The Tennessee Titans got plenty of reps from their 2022 rookie class this past season.

Injuries forced young players to player a bigger role than many expected. Accordingly, they got to see plenty of action from rookies, and some performed better than expected.

Nick Shook from NFL.com broke down their rookie class.

According to Shook, the Titans' 2022 draft class was the 8th-best in the NFL. They earned a "B" grade.

Treylon Burks didn't see enough targets to make a difference in an offense that struggled mightily to throw the football all year. He had his moments, but getting a return on the investment with that pick will require more than Burks simply improving over time.

Roger McCreary made a number of quality plays, using his length to his advantage against more seasoned receivers, but he also committed his fair share of rookie mistakes…

It's difficult for a non-elite offensive lineman — especially a tackle — to make a significant difference as a rookie, and Nicholas Petit-Frere, while consistently available, took his lumps.

Tennessee was forced to play Malik Willis while Ryan Tannehill was out, and Willis' lack of experience showed, so much that the Titans relied on a run-heavy approach in all but one of his appearances. Willis flashed glimpses of his athletic ability, but he has a ways to go before he becomes a viable NFL starter…

Chigoziem Okonkwo was a surprise contributor, catching 32 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns as Tennessee's second option at tight end.

Kyle Philips carried promise entering his first NFL season, but a couple of early special teams blunders cost him playing time, and a hamstring injury ended his season after just four games played…

Ryan Stonehouse proved to be an excellent addition, breaking Sammy Baugh's single-season gross yards per punt average record, set way back in 1940. Stonehouse routinely flipped field position for a Titans team whose struggling offense often needed its inexperienced punter to dig it out of holes.

Tre Avery was a quality undrafted pickup who played more on defense down the stretch while serving as a special teamer all season, possibly playing his way into Tennessee's future plans.

Is he right?

Shook made plenty of great points.

Burks showed physical flashes that excited the team and fans. McCreary gave them a lot of reps, but he also had his fair share of struggles as a rookie. That's to be expected with his style of play at cornerback.

NPF became a starting offensive tackle when few folks expected him to get that role for at least one entire year.

Willis came in once Tannehill was injured. His raw processing ability was clear, but his mobility and playmaking abilities were fun to watch – at least.

We'll learn over the next couple seasons if he can become the starter for the Titans.

Okonkwo and Stonehouse were the two most valuable selections in last year's class.

Those two brought under-the-radar skillsets to the Titans that they desperately needed a season ago. They are both important pieces for the Titans in the future.

Tre Avery came in to replace injured players in the secondary and on special teams. He's a solid depth player for the Titans going forward.

Overall, Tennessee got some respect for Jon Robinson's final draft class with the team.
