The Tennessee Titans are entering the NFL Draft with some glaring questions about the interior offensive line. The Titans cut last year's starting center Lloyd Cushenberry and have yet to resign right guard Kevin Zeitler. Free agency signing Austin Schlottmann appears to be the favorite for the starting center spot, but the right guard opening isn't as obvious.
Mike Borgonzi selected Jackson Slater in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Sacramento State product rode the bench in 2025 learning from the veterans, and may be in line to compete for the right guard or center opening. If the front office isn't confident in the late rounder, they could turn to Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis in round two of the NFL Draft.
Bisontis was a three-year starter for Texas A&M, including a full season at right tackle that earned him a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team. As a sophomore, he was bumped inside to left guard where he remained for the next two seasons. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound guard could be the next key addition to the Titans' offensive line.
NFL Draft: Chase Bisontis could be a Day One Contributor for Titans
Bisontis is a highly experienced prospect who could be an immediate cornerstone as a rookie. His experience shows on tape, as he is rarely fooled by defensive line stunts and blitz packages. He does well at holding off defensive linemen and standing his ground in pass protection, and he's unlikely to commit mental mistakes. He can occasionally get driven back, possibly an indication of his strength, but it's not consistent enough to raise any red flags.
Bisontis' best snaps on tape come in the run game. He possesses the IQ and the agility to maneuver his blocks to open run lanes. He does well quickly navigating to the second level on runs and locating his assignment. Per CFBstats.com, Texas A&M ranked second in rushing offense in the SEC in 2024, and third in 2025. Bisontis was clearly a key factor for that success, and the Titans could certainly use that boost in their own rushing offense.
Bisontis projects to be a reliable pass protector with high upside in the run game. Although he's certainly a guard at the pro level, drafting a prospect with versatility is also reassuring. If the Titans decide to go with Jeremiyah Love at pick four, don't be surprised if Bisontis follows him at the top of round two.
