The Tennessee Titans have their key pieces intact on offense and playmakers on defense who are set to have a big year in 2020, but there are still needs to address in the upcoming NFL Draft.
The Titans will be looking to add an edge rusher, and an in-state option could be Darrell Taylor, who played his college ball at Tennessee and has drawn interest from the Titans.
Taylor had formal interviews with nine teams at the combine, naming the division rival Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers among them.
“I just went down to Nashville to meet with the Titans,” he told Justin Melo of Draft Wire. “It was a great visit. I’m excited about it. That was literally yesterday (March 5th). I met with everybody on their staff. That was pretty cool. I enjoyed being back in Nashville. I’m not working out for anybody right now though. I’m just focused on my recovery but I had a great meeting with the Titans.”
He’s recorded 16.5 sacks over the past two seasons with the Vols and finished tied for second in the SEC with 8.5 sacks last year, while playing through a stress fracture in his shin.
The edge rusher underwent surgery in January, causing him to be sidelined for the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.
Taylor is largely projected to be a third-round pick.
