I had the Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, and Philadelphia Eagles, to name a few. I had an in-person visit with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/tennessee-titans\/336\" data-autotag=\"f9731e2d-52ac-46db-9b52-ab518dbe13b4\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>. I have visits with the Broncos and Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">You have to be prepared for everything during the pre-draft process. You don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen on draft day. I\u2019m just enjoying the process by controlling what I can control. I\u2019m doing my job, and God will take me wherever he wants to take me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Titans have Gunnar Helm, Joel Wilson, and David Martin-Robinson returning, and brought in Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson in free agency, but could look to add another dynamic receiving threat at the position after saying goodbye to Chig Okonkwo, and Stowers is that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">A tremendous athlete, Stowers set multiple records at the NFL Scouting Combine and came out rated as the most athletic tight end in the class. From his college tape, that athleticism and speed the 6-foot-4, 239-pound Stowers demonstrated at the combine do translate to his play on the field, making him a matchup nightmare for defensive coordinators.<\/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\">One of the most important parts of this visit was that the Titans got a chance to meet with one of the top tight end prospects, and it didn\u2019t count against their Top 30 player limit, since Vanderbilt was considered a local visit. A rule that general manager Mike Borgonzi will gladly take advantage of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 2, 2026, 5:31 a.m. ET As every day passes, more draft prospects are being connected to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":854711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,97116,95882,111416,116751,116752,101843,95896,95888,96683,96684,95906,96099,96716,95883,95889,114248,526,394,2411,527,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-854710","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-tagdaniel-bellinger","16":"tag-tagdavid-martin-robinson","17":"tag-tagjoel-wilson","18":"tag-tagkylen-granson","19":"tag-tagnational-sports","20":"tag-tagnfl","21":"tag-tagnfl-draft","22":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","23":"tag-tagoverall-positive","24":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","25":"tag-tagsports-illustrated","26":"tag-tagsports-news","27":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","28":"tag-tagvanderbilt-university-commodores-football","29":"tag-tennessee","30":"tag-tennessee-titans","31":"tag-tennesseetitans","32":"tag-titans","33":"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\/854710","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=854710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/854711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
