KNOXVILLE — As the rounds and picks of the NFL draft continued to roll by Saturday afternoon, Justin Coleman began to get anxious.
The former Tennessee cornerback knew the day would end with him getting his NFL shot.
The only question, as the 2015 draft neared its end, was if the historical streak largely in his hands — through no fault of his own — would come to an end.
“Can Justin Coleman go, please?” former Tennessee defensive back and now analyst Charles Davis pleaded on NFL Network’s draft coverage before the 256th and final pick was announced.
When he didn’t, the streak was over.
