With Phase 3 of offseason team activities winding down, the staff and front office will take a step back and take a wider look at their roster to see if any last-minute pre-training camp moves need to be made.

Adding competition and depth is always a positive, and the Tennessee Titans can always add talent to the roster at multiple positions. However, the Titans do boast a couple of position groups that have established starters in place and appear ready to take a huge step forward in 2025.

As was the case with the defensive tackle position, Tennessee landed two players on Mason Cameron’s offensive guard rankings for Pro Football Focus (PFF) in their latest breakdown.

9. Kevin Zeitler, Tennessee Titans

Although Zeitler enters 2025 at age 35, he continues to prove he isn’t slowing down. In his lone season in Detroit, Zeitler earned his highest PFF overall grade (86.5) in a decade, finishing as the NFL’s third-highest-graded guard. While his pass protection dipped a bit in 2024, his 87.2 PFF run-blocking grade stands as the best of his career.

20. Peter Skoronski, Tennessee Titans

From a season-long viewpoint, Skoronski doesn’t move the needle much, but there’s an argument to be made that he closed out the year as the best pass protector at the position. From Week 12 onward, Skoronski produced the highest PFF pass-blocking grade (88.2) among guards. At just 24 years old, that strong finish should set up a breakout 2025.

It’s no surprise that free agent acquisition Kevin Zeitler is on the list. The veteran lineman has long been considered one of the top guards in the game, and his presence should be felt both on and off the field in 2025. Tennessee not only needed improved play from the offensive line, but they also needed a veteran who could lead and mentor the young players on the unit.

Skoronski appeared to turn a corner during the 2024 season and was the Titans’ most consistent lineman. Now, with a player like Zeitler in the building to learn from, he can take the next step and truly develop into a long-term anchor on the interior of the unit.

With rookie quarterback Cam Ward likely starting this season, solid offensive line play and protection will be key to success for the offense. The Titans retooled their unit during the offseason and will now look for the results they have paid for.
