Despite having a solid sophomore season, Tennessee Titans third-year pass rusher, Rashad Weaver, is largely flying under the radar as we inch closer to the 2023 season.
The Pittsburgh product was ultimately forced into a bigger role last year due to Harold Landry’s unfortunate knee injury right before the 2022 campaign began.
While his performance wasn’t perfect by any means and his sack production tapered off in the second half of the season, Weaver undoubtedly showed plenty of promise whenever he was on the field.
The former fourth-round pick totaled 27 tackles, 22 pressures, 15 quarterback hits, seven tackles for loss, six pass deflections, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
One of Weaver’s biggest believers in the national media appears to be NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger, who is known for his fantastic film breakdowns throughout the year.
Baldinger recently released a video on Weaver’s potential, saying he’s “looking for big stuff from Rashad Weaver this year.”
The NFL Network analyst also expects Weaver, who is projected to be the No. 3 outside linebacker behind Harold Landry and Arden Key, to keep getting better the more he works on his hand usage and footwork.
