In March, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was asked if he felt that offensive lineman Dillon Radunz could step into a starting role today. Vrabel responded with a resounding “no,” but noted that he was confident that Radunz would take the coaching and teaching this offseason and improve.
Now almost a full week into voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), Radunz was asked about Vrabel’s comments at the NFL Scouting Combine.
“Ultimately, when he said that, it’s true,” Radunz said of Vrabel’s answer via Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline. “When you are in the offseason, I don’t think any of us are ready to start and play in a game at that moment. It’s the offseason, and there’s a reason it’s called the offseason. Obviously, as a competitor, it is my goal to start and all of that stuff. But the team is first and we’re going to make sure everybody on that starting line earns it.”
