Undrafted Offensive Tackle John Ojukwu Could Add To Titans Depth
NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Titans added two offensive tackles Peter Skoronski, and Jaelyn Duncan, to their roster in last week's NFL Draft. But, it could still stand to add more quality depth behind the five who eventually win starting roles.
Former Boise State Broncos left tackle John Ojukwu could be one of those players, as the undrafted rookie free agent will soon get his chance to show his wares to the head coach Mike Vrabel, and the offensive staff after signing with the Titans following the draft.
As for Ojukwu, he checks all the boxes physically for an offensive tackle in the NFL. At 6-foot-6 and 309 pounds, he possesses long arms, measured at 34" along with 26 reps on the bench press, showing his strength.
Athletically, he posted a 5.24 forty, along with a 28.5" vertical and 8'8" broad jump. All solid marks for a man Ojukwu's size.
He was the 18th-ranked tackle on Tony Pauline’s Big Board and the No. 302-ranked player overall entering the draft.
While not as highly ranked as others, Ojukwu proved his worth as a durable stalwart for the Broncos, starting 51 games during his five-year career in Boise.
While still raw in some areas and already 24 years old, Ojukwu is considered to have a limited ceiling and would be used as a backup or swing tackle moving forward.
That aside, he is considered a smart, hard-working, physical blocker with a nasty attitude who has outstanding awareness and is a finisher; Ojukwu will get his chance to correct his deficiencies during camp and possibly find a place with the Titans in some role in 2023.
