Every No. 11 overall pick in NFL draft since 2000

With the Tennessee Titans owning the No. 11 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at the history of selections in that specific draft spot.

Tennessee has picked from No. 11 overall before, with the last time being in 2014 when the team chose Taylor Lewan out of Michigan to be its franchise left tackle.

The selection paid dividends, as Lewan helped give the franchise personality and attitude, while also proving to be one of the better left tackles in the NFL before running into some injury issues at the tail end of his tenure.

Now, a look at Lewan and the rest of the No. 11 overall picks in the NFL draft, dating back to 2000.

Note: An asterisk denotes at least one Pro Bowl appearance, a plus sign denotes at least one All-Pro nod, and “HOF” means the player has been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
