Tennessee defensive back Rashaan Gaulden surprised some when he decided to bypass his senior season and enter the 2018 NFL draft, but one respected draft analyst is a big fan.
“Rashaan Gaulden is a day one starting nickel in the league,” NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout, tweeted Monday night.
Rashaan Gaulden is a day one starting nickel in the league. Love his combination of toughness/quickness/awareness. #Vols

Gaulden will get a chance to further make his case at the NFL Scouting Combine, which begins Tuesday.
