Decision day for the Tennessee Titans might come sooner than many expect with the 2025 NFL Draft seven weeks away.
Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said at the NFL Scouting Combine he is fielding calls about trading the No. 1 pick, but the franchise is not willing to pass on any prospect they rate as a 'generational talent.'
Part of their process in evaluating that distinction is continued face time with top-ranked prospects, including Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter, Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter and two quarterbacks: Cam Ward of Miami and Shedeur Sanders of Colorado. All four met last week with the Titans in Indianapolis, when teams are permitted 15-minute interviews during the NFL Scouting Combine, and are scheduled to visit the Titans' team facility this month.
Carter will be the first to visit with a scheduled session on Thursday, NFL Network reported. Carter did not work out at the combine last week and team doctors might have more questions about shoulder and foot injuries.
If the Titans rank all four prospects with a similar grade, they could opt to slide back a few spots to be in position to guarantee getting one of the players in the 'blue-chip' grading area while accumulating additional picks. Since making a change at general manager, the Titans have repeated that their focus is to attain 'as many top 100 picks as possible.'
Hunter was described as a 'special' talent by Borgonzi, who stopped short of the 'generational talent' label for the Heisman Trophy winner.
Tennessee indicated it will hold onto incumbent starting quarterback Will Levis for now, but clearly the position has been underscored as a need by the new personnel staff.
Ward and Sanders met with the Titans but did not work out with quarterbacks at the combine.
