The Tennessee Titans are settling into the offseason and have been quite busy. Not only have they landed a new general manager in Mike Borgonzi, but they’ve also picked up a new special teams coordinator in John Fassel to solidify one of the worst units in the league.
While the front office has been busy formulating a plan, the players are finally enjoying a brief bit of downtime before ramping up their personal offseason routines. As for the rookies, they are recovering from the longest regular season action of their careers.
Multiple rookies got a baptism by fire in 2024. JC Latham, T’Vondre Sweat, and Jarvis Brownlee all had major roles, while Cedric Gray, Jha’Quan Jackson, James Williams, and Jaylen Harrell all logged playing time near the end of the season.
One player, though, performed better than many expected and played his way onto the Pro Football Writers of America’s regular-season All-Rookie Team.

Sweat was an immovable object in the middle of the defensive line and surprised many with his seamless adjustment to the NFL game. The 360-pound mammoth was not only stout against the run, but he flashed some pass rush abilities that were unexpected.
In all, he finished with 51 tackles, one sack, one fumble recovery, and an Angry Run Scepter.
While Sweat wasn’t perfect, he was a great compliment to Jeffery Simmons along the defensive line and appears to be a foundational piece that the Titans can build upon. With the Titans holding the No. 1 overall selection, fans hope that new general manager Mike Borgonzi can select players that will have a similar impact in 2025 and beyond.
