Tennessee Football: Volunteers' Top 2016 NFL Draft Prospects

The last time a Tennessee Volunteers football player wasn't selected in the NFL draft, John F. Kennedy was president. The year was 1963.

That is, until this past week's draft when the Volunteers were shut out.

The only real chance the Vols had for anybody to get selected was nickelback Justin Coleman, who wound up signing as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings. Middle linebacker A.J. Johnson was a near shoo-in to be drafted until an ongoing sexual assault investigation.

A new streak is almost certain to begin next year.
