Tennessee Titans – Corey Davis

Despite three wide receivers being selected in the top ten of the 2017 NFL Draft, none have made the immediate impact that so many had expected or hoped. But the highest selection of the group, Titans wide receiver Corey Davis, could be primed to break out with a new regime in Tennessee.

By the time Corey Davis had finished his career at Western Michigan, he had become the most productive receiver in FBS history. And as the draft process rolled on, Davis’ stock rose higher and higher, culminating in the Titans taking him with the fifth overall selection.

While the Titans planned on Davis being an immediate weapon for Marcus Mariota, Davis battled ankle and hamstring issues throughout the season, and ended the regular season with just 34 receptions and no touchdowns. Davis ended the season on a positive note, however, catching two touchdowns in Tennessee’s Divisional round loss to New England.

New head coach Miek Vrabel brought in former Rams’ offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur to run the Titans’ offense and they’re hoping his success with the LA offense in 2017 could lead to more opportunities for Davis. If he can stay healthy, Davis should have a great sophomore season.
