INDIANAPOLIS – The Tennessee TitansTheir commitment to quarterback has been very proactive Ryan TannehillIn 2022, despite his interceptions in their shocking divisional-round defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tannehill is the current quarterback for the team, but Jon Robinson, the general manager, is very aware that a future quarterback will be needed.
Nevada’s quarterback has already been met by the Titans. Carson StrongNorth Carolina’s Sam Howellat the NFL scouting Combine. They will also meet with Cincinnati’s quarterback. Desmond RidderIn the next days. Tennessee may have the future signal-caller this year.
Robinson stated that there are drafts in which some players are out of reach. They’ll be in the top three to four picks, and Robinson picks in the back half of the first round. Robinson said, “We’re trying to find the guys that might be within striking distance of us that may not come into and unseat but that we see a bright future for.”
Ridder was first seen by the Titans last month during Senior Bowl practice week. Ridder is considered a late-first-round or second-round prospect for this year’s draft.
Ridder, who is a huge fan of Tannehill’s games and finds similarities in their skill sets, coincidentally.
Ridder stated, “He’s an excellent game manager.” His energy and passion are a great asset to the game. There are many similarities between him and me, such as his ability to keep things under control. His leadership ability and his ability to bring together teams. He’s also able to extend plays. This is a huge advantage in today’s game.”
Tannehill will have a cap of $38.6 million this season, so it is a big cost to commit to him. Tannehill made some slight adjustments last season, particularly when it comes to football care. His 14 interceptions in 2021 were greater than his total of 13 from the Titans’ first two seasons.
Mike Vrabel, Titans coach, mentioned Tannehill’s leadership and toughness among the primary reasons he believes in his current quarterback. Vrabel and his Titans team are determined to be great around Tannehill. They also want him to improve the play of others around him.
Vrabel stated that “any quarterback in this league must be capable of doing that.” “Get us to the right play and be decisive when it comes to the ball. Protect the football and deliver the ball to the pocket when you are forced to. Ryan will always be asked for those things. [Tannehill]Or whoever is back there.”
The AFC has a number of top-level quarterbacks like Patrick MahomesThe Kansas City Chiefs, Josh AllenThe Buffalo Bills, Joe BurrowThe Cincinnati Bengals Lamar JacksonThe Baltimore Ravens. The Titans lost to Burrow and Jackson in their last two seasons.
Tannehill will be 34 years old when the Titans take him to the field for training camp.
