Tennessee Vols senior defensive lineman Tyler Baron enters the 2023 season as player that is expected to be selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Baron, a former four-star recruit from Knoxville who signed with Tennessee during the 2020 recruiting cycle, should be one of the Vols' top pass rushers this fall. 

The senior edge rusher hasn't reached his full potential yet — he has 7.5 sacks so far during his three seasons at Tennessee — but he has the upside to be a dangerous pass rusher at the next level. 

For now, Pro Football Network's latest 2024 NFL mock draft has Baron going to the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round with the No. 139 overall selection. 

Considering Baron's modest production so far during his career with the Vols, this a great projection for the 6-foot-5/260 lb edge rusher. 

If Baron takes off as a senior, it's not out of the question that he could be a day two selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.
