After no NFL Draft picks, the best chance for Tennessee football to be well-represented in the pros was at defensive line. And the most consistent player over four year from the Vols on the line was the first one among those players taken.
Shy Tuttle, who was a four-year player at defensive tackle despite suffering back to back season-ending injuries, inked a deal with the New Orleans Saints following the draft. Josh Katzenstein of The Times-Picayune in New Orleans said on Twitter that multiple sources were reporting Tuttle signed with them.
