Wide receivers (6): Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, A.J. Brown, Darius Jennings, Tajae Sharpe, Kalif Raymond
Corey Davis is really good at football and I have explained countless times that if the Titans had an offense with any sort of volume in the passing game, Davis would have had 1,000 yards easily last year.
Adam Humphries has looked sure handed for the most part and while there is some criticism on him after the drop vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, one drop in heavy rain shouldn’t derail an offseason of positive reviews.
A.J. Brown is a second round pick which would have been enough, but clips of him “Mossing” New England DBs and some flashes here and there should have fans quietly optimistic that he will be a factor by the middle of the season.
Darius Jennings is a star special teams player who can return as well as anyone else in the NFL while also having the aggression and skill to cover a punt and make a tackle. Guys like him allow you to keep specialists on the team and the Titans shouldn’t let a guy like that go.
Those four are the absolute locks, but then it comes down to Tajae Sharpe, Taywan Taylor and Kalif Raymond for the last two jobs.
Kalif Raymond is the surprise name I will pick, not because he has looked exceptional but because he has played significant special teams reps this preseason which is what separated Deontay Burnett and Cameron Batson when all was said and done in 2018.
Tajae Sharpe is the last guy to make the list and he is trending downward. He isn’t doing anything wrong, but I could have stopped that comment after the word “anything” and it would have been equally true. After being sold a new and improved Tajae Sharpe in camp, we haven’t even seen him targeted.
I believe that Taywan Taylor will make the roster if they can’t find a trade partner for him. However, I think that deal gets done and he is moved to a team that can give him a better opportunity which is why he doesn’t make this list.
