Summary

The Tennessee Titans drafted Gunnar Helm in the fourth round out of Texas and he could come in right away and get the most snaps at tight end in his first season. That doesn't mean that Chig Okonkwo won't also be a major factor at the position, but who takes the starting tight end spot will ultimately come down to how Brian Callahan chooses to deploy the role. Josh Whyle has now become an afterthought and that leaves him on the roster bubble with hungrier guys behind him like David Martin-Robinson and Thomas Odukoya. Finally, Tony Pollard is the clear top running back for the Titans, but after a great 2024 campaign, Pollard deserves a little more love locally and nationally.
