The Tennessee Titans enter the 2025 season with a solid mix of veteran players and rising young talent as they aim to rebuild their roster following a disappointing 2024 campaign that left them at the bottom of the NFL standings.
With established leaders to mentor them, the Titans have some young players who could be ready to take the next step in their careers and could break out in 2025.

Nick Shook of NFL Media scoured through every roster in the league and came up with his All-Under-25 Team heading into the season, and the Titans saw two of their young stars make the list.
OG Peter Skoronski – Tennessee Titans
We’re in a weird place right now, with most of the NFL’s best guards being 25 or older, which leads us closer to the land of replacement-level blockers. Skoronski might not reside in that tier for long, though, because the former Northwestern tackle showed notable improvement as a pass blocker in his second season at guard in Tennessee. Other than the six penalties he was flagged for in Year 2, he looked more comfortable than he did as a rookie and improved in most every category while learning how to play alongside JC Latham , who joined Skoronski on the line as a fellow former first-round choice. Tennessee has since added veteran Dan Moore Jr. , whose installation at left tackle should further aid Skoronski in his age-24 season.
Skoronski improved tremendously in 2024 and was performing like one of the top guards in the league by the end of the season. Now, entering his third season with an improved surrounding cast, he appears poised to become a household name. This comes at the perfect time for the Titans, who must protect rookie Cam Ward.
IDL T’Vondre Sweat – Tennessee Titans
In this All-Under-25 squad, Sweat is the run-stopping salt to Carter’s pass-rushing pepper. He’s a massive human (6-foot-4, 366 pounds) who is surprisingly athletic, a gargantuan gap-plugger made in the mold of a past era of interior defenders. While he didn’t match his excellent Titans teammate Jeffery Simmons in stops (59), he still did quite well in this category, logging 39 while keeping pace with more established upper-tier defensive tackles in stops percentage (5.8, better than Poona Ford ‘s 5.4 and Vita Vea ‘s 5.1). For those who appreciate raw power on the interior, Sweat is a joy to watch. If he can build on what he accomplished as a rookie, he’ll become a household name.
Sweat is a fantastic athlete for a man his size and has the potential to develop into a dominant force on the interior of the defensive line. Although he showed signs of greatness as a rookie, there is still room for growth. With a year of experience under his belt, he should gain a better understanding of the rigors of an NFL season and be able to add consistency in his second season.
