When the Tennessee Titans drafted safety Brady Breeze in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft (No. 215 overall), the common response among fans and media was, “who?”
Putting his awesome name aside for a second, Breeze wasn’t on the radar of many out there, and the fact that he’s a safety when the team didn’t really need another added to the confusion of the pick.
But the more we learned about Breeze and his aggressive, hard-hitting style, the more we like him and understand where the Titans were going with the selection.
Not only does he give maximum effort and play like his hair is on fire on every snap, he also excels on special teams, where he was an ace at Oregon.
While we think he has some traits that could lead to him making an impact on defense down the line, it’s clear from pre-draft scouting reports that experts viewed Breeze as a core special teamer more than anything else.
