The Tennessee Titans had one of the better offensive lines in the league last year even with left tackle Taylor Lewan going down with an injury early in the season. Lewan should be ready to roll in 2021 but what does the rest of the position group look like after the 2021 NFL Draft?
Here are all of the offensive linemen included on the Titans’ official roster including their listed position:
- Aaron Brewer, C
- Ben Jones, C
- Daniel Munyer, C
- Roger Saffold II, G
- Nate Davis, OL
- David Quessenberry, OL
- Kendall Lamm, OT
- Paul Adams, T
- Brandon Kemp, T
- Taylor Lewan, T
- Anthony McKinney, T
- Dillon Radunz, T
- Ty Sambrailo, T
The Tennessee Titans have 13 offensive linemen on their official roster.
Out of this bunch, the most likely starters are probably Lewan at left tackle, Saffold at left guard, Jones at center, Davis at right guard, and then right tackle comes down to a camp battle between Lamm and Radunz. Parting ways with Dennis Kelly after he posted a respectable season was surprising but the Titans made sure they covered their tracks with the selection of Radunz.
The Titans spent a second-round pick on Radunz, so they obviously have faith that he can be a valuable option for them at the right tackle position. Sambrailo and Quessenberry did offer nice versatility when Lewan was injured a season ago and that should be enough to merit keeping them for this year. The Titans offense as a whole performed just fine after Lewan’s injury, though obviously, the team would have preferred to have him as the left bookend on the line.
Speaking of players stepping in and doing work when called upon, Brewer, who was signed as a UDFA out of Missouri last year, played well when Saffold also missed time due to injury. He should land as a backup for the team in 2021 due to his impressive rookie season.
The offensive line is a very important position group in the NFL and the Titans are doing their part to make sure they have a solid group protecting Ryan Tannehill. It’s also important for Tennessee to have a good o-line that’s able to create holes for Derrick Henry.
Despite the injuries last year, the Titans persevered and while their position group looks a little less impressive than it did a season ago, there’s still optimism with this unit moving forward.
