Are the Titans likelier to draft a RB than we realize?.
The Tennessee Titans are showing a lot of interest in running back prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Tennessee Titans appear well-stocked at the running back position. General manager Ran Carthon replaced Derrick Henry by signing Tony Pollard in free agency to pair with Tyjae Spears. Pollard and Spears project as an effective one-two punch. So why are the Titans showing so much interest in running back prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft?

We know approximately 10 of Tennessee’s 30 pre-draft visits. Two of them are mid-round running backs. The Titans are slated to host, or already hosted, Marshall running back Rasheen Ali, per Dane Brugler, and USC running back MarShawn Lloyd, per Antonio Morales.
Paying close attention to head coach Brian Callahan’s statements may reveal why the Titans continue to do extensive homework on running back prospects despite having two capable starters on the roster. Callahan spoke about the “division of labor” undergoing change at the running back position in recent years. What that division of labor looks like between Pollard and Spears is an ongoing process, and probably still will be when September arrives.
