Mike Borgonzi likes special LB for Titans in draft for Robert Saleh

The Tennessee Titans are just eight days away from being presented with a prime opportunity to address their need for an inside linebacker in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Titans aggressively addressed their needs at wide receiver, defensive tackle as well as cornerback in free agency with the signings of Wan’Dale Robinson, John-Franklin Myers as well as Cor’Dale Flott respectively. However, the Titans’ need for an off-ball linebacker prevails prior to the draft.

According to ESPN’s Turron Davenport, Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi stated at his pre-draft press conference on Thursday that coach Robert Saleh’s prior success coaching inside linebackers in the NFL has given the front office confidence that the prospect they take at the position in the draft will succeed in Tennessee, while highlighting an unnamed player of note.

Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles is often projected to go to the Titans at No. 4 overall on draft day. Styles’ intangibles, as well as his superior athletic ability, have lifted him into being regarded as one of the top overall prospects in this year’s draft class.

Styles has the potential to be on the board when the Titans go up to select for the first time in the draft. Styles, along with Texas Tech outside linebacker David Bailey, Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr., as well as Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, are the primary names to watch as the Titans go on the clock next week at No. 4 overall.
