Tennessee football: Vols edge Darrell Taylor may be NFL Draft first-rounder

Who saw this coming? As the splash playmaker for Tennessee football over the past two years, there was the potential for Darrell Taylor to have the highest NFL Draft stock of any Vols player in this 2020 class.

However, after missing the combine due to injury and revealing that he played all of last year banged up, it just didn’t seem like he would be a surefire bet. Over the last two weeks, though, for some reason, his stock has been rising rapidly.

Now, Taylor is firmly a third-rounder at least by most projections. On the day of the NFL Draft, though, one analyst even upped his expectations for Tennessee football’s edge rusher.
