3 standouts from Titans' first padded training camp practice

Caleb Farley, CB

Former first-round cornerback Caleb Farley entered training camp firmly on the roster bubble. Farley desperately needs to string together good reps and practices if he's to salvage his 53-man roster spot. On Tuesday, the former Virginia Tech standout put forth this outstanding rep versus DeAndre Hopkins, staying in his hip pocket to record a pass breakup.

Farley also stuck with Treylon Burks during his very next one-versus-one rep.

The Titans are stacked at cornerback with L'Jarius Sneed, Chido Awuzie, and Roger McCreary set to start in nickel personnel. Farley is battling for the remaining spots at cornerback alongside a slew of cornerbacks including rookie Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Tay Gowan, standout UDFA Gabe Jeudy-Lally, Tre Avery, Eric Garror, and others.

Consistently playing shutdown coverage on a receiver of Hopkins' caliber with the pads on would increase Farley's chances.

Matthew Jackson, DB

Matthew Jackson is a second-year safety that primarily played special teams last season. He was an undrafted free agent that defied the odds by making the initial 53-man roster. He's attempting to secure a spot at safety behind Amani Hooker, Jamal Adams, and Elijah Molden.

An Eastern Kentucky alum, Jackson enjoyed an eye-popping practice on Tuesday. He intercepted starting quarterback Will Levis during 7-on-7 drills on a pass intended for sophomore tight end Josh Whyle. Jackson later recorded his second interception of the morning, this time on backup QB Mason Rudolph, who was under pressure from cornerback Garror, who was sent on a blitz.
