Tennessee

Titans

Lynch, 26, is a former fourth round selection by the Vikings and will return for a second season with the Titans after starting all 17 games in 2024. He had 20 tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack for Tennessee last season. Pro Football Focus graded the Titans as last year’s fourth worst pass rush and ninth best run-defending unit.

Citing prior conversations he had with Titans head coach Brian Callahan, Wolfe adds that the Titans “have already talked about getting the ball, on screen routes, to Calvin Ridley” and regularly incorporating running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears in the passing game. Dialing up layup targets for Ridley would be great for his fantasy value and Ward’s. Ridley was targeted 16.0 yards downfield on average last year, and he was targeted in the screen game just eight times. Employing a diverse passing game playbook will also help keep defenses honest, which should ultimately aid Ward’s downfield passing as well.

While Callahan did not explicitly state that Ward is the Week 1 starter, he is already qualifying his statements on the matter. Unless something goes terribly awry, Ward should be under center for much of training camp, and ostensibly, when Week 1 kicks off. As far as backups go, the Titans could do worse than having Levis in the No. 2 spot.

This is a vote of confidence for Ayomanor, who could have been considered simply a jump-ball specialist. While his long-term role is far from guaranteed, Ayomanor is at least being considered as the 30-year-old Calvin Ridley’s potential replacement. Ayomanor enters the 2025 season as a worthwhile dynasty pick and a player to monitor as training camp progresses. He is unlikely to be relevant in re-draft leagues this year, though.

This news comes as a surprise to nobody. While it’s worth noting that nothing has been made official at this time, Burks’ time with the Titans has been filled with disappointing production across 27 games (53-699-1) and injuries. Burks is still rehabbing a torn ACL he suffered in Week 5 last season. The former No. 18 overall pick is entering a legitimate prove-it year, but may struggled to see the field even if healthy. In addition to competing with Calvin Ridley, Burks will also be going up against veteran Van Jefferson and rookie receivers Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, who the Titans used fourth-round picks on last weekend.

Cam Horsley (6’3/312) enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a battle-tested, high-floor interior defender with four years of starting experience at Boston College. A stout lineman with a strong 8.54 RAS, Horsley flashes quickness off the snap (5.04s 40-yard dash, 1.73s 10-yard split) and vertical pop (31.5-inch jump) but makes his money as a gap-plugger with violent hands and a low center of gravity. He consistently held the point of attack in the Eagles’ 4-3 front, tallying 42 tackles and seven TFLs in 2024 while earning All-ACC honors. Horsley thrives with heavy strikes, anchor strength, and short-area agility, but his pass-rush arsenal remains underdeveloped. His pad level can rise late, allowing blockers to redirect him, and he can be sealed when trying to shoot gaps. Still, his durability, hand strength, and physicality make him a rock-solid rotational nose or one-tech prospect.

Crenshaw-Dickson (6’7/316) spent four seasons at San Diego State, shuttling between LT and RT before moving across the country to Florida for his final year. He handled SEC competition well as the Gators’ starting RT, allowing just one sack and zero quarterback hits with an 82nd percentile pass block grade. While experienced having started 46 collegiate games, Crenshaw-Dickson is very limited athletically, having posted sub-25th percentile agility and jumping tests in addition to 15 bench reps, which is a 9th-percentile mark for a troubling 2.51 Relative Athletic Score. Though he’s strong at the point of attack and uses his hands well to control defenders, Crenshaw-Dickson’s lack of coordination and agility limits his utility from an NFL standpoint.

Restrepo (5’10/209) spent all five years of his collegiate career at Miami. He made a name for himself as a high-volume slot receiver in his final two seasons, hitting 1,092 yards in 2023 and upping the ante with 1,127 yards while catching passes from Cam Ward in 2024. Restrepo is a physical slot receiver who isn’t afraid to corral passes in traffic over the middle of the field. He ran over 90 percent of his career routes from the slot and likely doesn’t have the necessary athleticism to win on the outside in the NFL. Restrepo did not test at the NFL Scouting Combine but ran at Miami’s Pro Day, clocking a time that was, at best, considered in the 4.7s, with some scouts having it much slower. He later took to social media to say his hamstring tightened in warmups. While the ceiling may be limited, Restrepo could develop into a useful WR3 for an NFL team.

He will join Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears in the Tennessee backfield. Mullings (6’2/226) spent his first three years as a linebacker for Michigan, but converted to running back for the 2023 season. In his two full seasons as a running back, Mullings rushed 221 times for 1,170 yards and 13 touchdowns, averaging a solid 5.3 YPC and 3.65 yards after contact per rush. Mullings impressed enough coaches in 2024 to eventually surpass incumbent starter Donovan Edwards on the depth chart, putting up more carries, yards, and touchdowns than the College Football 25 cover boy despite appearing in the same number of games. Mullings’ limited experience as a running back will likely be exposed early in his career. In addition to his limited number of carries in his career (235), Mullings has just eight career receptions, and he has a lot of work to put in as a pass blocker. That said, his size will make him a force to be reckoned with in camp.
