With a little over a month until the start of the NFL draft, like every team, the Tennessee Titans are in the middle of their draft prep. Team coaches, scouts and officials are all busy conducting interviews, attending Pro Days and hosting Top 30 visits.
For the most part, the Titans have been tight lipped about the players that are set for visits. So far, Abdul Carter, Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward and Jamaal Pritchett have been completed. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is scheduled for a visit to Nashville, but no official word has come out on if that has taken place.
On Friday, sources reported that Rutgers cornerback Robert Longerbeam was scheduled to have a virtual interview with the organization.
Longerbeam is an explosive athlete with smooth coverage skills who may lack the size to hold up against bigger, physical receivers on the outside. At 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, his size limitations could be exposed in the NFL, especially against the run. As a pure cover corner, he excels in zone, has tremendous instincts and ball skills, and has the fluidity in his hips to mirror any route.
While he has the positional flexibility to play inside or out, he needs seasoning inside an NFL weight room before taking on a larger role on a defense. Longerbeam has the ability to step in and make a special teams or sub-package impact, but his overall size could limit him early in his career.
The Titans could look to add a cornerback after the release of Chidobe Awuzie and lack overall depth at the cornerback position. Longerbeam appears to be a Day 3 prospect with a solid athletic profile that could be on their radar.
