No. 3: Ja’Wuan James (OT)

Selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 19th pick (1st round) of the 2014 NFL Draft

The highest Tennessee offensive lineman drafted since the early 1990s, James did not skip a beat after a consistent college career, starting every game for the Dolphins at right tackle for his 2014 rookie season.

When healthy, it was rare to see James out of the starting lineup in Miami. In 2019, James signed a four-year, $51 million deal with the Denver Broncos to continue a successful NFL career.
