The Tennessee Vols had a number of players hear their names called in the 2025 NFL Draft. From James Pearce, Jr. in the first round, Omarr Norman-Lott in the second, and Dont’e Thornton, Jr. and Dylan Sampson in the fourth, some VFLs got to live out their dreams of becoming NFL players.
However, that wasn’t all for UT players joining the NFL ranks. Three players signed agreements with teams as undrafted free agents after the draft: Will Brooks with Kansas City, Omari Thomas with New Orleans, and Elijah Simmons with Arizona.
Those players won’t have to wait long to get their NFL careers underway, as rookie minicamps are already underway.
