Every No. 41 overall pick in NFL draft since 2000

With the Tennessee Titans set to pick at No. 41 overall (second round) of the 2023 NFL draft, we’re taking a look back at every selection made in that spot since 2000.

On Sunday, we took a look at the history of the No. 11 overall pick since the 2000 draft and came away feeling confident that the Titans will land a good player in that spot, as the group consists of many notable names, including one Hall of Famer.

The No. 41 pick hasn’t yielded anywhere near the same results, though, but there have been some very good running backs taken there, and the Titans themselves have gotten two good players in that spot.

Without further ado, the history of the No. 41 pick.

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.
