The Tennessee Titans’ front office has talked about turning over every stone searching for a quarterback. The same thing can be said about the wide receiver position as well.
After watching Nick Westbrook-Ikhine depart for the Miami Dolphins, the Titans are relatively thin at wide receiver beyond Calvin Ridley and could use multiple playmakers at the position.
Recently, on the “Up & Adams Show,” Kay Adams spoke to Nebraska wide receiver Isaiah Neyor about his pre-draft journey. When asked which teams have stood out to him during the process, the Titans came up in the conversation.
“Just recently I spoke to the (San Francisco) 49ers, I spoke to the (Cincinnati) Bengals and the Titans, I think the Titans kind of stick out to me the most,” Neyor said.
Neyor is an interesting height/weight/speed developmental prospect who could offer late-round value. At 6-foot-3, 222 pounds, he has had a winding path to this point, playing for Wyoming, Texas, and Nebraska. Hampered by injuries and transfers, he is unrefined and will need time to fully develop his route-running abilities.
More productive early in his college career at Wyoming, he is a big target with 4.44 speed to challenge defenses vertically. However, his limited route tree and on-field inconsistencies caught up with him at Texas and Nebraska. But with the natural size and explosiveness you cannot teach, he could be worth a late-round flyer.
