Tennessee Football hosted its annual Pro Day event on Tuesday, giving 14 former Volunteer players the chance to showcase their skills in front of NFL coaches and scouts. The biggest storyline was the performance of cornerback Jermod McCoy, who missed the entire 2025 season with an ACL injury and opted to save his on-field work for this pro day event.

Why it matters

Pro Day is a crucial event for college players looking to make the jump to the NFL, as it allows them to directly display their abilities to professional teams. McCoy's workout could significantly impact his draft position, potentially moving him up or down from early projections.

The details

The 14 former Tennessee players participating in Pro Day were: QB Joey Aguilar, DL Dominic Bailey, WR Chris Brazzell II, DL Bryson Eason, CB Colton Hood, EDGE Joshua Josephs, TE Miles Kitselman, CB Jermod McCoy, DB Jalen McMurray, DL Jaxson Moi, RB Star Thomas, S Andre Turrentine, DL Tyre West, and DB William Wright. The event featured standard drills like the 40-yard dash as well as position-specific workouts.
