The draft preparations are in full swing and the new Tennessee Titans braintrust is out looking for roster upgrades.
New general manager Mike Borgonzi just left the East-West Shrine Bowl and is now at the Senior Bowl meeting with prospects. On Tuesday, he spoke on a specific trait he is looking for in a quarterback.

“Some guys have ‘it’, they are cool (or) calm under pressure – that’s what Pat was,” he said “I’ve had a good view of that for a while.”
Borgonzi was indeed spoiled by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, just as head coach Brian Callahan was spoiled by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, but the question is does any quarterback in this class have the “it” factor.
After a miserable 2024 where neither Will Levis nor Mason Rudolph proved to have “it”, the Titans are in search of an upgrade at the position. Tennessee spent a lot of time with Shedeur Sanders at the East-West Shrine Bowl and will have to find time to meet with Cam Ward, the other top quarterback option, to see what makes them tick.
One thing is certain as this process begins: This front office knows what they are looking for in a quarterback. They just may not find it this offseason.
