Tennessee

CB Justin Coleman, SR #27 (5’10 | 190 | 4.53)

Scouting report – Three year starter for the Vols who has played both outside and in the slot, which will most likely be his position in the pros. Coleman is fluid in coverage, shows good football instincts, and is a willing tackler against the run. The knocks on Coleman are his average measureables and lack of ball skills. Coleman could push for a starting job in the slot and contribute on special teams. Good value on day 3.

Projection: 5th-6th round

SS Brian Randolph, JR #37 (6’0 | 197 | 4.58)

Scouting report – Under-rated safety prospect who has good range, ball skills, and an aggressive demeanor in run defense. Randolph diagnoses plays quickly, takes good angles to the ball and is a reliable tackler. I didn’t see the Vols much this season, but when I did Randolph was the best player on the defensive side of the ball.

Projection: 5th-6th

* SR ILB A.J. Johnson is a mid-round prospect, but has been suspended from the team for an off-field incident.
