Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut ripped off an impressive run during the preseason Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday night.
With the Titans’ offense desperately needing a spark, Chestnut provided it with an explosive run that set the Titans up inside the five-yard line.
Chestnut took the handoff from quarterback Malik Willis to the right side, where an enormous hole was waiting for him thanks to blocks from tight end Thomas Odukoya and wide receiver Reggie Roberson.
It was the second big run of the preseason for Chestnut thus far after he ripped off a 26-yard gain in preseason Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.

Chestnut has done more than enough to cement himself as this team’s No. 3 back, and he was in the process of doing that even before both Hassan Haskins and Jonathan Ward got hurt. Both of those players didn’t suit up on Saturday.
