After the Tennessee Titans took Isaiah Wilson with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the team’s players took to social media to welcome the offensive tackle out of Georgia, who is their newest teammate.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill rolled out the welcome mat for the guy who could be protecting him on the right side in the near future.
Welcome to the squad @_LayZay_ 🙌🏼⚔️ #TitanUp

Left tackle Taylor Lewan let Wilson know he was joining a tight-knit group of offensive lineman in Tennessee.

Now comes the interesting part in all this, as general manager Jon Robinson revealed Wilson would be competing for a starting job at right tackle with Dennis Kelly, who the team just re-signed to a three-year deal this offseason.
It was initially thought that Kelly was likely a lock to be the starter in 2020, but clearly that is no longer the case and we’re going to see a full-blown competition in training camp.
Let the games begin!
