Tennessee Titans trade up to pick Texas football LB Anthony Hill

The Tennessee Titans wanted Texas Longhorns linebacker Anthony Hill. So much so, they traded back into the second round to t ake him with the No. 60 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft .

The 6-foot-2, 238-pound defender is the first Longhorns player taken in this year's draft. The Titans traded away their second-round pick to move up and select Keldric Faulk in the first round. But when they saw Hill had almost slipped out of the second round, they acted on the good value for a good player.

Tennessee gave up their third-round pick and one of their three fifth-round picks to land the 60th overall pick. Another Longhorn in Nashville 🤘 @thegoatanthony1 pic. twitter.
