After signing with the Tennessee Titans last Saturday, former Vols wide receiver Ramel Keyton has been waived by the NFL franchise.

According to a report from Jim Wyatt, Keyton was waived to make room for the signing of offensive lineman Arlington Hambright on Sunday, Aug 3. Initially, Keyton was signed by the Titans in the wake of receiver Treylon Burks breaking his collarbone and being released.

This was Keyton’s second team in as many years of his NFL career. He spent his rookie campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders after going undrafted.

Keyton turned heads in the preseason of his rookie year, resulting in him being added to the franchise’s 53-man roster for the regular season. He was waived on Sept. 28, but re-signed to the practice squad. He was promoted back to the active roster on Nov. 1. On the year, he caught one pass for seven yards.

This past April, Keyton was waived by the team, making way for him to join the Titans for the time being.

Keyton played five seasons at Tennessee. He began his career under Jeremy Pruitt in 2019 and stuck through the coaching change to play for Josh Heupel.

As a freshman, Keyton played in all 12 games, totalling four catches for 104 yards. As a sophomore in 2020, he played in seven games and started in three. He caught nine passes for 76 yards.

In his first season under Heupel in 2021, Keyton played in 10 games and started one. He caught seven passes for 72 yards that year.

In 2022, he played a much larger role to help replace an injured Cedric Tillman. He managed 31 receptions for 562 yards and five touchdowns. This featured a great game against Florida when he produced 69 yards, including a fantastic diving grab. He started in seven of his 13 appearances that year.

His final season paired him up with quarterback Joe Milton III in 2023. He started in all 13 games while posting a career high in receptions (35), receiving yards (642) and touchdowns (6). This also marked a team-high in touchdown grabs.

Keyton is out of Marietta, Georgia, where he was considered a four-star recruit.
