5 Tennessee Titans Who Must Step Up During OTAs

Marcus mariota Titans — The Tennessee Titans begin OTAs in just a few days with multiple starting and back-up positions still up for grabs. Several off-season additions have a chance to steal a starting job from players who held that position last season. Here are five Titans players who must step up in OTAs if they are to have a great 2015 NFL season.

The Tennessee Titans begin OTAs in just a few days with multiple starting and back-up positions still up for grabs. Several off-season additions have a chance to steal a starting job from players who held that position last season. Here are five Titans players who must step up in OTAs if they are to have a great 2015 NFL season.

No. 5 Marqueston Huff

No. 5 Marqueston Huff

Huff performed well at times last season, but also showed that he had major room for improvement. With defensive back depth being a major remaining problem for the Titans, a good performance from Huff could not only solidify his place on this Tennessee squad, but turn into consistent playing time throughout the season.

No. 4 Derrick Morgan

No. 4 Derrick Morgan

Morgan decided to stay in Tennessee to “finish what he started” but is now a part of a very dangerous group of linebackers. Morgan needs to show that he can hang with Brian Orakpo, Wesley Woodyard, Avery Williamson and the returning Zach Brown, as well as prove to both the fans and franchise that he was worth the money.

No. 3 Blidi Wreh-Wilson

No. 3 Blidi Wreh-Wilson

Cornerback is a particularly weak position for the Titans this season. Wreh-Wilson showed flashes of being a capable starter, but he needs to work out some kinks in his play.

No. 2 Justin Hunter

No. 2 Justin Hunter

Hakeem Nicks, Tre McBride, Harry Douglas and Dorial Green-Beckham were all added to the Titans’ wide receiving corps this season. Hunter will be competing to retain his starting spot, for playing time and to prove his naysayers wrong.

No. 1 Bishop Sankey

No. 1 Bishop Sankey

Sankey has the most to prove in OTAs out of all the Tennessee players. Last year’s second round selection, Sankey seems to be an afterthought to Ken Whisenhunt’s scheme after little utilization last season. The selection of David Cobb in the 2015 NFL Draft could spell the end for Sankey’s playing time, unless he shows out in OTAs.
