Throughout the course of the offseason, it’s important to keep an eye on what the Tennessee Titans’ rivals in the AFC South are doing, so we’re going to be regularly checking in on important headlines from their divisional foes.
Here’s a few stories of note from the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts.
Jaguars Wire: C.J. Henderson impresses Chad Johnson
Jaguars first-round pick, cornerback C.J. Henderson, has made quite the impression on former NFL wide receiver, Chad Johnson, after the two worked out together recently.
Johnson had this so say on Twitter about the No. 9 overall pick.
May God be with the Jaguar receivers that have to deal with @HendersonChris_, that mother [expletive] is nice in bump-n-run, even with the small sample size of work today i now understand why he was taken at 9🔒
The Titans will get their first look at the Jags’ new corner in Week 2 in Nashville.
Texans Wire: Houston OC talks versatility with RBs
Texans offensive coordinator, Tim Kelly, who is the brother of Titans right tackle Dennis Kelly, gave some insight into how Duke Johnson and the newest Texan, David Johnson, open up the play-calling for the team’s offense.
“I think it opens up the play calling, obviously,” Kelly told reporters on May 20. “You’re not limited by a guy’s ability to only run the ball or only catch the ball. When you have guys that are versatile and are both a vital running threat and a good receiving threat, it allows you to open up and be creative and find different ways to get guys the ball in space and do some good things.”
Of course, Johnson was acquired in the trade that sent DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals, which is a trade the Titans were definitely thrilled to see, as Hopkins owned Tennessee during his Texans tenure.
Colts Wire: Titans with third-best offense Indy will face in 2020
Kevin Hickey of Colts Wire believes the Titans own the third-best offense Indy will face during the 2020 season, and he names Derrick Henry the team’s best offensive skill player.
This places the Titans behind the Baltimore Ravens (No. 1) and the Green Bay Packers (No. 2) on the Colts’ schedule. It’s hard to argue with that ranking. The Texans come in at No. 7, while the Jags land in dead-last.
