Tennessee Titans pick Keldric Faulk: 'NFL is brand new to me'
Tennessee Titans newly drafted defensive end Keldric Faulk says, "The NFL is brand new to me," after being selected.
The Tennessee Titans surprised everyone when they traded up to gain a second pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft. The Buffalo Bills traded the 31st pick, a third-round pick, and a fifth-round pick to the Titans in exchange for second, third, and fourth-round picks. Tennessee then used that pick on Auburn defensive end Keldric Faulk, whose name wasn't frequently mentioned as a Day 1 prospect.
After the selection, Faulk spoke to the media about being drafted by the Titans, and he was as surprised as everyone else. Keldrick Faulk says he doesn’t know much about the Titans or the NFL in general. Also said he did not have much interaction with Tennessee pre-draft pic.

"To be honest, I don't really know too much about the NFL in general. I really just started watching players in the NFL as soon as I got into college, probably two or three years ago. So, the NFL is brand new to me.
