Last offseason was a rough one for Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson, as the team’s biggest free-agent acquisitions were busts and the 2020 NFL draft class contributed almost nothing.

A poor first season for said players isn’t stopping the Titans from expecting more from their 2020 draft class in 2021, as head coach Mike Vrabel stated during a Q&A with fans recently.

Evans and Fulton should see increased roles by default as long as they’re healthy, and Murchison and Jackson could earn more playing time with strong showings in camp.
