Here’s an updated list of University of Tennessee players in the National Football League, with stats from last week, entering week 4 of the 2019 NFL preseason. I’ve also included some notes, jersey numbers, unofficial depth chart positions, breakdowns by position and much more.
You will also see the list of players that were at UT at one time before transferring and others that have local ties to the Knoxville area that did not attend the University of Tennessee.
NFL rosters are expanded right now and can be kept at up to 90 players until final preseason cuts August 31.
I’ll update this list throughout the year here on my blog “Vince’s View.” Bookmark my blog page and check back often.
