With six players drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft, the contingent of former Vols in the league grew significantly. Let’s take a look at how former Tennessee stars performed during Week 5 of the NFL season.
Baltimore Ravens
Long snapper, Morgan Cox: Cox contributed to the Ravens beating the Raiders 30-17.
