Coaching Matters: 2021 Tennessee Titans Coaching Staff Preview

Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft - Tight End
This wasn’t a particularly strong draft class at the tight end. Out of 259 prospects drafted in the 2021 NFL draft, just 11 of them play the tight end position.

Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft - Wide Receivers
The NFL Draft has come and gone, so we now have a complete picture of each team's plans on offense. While we'll still see some player movement before the season begins, aside from an Aaron Rodgers or Zach Ertz trade, there won't be anything that really moves the needle. There were some surprising decisions in the draft where […]
Early 2021 Running Back Sleepers
Even with the NFL being a passing league these days, running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football. You cannot win a fantasy football league without a decent pair of high-caliber running backs, and many times you need three above-average backs to win thanks to injuries, bye weeks, COVID outbreaks, and because you can […]
Rashad Weaver Charged With Assault In April
Tennessee Titans rookie defensive end Rashad Weaver, the team's fourth-round pick last Saturday, was charged last Friday with one count of simple assault in connection with an incident in April in Pittsburgh.

They Took Who??? The Most Confusing NFL Draft Picks
Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward.

Titans Take LSU Receiver Racey McMath
With the 205th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected LSU wide receiver Racey McMath.

With the 109th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected Louisville wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick.

The Tennessee Titans selected Washington cornerback Elijah Molden with the No. 100 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Titans Go With Monty Rice Late In Third Round
The Tennessee Titans selected Georgia linebacker Monty Rice with the No. 92 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Titans Select Tackle Dillon Radunz
With the 53rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected North Dakota State offensive tackle Dillon Radunz. Coming from the FCS level, Radunz will have a lot of work to do to adjust to the size of NFL pass rushers, but he's a tough player who should be able to crack […]
