The Tennessee Titans have a pre-draft visit scheduled with Florida cornerback, CJ Henderson.
Henderson relayed the information during an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio with Alex Marvez and Gil Brandt.
.@GatorsFB CB @HendersonChris_ told @Gil_Brandt & me on @SiriusXMNFL that he has a pre-draft visit set with the @Titans & likely will be meeting with the @dallascowboys as well. He plans on doing the short shuttle & a few other drills at UF's Pro Day later this month

Henderson has been long thought of as a first-round talent in this year’s draft, and his strong showing at the 2020 NFL Combine only solidified that fact.
However, if the Titans want to nab the 6-foot-1, 202-pound corner they’re going to have to move up, as Henderson is likely to be long gone by the No. 29 pick in the first round.
Cornerback is one of the positions the Titans will be targeting this offseason, and the draft will be one avenue to fill that need.
Veteran corner Logan Ryan is a free agent this offseason and could be moving on, and fellow corner Malcolm Butler could become a cap casualty this offseason or next.
Luckily for Tennessee, this year’s class is pretty deep at the position and general manager Jon Robinson could come away with a solid young cornerback.
Henderson is just one of about a handful of corners the Titans have met with. From reports we’ve seen, there were six other players at the position that the Titans had meetings with at the combine.
- Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
- Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
- Darnay Homes, CB, UCLA
- Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU
- Dane Jackson, CB, Pitt
- Kindle Vildor, CB, Georgia Southern
Aside from cornerback, Tennessee could also address their need at offensive tackle or EDGE with the No. 29 overall selection. The Titans also need a running back, but that will likely come later in the draft.
