The NFL Scouting Combine is finally upon us, and franchises will get an up-close look at some of the top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Tennessee Titans enter the week with a lot of needs and will be casting a wide net during their evaluations of multiple positions in search of playmakers and depth. Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated zeroed in on one mid-round prospect who could be worth monitoring this week. 

Tennessee Titans: Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas

Tony Pollard may be a salary cap casualty for the Tennessee Titans this offseason. With so many premium draft needs, the Titans can’t afford to draft a running back until the middle rounds. Arkansas’ Mike Washington Jr. is a well-rounded prospect who should continue improving his pre-draft stock in Indianapolis.

It’s hard to tell what the Titans will do in their backfield this offseason, but they could definitely look to add a back to the mix. Washington does bring value as a mid-round option, and may be on their radar with a skillset that fits Brian Daboll’s system.

With the team already having multiple deep holes on its roster, would moving on from Pollard and weakening another position be a wise move? Before free agency kicks off, there is no way to know.Â
