KNOXVILLE – All but one of the National Football League’s 32 teams had a representative on the Tennessee campus today as 22 former Tennessee players went through the program’s annual pro day.
Defensive back Rashaan Gaulden, running back John Kelly and defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie are leaving Tennessee after their junior seasons for the NFL draft and appear to be the most likely picks from the group who worked out today.

But there are also a handful of players who were seniors on the 2017 team not invited to the combine who hope to get a shot with an NFL franchise.
