Titans training camp: 1 rookie to watch at each defensive position

Shaun Calderon names one rookie to watch at each position on defense for the Titans going into training camp, a list that includes all undrafted free agents.

After going over the Titans’ offensive rookies on Monday, today we take a closer look at which defensive rookies to keep an eye on as training camp rapidly approaches.

The Titans’ defense looks very strong on paper, in particular when it comes to the top of the depth chart. Tennessee has a good mix of established playmakers and young talent all across the board.

However, to say the depth at several positions is questionable at best would be drastically underselling it.

As we noted in the offensive article earlier this week, the Titans used all of their draft picks on offense, which means this article is going to revolve around undrafted free agents who are looking to make a name for themselves.

Believe it or not, there are some very intriguing players on this list despite their status as undrafted free agents, so let’s not wait any longer and dive right into it.

What scouting reports said about Titans UDFA CB Steven Jones Jr.

A look at what scouting reports said about Tennessee Titans UDFA cornerback, Steven Jones Jr.

Appalachian State product and cornerback Steven Jones Jr. was one of the 14 undrafted free agents the Tennessee Titans signed in the wake of the 2023 NFL draft.

Jones appeared in 45 games over five years with the Mountaineers, totaling 125 tackles (8.5 for loss), six interceptions, 27 passes defensed and one sack during his time there.

The 24-year-old enters what is a crowded situation that is full of question marks at cornerback, a position that figures to have four roster locks in Kristian Fulton, Roger McCreary, Sean Murphy-Bunting and Elijah Molden.

Jones will be competing against guys like Caleb Farley and Tre Avery for one of the depth spots behind those four, but if all else fails he’ll have a shot at the practice squad, which could prove fruitful given the injury histories of some of the aforementioned players.

In order to get more information on the Appalachian State product, we’ve rounded up some scouting reports to see what analysts had to say about Tennessee’s rookie cornerback.
