New Headline: Former UT Horned Frogs' Helm Makes Exciting Second NFL Season Start
After a busy start to the offseason for the Titans, Gunnar Helm is line to get a bigger role.Tennessee has cleared the way for the former Longhorns.
With the NFL offseason now in full swing, the Tennessee Titans have been busy reshaping their roster. That includes the tight end room, which has seen the departure of a fixture in the offense, Chig Okonkwo, who signed with the Washington Commanders. With Okonkwo now in the nation's capital, former Longhorn star Gunnar Helm is in line to have a bigger role in the offense.
During his rookie campaign, Helm showed signs of promise, hauling in 44 receptions for 357 yards. He also found the end zone twice while averaging 8. 1 yards per catch.
The former fourth-round pick had at least one catch in every game and five or more targets four times. Nice TD from Gunnar Helm. Helm also broke the Titans rookie reception record for a TE earlier today as well.
