season, the aerospace engineering major now could hear his name called by the second night of the NFL draft.

"I've done exactly what I set out to do, just put together great workouts in each of my opportunities to work out for various teams," Dobbs said.
