5 Titans who could surprise in 2024

1. Caleb Farley

While this is by far the most controversial name on this list for Titans fans, hear me out on Caleb Farley. I don't believe that Farley ever lives up to his draft status of being a first round pick or even a full-time starter. With that said, there's an opening for depth corners to make an impact on this roster behind L'Jarius Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie, and Roger McCreary. Given the NFL's shift to increased passing volume and the injury history of both Sneed and Awuzie, the Titans will need to have at least four or five corners capable of giving them quality snaps- enter Farley.

Farley has plenty of competition for these depth roles including holdovers Tre Avery, Eric Garror, and Anthony Kendall, as well as newcomers Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Gabe Jeudy-Lally. One thing that can help Farley separate himself from this group is his size. Only he and Jeudy-Lally stand at six-feet tall or above, making him a strong depth piece to handle larger receivers on the outside. Given their size, players like Garror and Brownlee Jr. may be much better suited for slot snaps when the Titans go with four corners or if McCreary misses time. That leaves Farley as a potential option to play a large number of snaps if/when the outside vets miss time.

Entering this season fully healthy, Farley will have the chance to earn meaningful snaps in a contract season. Having a strong training camp and preseason will be key for Farley to earn a depth spot on this roster, but his size and athleticism are a rare combo for a potential fourth or fifth corner. Given Farley's injury history and tragic loss of both of this parents, he's an easy guy to root for in his career and could be a surprise contributor to this roster that a lot of fans have written off.
