Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, respectively. Yet, they are still in the running to have Reese fall to them at No. 4 on draft day.<\/p>\nJeremiah spoke on where Reese best projects at the next level, which aligns with Tennessee’s most pressing need.<\/p>\n
\u201cReese is a fluid and explosive athlete,\u201d Jeremiah said. \u201cOhio State used him as a chess piece on defense. He aligned off the ball at linebacker, on the edge as a rusher and occasionally was deployed as a QB spy. He projects best as an edge rusher at the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reese was ranked as the second-highest rated edge rusher behind Texas Tech\u2019s David Bailey, who was ranked No. 3 overall. Reese\u2019s ability to man multiple slots on defense offers much to the Titans for next season. Tennessee looks to establish a \u201cfast and violent\u201d defense in 2026 under coach Robert Saleh. Reese is a potential candidate to join a Titans defensive unit led by 2025 first-team All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons next season.<\/p>\n
