Bailey led the nation in sacks in 2025 with 14.5. His game has the chance to be transcendent at the NFL level. Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin-Myers as well as David Bailey is breathtaking to envision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Reese played as an inside linebacker as well as an edge rusher last season at Ohio State. He even lined up as an interior defensive lineman in 2025. The Titans stand to gain from having a do-it-all linebacker with the physical capabilities that Reese has.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Styles has remarkable athleticism, as put on display at the 2026 NFL Combine, to complement his poise, as well as his awareness on the field as a desirable inside linebacker. He\u2019s viewed as a future green dot defender in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Titans\u2019 first line of defense now includes Jermaine Johnson on the outside. Oluwafemi Oladejo also has the chance to play on the edge next season as well, as Titans coach Robert Saleh envisioned at the 2026 NFL Combine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">However, Bailey is a peculiar talent with desirable size, speed as well as strength that fits in the Titans\u2019 lineup like a glove. Reese\u2019s versatility forecasts to give Tennessee the luxury of playing him in their first or second line of defense next season. Styles addresses their second line of defense in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 3, 2026, 12:06 p.m. ET Who is the prospect that the Tennessee Titans\u2019 front office walks away&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,97116,95882,95930,96714,110243,98541,95896,95888,96684,96215,95906,95975,95883,95889,97478,526,394,2411,527,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-852447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfltitans","12":"tag-sstsntitans","13":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","14":"tag-tagamerican-football","15":"tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","16":"tag-tagjeffery-simmons","17":"tag-tagjermaine-johnson","18":"tag-tagjohn-franklin-myers","19":"tag-tagnational-sports","20":"tag-tagnfl","21":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","22":"tag-tagohio-state-buckeyes-football","23":"tag-tagoverall-positive","24":"tag-tagrobert-saleh","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","27":"tag-tagtexas-tech-red-raiders-football","28":"tag-tennessee","29":"tag-tennessee-titans","30":"tag-tennesseetitans","31":"tag-titans","32":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
