The Tennessee Titans added to their tight ends room during the 2023 NFL draft when they selected Josh Whyle out of Cincinnati in the fifth round.
Whyle, who is a plus pass-catcher and improving blocker, figures to slot in behind Chigoziem Okonkwo and Trevon Wesco on the depth chart to start.
Whyle could conceivably work his way up to No. 2 in his first year, but that will likely be determined by how well he shows out as a blocker.
When asked what he was better at, Whyle pointed to his abilities as a pass-catcher (he transitioned from receiver to tight end in high school) but noted he’s improved in the other aspect of his game.
“I think naturally pass-catcher just because I grew up a wide receiver,” he said. “I transitioned to wide receiver halfway through high school. Especially this last year of college, I think I really improved inside the box blocking, technique and foot work. So, if that answers your question, definitely pass blocking, but I have improved a lot.”
So, how did draft experts view Whyle when it comes to his blocking and pass-catching? Find out now as we take a tour of scouting reports about Tennessee’s newest tight end.
