Justin Coleman Looks to Keep Vols Draft Streak Alive
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee’s streak of at least one player selected in every NFL draft for the past half century could end this year.
Cornerback Justin Coleman is the Volunteers’ top pro prospect, and he is a projected late-round pick.
Coleman says "it would always be an honor if I was the one to continue that streak and get drafted."
The only schools with longer streaks of having at least one player drafted each year are Notre Dame, Michigan, Southern California, Michigan State, Florida and Nebraska, according to STATS LLC.
Tennessee’s top senior for most of last season was linebacker A.J. Johnson, who was suspended in November and indicted last month on aggravated rape charges.
