Analysis for Batson: We’re going to single out Batson here, as he’s the favorite to emerge from this group and make the initial 53-man squad thanks to having more NFL experience than the rest of the wide receivers combined.

Batson played in 11 games for the Titans in 2018 before missing the entire 2019 season. The Titans used him on offense, but also as a punt returner, which adds to his value and gives him an upper-hand to make the cut.

Head coach Mike Vrabel always preaches the importance of familiarity, and Batson has the edge in that department over his competition for one of the bottom spots on the depth chart at the position.

Analysis for the rest: As we already stated, there isn’t a lot of experience in this group overall. Aside from Batson, only Hollister and Davis have suited up in an NFL game.

Because of that, the competition to fill out the bottom of the wide receiver depth chart is going to be very unpredictable.

The Titans have some intriguing UDFAs, including Kinsey, who posted video game numbers in college, and Westbrook, who posted a big 2016 season at Indiana before missing all of the 2017 campaign and seeing limited production in the years that followed.
