Gridiron Grind: Titans’ Rising Stars Get Extra Serious About Scoring Big

Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporter is on the road covering training camps, and today’s stop is the Tennessee Titans.

About the QB

Will Levis, the Titans’ new quarterback, made a strong impression on the coaching staff by introducing himself and shaking hands with each member. While his on-field performance is crucial, his leadership skills are already evident.

Rookie to Watch

Defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat is an intimidating presence on the field, and his pairing with Jeffery Simmons could be devastating for opposing interior offensive lines. However, Sweat’s conditioning will be crucial to his success.

Keeping My Eye On

Third-year wide receiver Treylon Burks has reported to camp at his lowest weight since being drafted and has shown a renewed focus on his approach and conditioning. With DeAndre Hopkins sidelined, Burks has a prime opportunity to prove himself.

Fantasy Thought

The Titans’ running back situation is unclear, with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears sharing similar skill sets. It’s likely to be a hot-hand approach, with both players getting plenty of opportunities.

What I Saw That Was Interesting

New head coach Brian Callahan ran a well-structured practice on Sunday, with a consistent tempo and spirited competition between the offense and defense. It was a refreshing change from the typical camp practices.

Wild Card

Rookie left tackle JC Latham is impressing with his polish and technique, which he honed during an offseason training session with San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams. If Latham can solidify his position, the Titans’ offensive line will take a significant step forward.
