Cornerbacks:#42-47

Adoree Jackson, Malcolm Butler, Kristian Fulton, Johnathan Joseph, Tye Smith, Chris Jackson

The first four are locks. It’ll be interesting to see how Butler performs after an injury prematurely ended his 2019 season.

Losing Logan Ryan stings, but a combination of rookie Fulton and ex-Texan Joseph should make up for it.

Tye Smith makes the team once again due to his special teams performance, and Chris Jackson, rookie seventh-rounder out of Marshall, makes the team solely because of his potential.

This is a good group, I’m of the opinion this group will look just as good as it did last season.

Safeties: #48-52

Kevin Byard, Kenny Vaccaro, Dane Cruikshank, Amani Hooker, Joshua Kalu

Byard and Vaccaro are the unquestioned starters once again.

Cruikshank is a stud on special teams, and Hooker could see an expanded role in Nickel packages this year. Meanwhile, Joshua Kalu deserves to make the team again simply because he can do things like this.

Kevin Byard is arguably the most important player on the Titans’ defense, and if the team plans on making it back to the AFC Championship in 2020, Byard will play a big role in that.
