The Tennessee Vols won't have quite as many players drafted in 2024 as they did in 2023 (five), but there are still a couple of UT players that should hear their named called when the 2024 NFL Draft gets underway in April.
Former Vols cornerback Kamal Hadden is one of those players.
Hadden was having a terrific season in 2023 before injuring his shoulder in Tennessee's loss to Alabama in October. The shoulder injury ended Hadden's season.
At the time, Hadden was one of the highest graded defensive backs in the nation.
The injury was incredibly unfortunate for Tennessee's secondary and for Hadden's draft stock. The Michigan native had the chance to end the season as one of the top cornerbacks in the nation.
Hadden, however, will have a chance to increase his draft stock by showing off his athleticism at the NFL scouting combine and at Tennessee's pro day later this spring.
For now, Hadden is viewed by Pro Football Network as a late round selection. The latest seven-round mock draft from Pro Football Network has Hadden going to the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round (No. 223 overall).
I'd expect Hadden's draft stock to climb with a strong performance at the combine, an event that should highlight Hadden's elite athleticism. I wouldn't bet on Hadden falling to the seventh round once the NFL draft gets underway in April.
