The Tennessee Titans are going to need multiple players to step up on the offensive side of the ball in 2023, especially at wide receiver. 

Tennessee's only free agent addition at receiver was 29-year-old Chris Moore, and the Titans' most targeted weapon from a year ago (Robert Woods) departed for the Houston Texans. In the draft, the Titans added UT Martin's Colton Dowell in the seventh round with their sole wide receiver selection.

It's going to take quite a few breakout seasons for the Titans' receiving corps to be sufficient this season. We've heard all about Treylon Burks looking like a "completely different player" and Kyle Philips' high upside, but who else could make a jump this season?

I spoke with Titans wide receiver Racey McMath after minicamp on Tuesday, and it was clear that the former LSU Tiger has a lot of confidence in himself heading into year three of his career.

"I know I'm capable," McMath asserted when asked about having a breakout season and contributing to both offense and special teams in 2023. "I've done both. Special teams and offense. I've been a great receiver and a great special teams guy. I can do all of it."

Throughout Titans minicamp and training camp in 2022, there was a lot of buzz about McMath's emergence as a deep threat in the Titans' offense. He gained the trust of Ryan Tannehill and was regularly making plays down the field. That all came to a crashing halt when McMath fractured his hip in training camp and was sidelined until December.

McMath told me on Tuesday that he felt like he was on pace to have a breakout season prior to the injury. When I asked the 23-year-old wide receiver what he needs to work on to take the next step in his game, he told me that staying healthy is his current priority.

"Just staying healthy and taking advantage of the opportunities I have and making the plays when my name gets called," said McMath, who took up some different training habits this offseason to to become more mobile, balanced, and stable.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel says that in order to earn more opportunities, McMath needs to start with his special teams contributions and continue being a disruptive gunner. After that, it's all about picking up where he left off a year ago and helping Tennessee stretch the field on offense.

"Offensively, just pick up where he left off," said Vrabel of his expectations for McMath. "I saw when Racey was out there in training camp and improving and getting better and adjusting to the football down the field. He made some plays and then unfortunately had a setback."

To date, McMath has just four career catches, but Titans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly pointed to the 39-yard reception McMath had against the Dallas Cowboys last season as an example of what the Titans hope to see more of from him this season. But even if it's just the occasional big play from the former sixth-round pick, that step forward could go a long way towards improving Tennessee's passing offense.
