INDIANAPOLIS — Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers made headlines from the Super Bowl when he pointed to the Tennessee Titans as his preferred landing spot in the 2024 NFL Draft.
"I'd be alright with going to the Tennessee Titans. That'd be a cool spot to be," said Bowers on Pro Football Talk Live with Chris Simms and Mike Florio.
Bowers provided extra context to that statement in Thursday's press conference from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Bowers told reporters on Thursday afternoon that the Titans are one of the teams he has formally met with in Indy. Not a huge surprise, seeing as Bowers has already met with approximately 15 different teams.
Bowers said his meeting with the Titans included answering some "core questions," but moved very fast.
But given that there is some mutual interest between Bowers and the Titans, what was his reason for saying he wanted to play in Tennessee?
According to Bowers, it had everything to do with wanting to live in Nashville. While he grew up in Napa, CA, Bowers played his college football in Georgia and has gotten comfortable living in the south. Plus, what's not to like about living in Music City for a 21-year-old star football player?
I came away from press conferences with both Ran Carthon and Brian Callahan feeling like adding offensive weapons was going to be what Tennessee prioritizes most this offseason. The Titans want to give Will Levis the playmakers he needs to succeed and ideally could add some weapons that will be around for many years.
With the seventh overall pick in the draft, it's easy to draw a straight line from the Titans to one of the elite wide receiver prospects in this draft class. I still think that's the most likely scenario for Tennessee in the first round.
But playmakers come in all shapes and sizes. In this case, it's a 6'4", 240-pound monster that is dangerous after the catch. That could be enough reason for the Titans to snag Bowers at 7.
