1. Kalif Raymond, WR

Journeyman and Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Kalif Raymond, is someone I’ve had my eye on for a few weeks. The former undrafted free agent faces an uphill battle to make the final 53-man roster, but Raymond is making the most of his opportunities.

He has earned first-team reps during training camp, and has received high praise from the Titans’ coaching staff and quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Raymond is making a considerable case for himself to make the roster, and has versatility with his ability to be a returner. The injury to fellow wideout Cameron Batson opened the door slightly, but that still might not be enough.

2. Anthony Ratliff-Williams, WR

Former North Carolina Tarheel Anthony Ratliff-Williams has the speed to be a deep threat for the Titans.

He ran an unofficial 4.46 at his pro day, and while he wasn’t overly productive in college, there’s something about him I can’t shake. His name continues to pop off the page in training camp reports.

If Ratliff-Williams can continue a strong camp, and impress in the preseason, he might sneak on the roster, similar to linebacker Sharif Finch in 2018. But again, there’s stiff competition for him to do so.
