Which camp try out players have a long shot at making the Tennessee Titans roster.
UDFA is the wild west and once the dust settled the Tennessee Titans ended up with 13 signed free agents.
I covered the biggest of those names already, but what we haven’t talked about is the 30 try out players that they added after those 13 to fill out the roster.
You never want to be a try out player, but there are plenty that make rosters from this list. Look no further than Titans CB Malcolm Butler who was a tryout player himself before landing on the New England Patriots roster.
He is far from the normal, but success stories are everywhere around the NFL. Could the Titans have one this year?
Before I get into that, take a look at the try out player “class” as it were.

I broke that down by position, but even so it is a lot to take in. So, do any of these players stand out? Well, I looked at Dane Brugler’s draft guide to see if any names stuck out.
After looking at that list only one rookie this year was graded as a preferred UDFA (meaning they should be in that first wave of UDFAs) and that was…Chris Wilkerson the long snapper from SFA.
Now, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t some talented sleepers on this list.
Beniquez Brown is a fourth year man out of Mississippi State, but when he was draft eligible he was graded as a 7th rounder with his distinguishing trait being his physical tackling.
Maybe more notably than that, he was 2nd in the AAF in tackling with the Birmingham Iron, who were probably the best defensive team in that league.
While the league may have folded, his efforts there may give him the best chance at a roster spot out of this group.
Out of all of the players on this list, I believe the highest graded in the predraft process was Sam Rogers. Brugler gave him a 5th round grade back in 2017.
Rogers was a do-it-all guy for Virginia Tech and was a walk-on who earned his scholarship. He has bounced around the NFL for a while, so while I don’t see him making the roster he was probably the most notable guy on that list if you are looking at pure predraft evaluation.

Jacques Patrick was the RB3 in recruiting rankings when he committed to Florida State. He always seemed to be pretty productive as a change of pace player, but never cracked the lineup because of the top-end talent in front of him.
At 6’2, 235 he may be the closest player physically to Derrick Henry on the Titans roster. He is a decent receiver and has been used in different ways over his career, so there may be a chance for him to make the practice squad and develop.
Cody Hollister is another play who isn’t a rookie after spending two years in New England, but he is an interesting name. This is someone that HC Mike Vrabel and GM Jon Robinson should have some connection to, and it will be interesting to see why they brought him into camp.
