“5 Promising Candidates Unveiled at the 2024 NFL Combine That May Capture the Attention of the Tennessee Titans”
Following six days in Indianapolis at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, coach Brian Callahan, general manager Ran Carthon, and Tennessee Titans scouts will engage in extensive discussions. Numerous players have emerged as potential fits for the organization.
While offensive tackles Joe Alt and Olu Fashanu, along with wide receiver Rome Odunze, remain potential first-round picks, the later rounds present intriguing possibilities.
Here are several players who captured attention at the NFL Scouting Combine:
1. WR Xavier Worthy, Texas:
Coach Brian Callahan and general manager Ran Carthon stressed the need to enhance speed and playmaking ability in the roster, especially through the draft. Worthy shattered the NFL Scouting Combine’s 40-yard dash record with a 4.21-second time. The Titans could benefit from a swift receiver, particularly if available in the second round.
2. OL Patrick Paul, Houston:
Although Joe Alt and Olu Fashanu are primary options for the Titans at offensive tackle, Paul emerges as a logical second-round pick if the team opts for a wide receiver in the first round. Paul, who considers himself the best pass protector in the class, also brings versatility due to his martial arts background.
3. WR Malik Washington, Virginia:
Washington’s emphasis on making an immediate impact aligns with Tennessee’s needs at the position. Graded as a “winner” of the NFL Combine by CBS Sports, Washington showcased his speed with a 4.47-second 40-yard dash and a 42.5-inch vertical jump. He excelled in moving the chains at Virginia, with 56 of his 110 receptions resulting in first downs.
4. CB Khyree Jackson, Oregon:
Although cornerback isn’t a top priority for Tennessee compared to offensive line or wide receiver, Jackson could be a suitable option if available in later draft stages. The former Oregon defensive back exudes confidence and boasts seven pass breakups and three interceptions for the Ducks last season.
5. RB/WR Tyrone Tracy Jr., Purdue:
While Tracy isn’t a prominent name on draft boards, he presents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity. With experience at both wide receiver and running back during his college career at Iowa and Purdue, Tracy could serve as a versatile asset in the Tennessee offense, offering flexibility and adaptability.
