The Tennessee Titans held their annual rookie minicamp this weekend in Nashville, giving the young players a first-hand look at what to expect.

For the nine draft picks and 16 undrafted rookie free agents, it is a start to the winding road leading into training camp, where they will fight for a roster spot. This event lays the foundation and begins the basic technique work that the coaching staff wants to instill throughout the organization.

In addition to the 25 players mentioned above, the Titans invited 11 more to take part in the minicamp on a tryout basis. These players are attempting to catch the staff’s eyes in hopes of continuing their football careers.
