The 2026 NFL Draft is just a matter of days away, and I’ve got three more prospects you need to know about before Titans GM Mike Borgonzi goes to work considering them as options.

This is Part III of a three-part series diving into under-discussed prospects in this draft class. I reached out to nine trusted draft media colleagues for their answers on which player isn’t getting enough buzz, and it’s led to some fascinating discussions. In Part I, we covered three Round 2 risers. In Part II, we went over three Day 2 defenders who Robert Saleh probably has his eyes on. And in this final installment, we have a potpourri of prospects who we believe simply must be on the radar of informed Titans fans heading into draft weekend.

I sat down to discuss each of these players with A to Z Sports Nashville’s own JT Ruhnke, as well as the cohosts of Best Pod Available: Ryan Roberts and Joe DeLeone. Check out that video linked above! Now here’s what you need to know:

Chris Johnson | CB | San Diego St.

We all entered the Senior Bowl in January with grand expectations for Johnson, who was a small school candidate to break into the national conversation a la Quinyon Mitchell. But he didn’t dominated the discussion in Mobile that week, and so the anticipated hype never materialized.

I am here to tell you that this was a mistake! Because Johnson was and is worth the hype. He’s currently the consensus 42nd overall pick. At 6’0 193lbs, his 22nd percentile arm length presents a potential concern on paper. But his 83rd percentile 40-yard dash and 74th percentile broad jump demonstrate his explosive ability to keep up on the outside. He had elite production in college, last year posting 4 INTs, 5 PBUs, zero TDs allowed, and just 2 completions of 20+ yards. He’s a clean player too: just two career DPI/holding penalties. This is a high-coverage IQ player ready to step in immediately to an NFL lineup.

Treydan Stukes | CB | Arizona

Stukes might be my favorite prospect consistently mocked in the third round. The 64th player on the consensus draft board can do it all in the secondary, from boundary CB, to the slot, to safety. He’s 6’2 190lbs with 56th percentile arms. He ran a blazing 4.33s 40-yard dash this spring and jumped 38″ in the vert (79th percentile).

In 2,674 career college snaps, he’s logged 503 at safety, 943 at outside CB, and 1,174 in the slot. 4 INT’s and 6 PBU’s is what he put up in 9 games last season, allowing zero touchdowns and a 34.4 passing rating. Everything I hear from people in the league is glowing about the young man. He can cover anybody, anywhere. He’d be an absolute steal at 66th overall.

Mike Washington | RB | Arkansas

All of our attention at RB in this draft has rightfully been on Jeremiyah Love at the top. But Washington is somebody who stood out at school this past season before really turning heads during athletic testing this spring. At 67 on the consensus board, his spider chart of measurables is phenomenal: 6’1 (87th percentile), 223lbs (77th), 33 ⅝ arms (99th), 4.33s 40-yard dash (97th), 1.51s 10-yard split (86th), 39” vert (91st), 10’8 broad (93rd). The guy is a freak.

His bellcow frame allows him to bully you or run by you. At every stop in college, he took a developmental step forward that was reflected in his production. Of his career 2,870 yards rushing, 1,796 came after contact. He forced 108 missed tackles, and has a career 13.4% explosive run rate. If he slips into Day 3, he’s going to be a very live option.
