After snapping a streak that saw at least one Tennessee football player taken in every NFL draft since 1963 a season ago, the Volunteers extended the latest dubious streak this past weekend.
For the second consecutive season, no Vols were picked among the 253 players taken in the seven rounds of the 2016 edition of the draft, finally slamming the door on the dark ages of the Derek Dooley debacle.
The Knoxville News Sentinel's Dustin Dopirak confirmed Marquez North and Brian Randolph signed free-agent contracts with the Los Angeles Rams, and Curt Maggitt was going to the Indianapolis Colts.
