Who will win Titans’ No. 2 RB job?

The Titans offense has undergone various modifications this offseason, however the unit’s catalyst will as soon as once more be in place for the beginning of the upcoming season. Derrick Henry is poised to deal with a heavy workload as all the time, however there’s a lot to be sorted out relating to the remainder of the place’s depth chart.

In a breakdown of the unit heading into training camp, Jim Wyatt of the team’s website details the various strikes Tennessee has made in current months, together with re-signing veterans Jordan Wilkins and Dontrell Hilliard. The latter confirmed promise whereas filling in for Henry after his midseason harm final 12 months. Hilliard registered the primary 5 begins of his profession late in 2021 and averaged a formidable 6.3 yards per carry. His success (albeit in a restricted capability) earned the previous UDFA another deal with the Titans.

Whereas Hilliard may very well be in line for the principle backup position left open by the departure of D’Onta Foreman, he might be going through competitors from a number of different backs for enjoying time. Outdoors of Wilkins and free-agent addition Trenton Cannon, that might come most from Hassan Haskins. The fourth-rounder raised his draft inventory with a stellar 2021 marketing campaign at Michigan, through which he led the Huge Ten in carries and complete touchdowns, rating second within the convention with 1,327 dashing yards. Given his standing as a rookie, and the position he performed in serving to the Wolverines to the CFB playoffs, Haskins’ spot on the roster in some capability is probably going safe.

Because of this, Wyatt notes, Hilliard, Wilkins and Cannon may discover themselves competing over one spot on the 53-man roster. The presence of fullback Tory Carter and the truth that Henry, when wholesome, will function as a workhorse limits the trail every has to a full-time spot. Given the query marks at present surrounding the Titans’ pass-catching corps, nonetheless, the best way the RB depth chart shakes out in camp might be important.
