The Tennessee Titans are doing their homework on defensive linemen ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, with San Jose State defensive lineman Junior Fehoko being among them.
According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the Titans had a formal meeting with Fehoko, who has also met with the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
For more on the 6-foot-4, 276-pound D-lineman, we turn to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com.
Fehoko’s body type will require teams to decide whether they want him to play base end in a 4-3 defense or ask him to add weight so they can use him as a hybrid end/tackle in a 3-4. He plays with a nose for the football and a chippy attitude. He’s been productive in both phases over the last two seasons, but we will see if that translates against better competition. While he’s not as anchor-based as teams might like due to his lack of leverage, he has a nasty spin counter that could be effective as a sub-package rusher. He’s strong, tough and active with the talent to become an NFL backup.
San Jose State DL Junior Fehoko mostly played DE in college, but said NFL teams think he can play a number of roles at the next level. He’s had formal visits with the Patriots, Cowboys and Titans and, of course, met the 49ers’ brass at today’s local pro day.

Per Damian Parson of The Draft Network, Fehoko has a fourth-round value. That just so happens to be the only round the Titans don’t have a pick in.
