Keondre Coburn, DT

Titans sophomore defensive tackle Keondre Coburn was added to the roster by general manager Ran Carthon last December in the midst of an unimpressive stretch. Coburn entered his first training camp with the Titans this offseason while attempting to impress a new coaching staff. The former Texas Longhorn looked explosive and strong on Saturday.

Coburn is trying to solidify himself as a rotational linemen in Dennard Wilson's defense. He's a true nose tackle that projects as a potential backup for T'Vondre Sweat, an ex teammate of his at Texas. Coburn (and his swarming teammates) helped take down 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs on fourth down to force a turnover on downs with under two minutes remaining.

Coburn's determination to chase down a scrambling Dobbs was impressive considering he weighs approximately 335 pounds.
