After years of being under-represented at the NFL Draft Combine, a pair of Commodores will have the opportunity to wow scouts in Indianapolis. Linebacker Zach Cunningham and offensive tackle Will Holden will have the chance to boost their draft stock this March after being invited to participate in the league’s annual meat market.
Cunningham, a 6’4, 230 pound linebacker, was a consensus All-American as a redshirt junior who decided to leave Vanderbilt after three seasons and capitalize on his gridiron credentials. He’s currently projected as a late-first, early-second round pick. If he can find his way into a spot among the first 32 selections, he’ll be the first Commodore since Chris Williams in 2008 to represent Vanderbilt in the first round of the NFL Draft.
