Keeping the streak alive? Justin Coleman projected to get drafted in the fifth round
Tennessee's football team has had at least one player drafted in every NFL Draft since 1964. That streak appeared to be coming to an end following A.J. Johnson's suspension from the team and subsequently being taken off the NFL's radar.
Then came the NFL Combine, where Coleman clocked the fastest three-cone drill time, and was among the leading runners in both the 20-yard and 60-yard shuttle runs.

Now NFL.com has Coleman projected to go in the fifth round to the Indianapolis Colts.
Stay tuned to see if Coleman can extend the Vols' streak and begin his own NFL chapter next weekend during the 2015 NFL Draft.
