Although they might be light on the NFL Draft this year, Tennessee football had a player from its glory days trotted out for the event on Friday in light of it being in Nashville. That player was Al Wilson, the key member of the 1998 national championship team who became a star in the pros.

A five-time Pro Bowler and top 5 legend in UT history, Wilson played for the Denver Broncos from 1999 to 2006 coming off the Vols’ national championship. He announced both Denver Broncos’ picks in the second round.

The first pick was tackle Dalton Risner of the Kansas State Wildcats, and the second was quarterback Drew Lock of the Missouri Tigers.
