The Tennessee Titans have three representatives down at the NFL Combine this week, with head coach Mike Vrabel, general manager Ran Carthon and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly all making the trip.
In addition, all three are being made available to the media, with this being the first time Vrabel and Carthon have spoken at length since the latter was hired, and the first time for Kelly since coming aboard in Nashville in 2021.
Carthon made some notable comments about quarterback Ryan Tannehill on Tuesday, the highlights of which you can check out here. Kelly also made some waves with his comments on the team’s predictability on offense.
Vrabel’s presser wasn’t as interesting, though, but he did address several topics during his availability. Here’s a look at the highlights.
