Titans Staff Attends Two Pro Days On Thursday
NASHVILLE - Two significant pro days took place on Thursday, as the University of Florida and Tennessee held their events where some of the top and most intriguing prospects spent time with NFL brass.
Tennessee Titans general manager spent the day on his old stomping ground in Gainsville, watching quarterback Anthony Richardson and others inside the Sanders Football Practice Fields.
Almost simultaneously, head coach Mike Vrabel spent the morning watching Daniel Wright, Jalin Hyatt, Cedric Tillman, and others show their talents inside the Volunteers Neyland-Thompson Center.
Hendon Hooker, the former Volunteers quarterback, could not participate in the on-field portion of the pro day; he was present and threw the football on the sideline. He also spent time talking with teams during the event.
While reports are slowly becoming available, it is clear that the Titans and every other NFL franchise have a significant interest in players from both programs, as both have quarterbacks who are considered top-five in this draft class.
While Richardson is in contention for the No.1 overall selection, Tennessee's Hendon Hooker is currently projected as a second-round player. However, his stock has risen; some now suggest he could go in round one.
According to sources who spoke with AllTitans Tyler Rowland on Thursday, the Titans met with Gators guar O'Cyrus Torrence and have a top-30 visit set with Richardson.
Likewise, the Titans have reportedly met with the Volunteers Wright and could be looking to get more time with Hyatt in the coming days.
According to Adam Sparks of the Knoxville New Sentinal, Vrabel spent extra time following the workout with both Wright and guard/center Jerome Cavin.
Clearly, some of these players are potential targets for the Titans, and they are doing their due diligence on all these players and more as they spend the final days leading up to the NFL Draft finalizing their draft board.
