Tennessee added five players to the NFL through the draft this spring with one first-round pick and four third-round picks.
The Chicago Bears selected OT Darnell Wright while the Detroit Lions picked up QB Hendon Hooker. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt went to the New York Giants, WR Cedric Tillman landed with the Browns, and EDGE rusher Byron Young is with the Los Angeles Rams.
Wright will wear No. 58, Hooker will wear No. 12, Hyatt will wear No. 84, Tillman will wear No. 89, and Byron Young will wear No. 0 with the Rams.
After just about a month with their new teams, three of Tennessee’s former players participated in the NFL rookie photoshoots over the weekend. Here’s a look at some of Tennessee’s former superstars with their new teams in the NFL.
