Our next training camp preview for the Tennessee Titans comes at tight end, a position that holds one of the team’s most promising young players, Chigoziem Okonkwo.
In a sea of disaster on offense in 2022, Chig was one of the few life rafts the team could cling to. Okonkwo finished the campaign with 450 yards, leading all rookie tight ends, and he tallied three scores while also proving to be one of the most explosive players at his position in the entire NFL.
Making Chig’s final numbers more impressive was the fact that former offensive coordinator Todd Downing seemed to not know his talented young tight end existed over much of the first half of the season, with Okonkwo being targeted just eight times over the first seven games.
If new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly wants to get in the good graces of Titans fans quickly, he has to do one simple thing: FEED CHIG!
While the spotlight is on Chig, who is expected to be a vital piece to the offense, other tight ends do exist in Nashville, one of which was a 2023 draft pick.
Here’s a look at the roster locks, players on the bubble, the competitions set to take place and a prediction for how things will shake out at tight end.
