For most of the season, ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper's 2024 NFL Draft rankings haven't included a single Tennessee Vols player.
But that changed this week with Kiper's latest draft rankings.
The longtime draft analyst included Vols quarterback Joe Milton and tight end McCallan Castles in his updated rankings.
Kiper has Milton as his No. 10 overall quarterback. And he has Castles as his No. 9 fullback/halfback.
Milton had a good-but-not-great final season for the Vols. His size and athleticism combined with his impressive arm strength, however, will likely intrigue NFL teams.
Castles, meanwhile, improved greatly in run blocking during his lone season with the Vols.
Notably absent from Kiper's list is Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright, who declared for the 2024 NFL Draft after rushing for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while splitting carries with Jabari Small and Dylan Sampson.
The 2024 NFL Draft will take place from April 25 to April 27 in Detroit.
