Titans reportedly interested in Big Ten safety

The Tennessee Titans have had their scouts busy on the pro day circuit and are looking at some players who sit outside of the mainstream conversations. One of the latest names was identified by draft analyst Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports, who reports the Titans have shown a lot of interest in Nebraska safety DeShon Singleton. Nebraska Safety DeShon Singleton timed the 40 anywhere from 4.

52 to 4. 55 seconds after not running at the combine. He hit 39.

5 inches in the vertical jump and 10-foot-10 in the broad jump. Singleton looked good in defensive back drills. A large defender at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Singleton is being looked at solely as a zone or strong safety by the league, with no talk of bulking him up to play linebacker, something he initially told me at the combine.

The Cincinnati Bengals, New Orleans Saints, and Tennessee Titans have shown strong interest in Singleton, who also participated in the Senior Bowl. The Titans are interesting, as new head coach Robert Saleh was with the New York Jets when they drafted Jamien Sherwood in 2021, a then-oversized safety from Auburn who has become an outstanding linebacker for the team. The Titans could use some depth in the secondary after parting with Xavier Woods and Mike Brown during the offseason.
