The NFL Combine is underway in Indianapolis (Ind.) and several former Tennessee Volunteer standouts are set to compete over the nest few days. Volquest will share live updates as participants work through the combine. Tennessee is currently coming off of an 11-2 season which culminated with a victory in the Orange Bowl over Clemson, all of which the players participating this week at the combine played a vital role in that success.

Byron Young and Darnell Wright have already saw their stock increase this off-season, as they both had a strong week in front of scouts in Mobile (Ala.). Hendon Hooker was also invited to the event and spoke with teams throughout the week, so this will serve as a second opportunity for those guys to continue to climb boards. For Banks, Tillman, Hyatt and Brooks, this week will serve as a crucial part of their draft process.
