The NFL has announced the full list of prospects invited to the NFL scouting combine that begins later this month and only three Tennessee Vols players are the among the 321 invites.
Quarterback Joe Milton, running back Jaylen Wright, and cornerback Kamal Hadden are the three Tennessee players that received invites to the combine.
Milton participated in the Senior Bowl earlier this month (Wright was supposed to take part in Senior Bowl activities, but he was a late withdrawal from the event).
Hadden had a terrific 2023 season for the Vols before his season came to a premature end after suffering a season-ending injury in a game against Alabama.
With only three Tennessee players receiving invites, it means there will be several notable draft-eligible Vols who will be absent from the combine when it begins in late February.
Running back Jabari Small, tight end Jacob Warren, tight end McCallan Castles, linebacker Aaron Beasley, wide receiver Ramel Keyton, and defensive lineman Roman Harrison are among the players that weren't extended invites to the combine.
Those players will get a chance to shine in front of scouts, NFL coaches, and front office personnel when Tennessee holds its annual pro day later this spring.
Not receiving an invite to the combine doesn't doom a player's chances of getting drafted, but it certainly removes a huge opportunity to make an impression in front of NFL teams.
