The Titans are going to have a few new faces in the secondary this season after drafting Kristian Fulton and signing Johnathan Joseph in free agency.

Fulton in particular is going to be very important, as he’ll likely assume the role of slot cornerback that Logan Ryan played last season. The idea here is to give the Titans a little more speed at the position in order to better help defend against a team like the Chiefs that has a fast receiving corps.

That’s a pretty big responsibility for a rookie, but Fulton should be up for the challenge. Playing in the SEC, Fulton saw the highest level of competition during his college days, so he’s more pro-ready than most corners.

We already know the Titans are going to be solid on the boundary with Adoree’ Jackson and Malcolm Butler, but coverage over the middle will be key to this secondary taking that next step to being an elite unit in 2020.
