A thread on the #Titans selections of Kristian Fulton ( @Kriss1_) & Darrynton Evans ( @ItzLiveee). I give the Titans an A+ for these picks. I got to have some excellent discussions with both of these players a few weeks ago. Let's take a deep dive into my impressions of them....
First thing with Fulton, people may question his character after his situation a few Yrs ago. Part of his job in 2019 was to take on a leadership role for @LSUfootball. UNDEFEATED, National Champ. I think he took a HUGE step forward as a mature leader. Something changed in him.
He's an excellent communicator. LSU STRESSES communication. Going to be a nice fit alongside @KB31_Era, @KennyVaccaro4, @AdoreeKnows, @Mac_BZ and company.
The NFL is a MAN coverage league. If you can't play press, get outta here. Fulton played press 90% of the time at LSU. Greatness was expected of him on a weekly basis. Believe me, LSU holds their guys accountable.
By the way, he EMBRACES the challenge of playing press man. It's me against you, may the best man win.
The NFL is very much a match-up league, and LSU consistently tasked him with being able to identify those advantages on tape. Excellent preparation for the NFL.
I came into this interview not knowing if I was gonna bring up his off-the-field situation. I didn't know if he'd be comfortable. I was VERY IMPRESSED that he decided to bring it up to me. He took the same approach throughout his meetings. Surely this wasn't lost on NFL teams.
The NFL is a different animal, but going up against that historic LSU O in practice prepared him for the next level like no other NCAA experience can IMO. Chuckled about Burrow tearing them up in practice.
"You're getting the ultimate competitor. I’m a lock-down CB. I’m gonna come into the locker room & work to make everybody better. I’m gonna be involved in the community. I’m gonna do things the right way. I’m gonna help bring a championship to our team." I believe you, @Kriss1_
Onto Darrynton Evans ( @ItzLiveee) now. The PERFECT compliment to @KingHenry_2. Ideal outside zone runner. Excellent change-of-direction ability. Incredibly elusive, dynamic & explosive. Such a good, natural receiver. Expect the Titans to use him in the passing game A LOT.
From a two-star recruit to a two-time Sun Belt Championship Game MVP, MVP of the 2019 New Orleans Bowl, two-time All-Sun Belt First Team & Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year in 2019. He wasn't interested in discussing the past. Solely focused on the future. I loved that.
How does he describe his running style? Sign me up.
Future @Titans KR/PR? He sure hopes so. They could use one. He's always looking for the big play. Fits the Titans offensive philosophy so well.
#TitanUp & #TitansDraft, you should be very excited about these two players. They're perfect fits for the organization in every aspect. Thank you for reading. #NFLDraft | #NFLDraft2020
