Lots of stuff has happened in this off season and as you just heard we're going to have a lot of things to show you and tell you during the course of this program to get you up to speed but the first thing I think is probably how to run through the draft picks. Yeah we should probably introduce people to the newest Tennessee Titans. Okay so just to make sure you're up to speed here we go. Let's start in the first round with Virginia Tech defensive back Caleb Farley. The second pick for the Tennessee Titans, Dylan Radins who is an offensive tackle out of North Dakota State. Two third round picks we begin with the man taken at number 92 out of the University of Georgia, Monty Rice. And then there is Elijah Molden the defensive back out of Washington. In the fourth round the Tennessee Titans traded up to take Louisville wide receiver Des Fitzpatrick. And they also took Rashad Weaver an outside linebacker from Pitt. First of two sixth round picks Titans go to Louisiana State University for wide out racy mic math. And the Titans wrap up the draft with a safety out of Oregon Brady Breeze. Eight total draft picks the Titans got high draft grades everywhere and a big part of the reason for that the first round pick Caleb Farley. Absolutely and Mike had a chance to talk to the Titans first round pick. Let's go around the field with Caleb Farley. The Tennessee Titans select Caleb Farley defensive back Virginia Tech. Oh there you go. Welcome to Nissan Stadium. Can you describe what it's like to be and what is your new home? Man it's just extremely emotional you know I think it's right there just as emotional as draft night was coming out here and seeing the the graphic and smelling the grass it's just it's just getting me anxious to play football. What does it mean just being on a football field to Caleb Farley? That means everything to me you know that's that's been my life since I was six years old that's what I love to do I genuinely have a deep passion for it. I want to play for 25 years. Is it true that you really told your mom when you were seven years old that you would be an NFL first round pick? Absolutely absolutely that's always been my dream it's always been my goal. In 2017 first day of practice you tear up your knee. Non-contact no pads the whole thing your mom gets sick again you lose her all that happens in five months was there a period in there where you thought this dream that I have might go away? A part of my dream did go away you know during that I never once thought about quitting or or giving up my dreams of playing in NFL but my dream was to have my mom in the stands my dream was to take a ball tour but I'm still grateful because I have my father so it just brought us even closer together and it gave me a whole different perspective on life and I'm how to value and cherish each and every moment with your loved ones. There's some moms who are boy moms and they get what it's like to be a boy mom they love ball and they love cooking for you and they love spending time with you was she a typical boy mom? My mother was a typical boy mom and I was a typical mom's boy. As you're here now and you think about the whole journey the good the bad and the in between and you're looking at this beautiful place with your name on the jumbo tron welcome to Tennessee Caleb Farley how do you sort of pull it all together? You know it's a dream come true I have everything that I could ever ask for in a team to you know help me have success just meeting the coaching staff and talking with the training staff and and the hospitality everybody's shown it's so much more than I could have dreamed about even though I dreamed about it so big it's so much more and it just feels so good to be a part of something bigger than yourself and I'm just so so excited to be a part of this organization and this team. Okay so you've got the NFL ball but I got to get you to do something else okay that is a football that I have gotten every Titans first round pick to sign oh wow so from Maiden High School all the dreams you now get to join the list that's such an honor how about right below your defensive teammate Rashawn Evans Caleb Farley welcome to the Tennessee Titans thank you it's time to party we are live here this year's virtual draft party presented by Gibson featured analysis from Titans radio performances by Mitchell Tenpenny in moon taxi and a Titans alumni round table with running backs Eddie George Chris Johnson and defensive end Javon Curse a select number of season ticket members watched the party live from the Gibson garage and version hotel on Thursday April 29th this is Hunter from Richmond Virginia he says coach what are you the most excited about for this upcoming season same thing I am always is trying to build a team and build up build guys with new faces every year is different just getting excited to work with the players you know I never got into coaching to hang out with other coaches I got into coaching to help players and improve players and win glad to have you back with us in the Bet MGM studio and glad to have back with us in the Bet MGM studio Titans general manager John Robinson it's good to see you here again oh it's good to be back live in person Mike all right I want to talk about Caleb Farley who we've already met in this edition of Titans all access what separated Caleb Farley not just from the other cornerbacks but from the other players so that you decided to take him in the first round he had outstanding size speed athleticism he was a pretty guy to to evaluate on film with the production that he had and then the more that we talked to the staff and the coaches you know that had kind of touched him along the way there in his career at Virginia Tech just an outstanding guy that was committed to the team effort smart football player with a tireless work ethic Elijah Molden is another guy that you drafted what makes him unique what is he going to contribute to the secondary he's a versatile player you know he can he can play safety he can play outside corner he's played nickel he's tough he's dependable he's extremely smart one of our more impressive interviews he had watched three or four games of our defensive film from this past season and he commented about how he liked the way we used our nickel with blitzes with coverage concepts let's talk about receivers and I want to start in free agency you signed Josh Reynolds away from the Rams what you like about Josh Reynolds outstanding size um competitive player he's got this sneaky speed to him because he's such a longer taller player you don't think he's moving but then he's pulling past defensive backs he can play inside he can play outside really big catch radius for red zone opportunities and he's not afraid to go in there and dig out you know dig out a linebacker or safety in the running game as a blocker you drafted two wideouts racy mcmath and desvitz patrick other than the obvious wide receiver traits that they have was their size part of what set them apart yeah both of those guys had outstanding size and speed you know racy timed really really fast both of those guys the one thing that set those guys apart was their competitiveness their toughness both as blockers um both with the ball in their hands after the catch and racy on special teams you know he was a demon in the kicking game for coach odrian dot lsu you drafted in the second round an offensive lineman out of north dakota state by the name of dylan radens could have drafted a lot of lineman what set dylan radens apart really his size his athleticism his length uh his makeup his traits extremely competitive um had a great week down at the senior bowl uh you could see it in the practices you could see it in the game he was one of our interview guys down there and in mobile and was just an impressive guy to talk to he's about what we're about you know and with the offensive line and how they play stylistically and a really good fit and a guy that we think can really plug in at any four spots amy is going to visit with bud dupri later in this edition of titans all access and what i want to know is as you were going through free agency looking for an edge rusher what led you to bud dupri well i think he impacts the game you know at the end of the line of scrimmage you know whether it's the run game or the passing game pittsburgh moved him around a little bit and kind of played you know that joker position or buck position where you know he might line up on the guard he might line up and he rushes and he blitzes or he drops denico autry is a player that we're very familiar with from his time with the raiders and the colts he's listed as a defensive lineman but it's his versatility what makes him so appealing yeah i'm glad we don't got a block and we're playing with it rather than against him but you know he's a guy again that that you know he's he blinds up over over the guard i mean heck he played some nose tackle for indy sometimes you could stand him up you can play him over the tackle a really tough physical aggressive style to his play and a guy that again adds some versatility to the mix with that front for us john robinson it has been an exciting off season so far thanks for sharing the details to this point we look forward to visiting with you again thanks for having me in more titans all access coming your way after this on saturday march 20th the tennessee titans partnered with mayor john cooper and the metro health department to host a covid 19 mass vaccination event at nissan stadium the event distributed 10 000 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine one of the things we pride ourselves on is that we want to be committed to serve this community not just when we're entertaining fans on game day and some of the events that we've been able to host and sort of the projects we've been able to be a part of are really consistent with that you're in the bed mgm studio with titans all access this is amy wells i'm mike keith glad to have you rejoining us as we talk about a lot of the off season excitement with the tennessee titans and one piece of off season excitement news came really at the end of 2020 when the tennessee titans announced that nissan stadium is going to get a facelift in the years to come as a matter of fact it's going to be remade refreshed reimagined going to be really special moving forward but it's not just nissan stadium it's the entire east bank and mike you had a chance to sit down with some of the titans brass to talk about this big project in the titans huddle check this out gill beverly you have seen fan surveys absolutely you have been involved with the focus groups as you've heard this talk over the last four months what are you hearing from the fans well once it's a great sense of excitement people love nissan stadium they love the titans and the opportunity for an upgrade and see the evolution and for us to take everything to a new level i think had people you know really fired up but in terms of what people are looking for i think there are you know really three themes that emerged one is social you know it used to be in the old days that you went to a game you kind of filed into your seat and you just sat there and you just watched and you know the way stadiums have evolved now people want to be able to hang out a little bit more maybe i want to talk to a buddy who's not a different part of the statement i want to meet with them somewhere else and and hang out for a little bit or i want to be able to move around and and talk to different people instead of just sitting next to one person the second thing is food everyone loves food right so there's a desire to get more elevated food experiences in the building and to get more authentic nashville and then last but not least is entertainment we vision nissan stadium as the biggest stage in nashville so how do we put music all throughout the building how do we create spaces for other types of shows what does campus development mean in your mind and what do the titans kind of envision behind the campus development of nissan state we need to start by defining the real estate we're we're talking about so the uh the city has long referred to uh the the area where the stadium sits as the east bank the east bank is generally the area between the cumberland river and the highway that separates downtown from east nashville and edgefield and and casey and and our stadium sits in the kind of center of that of that area and for a long time the city has envisioned that that this area the east bank which is largely industrial would become something bigger more dynamic through multiple mayoral administrations we've been listening to to city planners about what they would like to see happening on the east bank and participating in that longer term bigger vision what types of buildings would be appropriate and what type of layout would be appropriate to inspire people to have this be a vibrant community to to live work and play we think based on all of our discussions that this area can be a fabulous place that will enhance the reputation of our city will enhance the reputation of tennessee uh and we want to be a part of that we want to help to bring that vision to life for more details about what's going on with the nissan stadium refurbishment and the development of the east bank make sure and visit tennessee titans dot com around the band amy well sits down with free agent outside linebacker bud dupri one of the newest titans that's next on titans all access but first mike vapor has another question and answer this one's from kenston in memphis tennessee he asks what is the best way for players to rest up and heal during the off season well some guys take longer than than others some guys have procedures after the season some guys have have some lingering issues that they need to continue to rehab some guys are probably a little fresher than others based on age and i think that's all part of the building your routine it's so important for us to be a part of the community on april third the tennessee titans partner with hands on nashville to assist with flood relief efforts we actually built a partnership a year ago during the tornado when the titans came in and said we want to help and we said great we can put you to work several titans employees helped clean up an area near suitor drive in nashville when our residents in the community are hurting and need help it is our responsibility to go out and be a part of that the tennessee titans thrilled their fans when it was announced early in free agency that they had agreed to terms with coveted outside linebacker bud dupri there's not much the university of kentucky grad can't do on the football field and in talking to our amy wells you see that his passion is the biggest reason that his motor never stops if you grew up in georgia you played at kentucky now here you are in tennessee how does it feel to be back many all feels greatly back in the south seems like a pipeline i had here you know high school ball college ball now i'm back in the titans so man it's uh it's always been a dream for me to play for the titans actually even though growing up my favorite team with no what's the falcons is being in georgia man but tennessee man has always been my not my favorite my favorite team other than that man you know a to george man the late mcnair man a lot of those the og guys this is a blessing to be able to just play for play for this organization now what is it about this titans defense right now that really appeals to you know the dbs man the dbs are tremendous you know they're doing great job man you know the inside linebackers it's i can go on and on about the defense man that they're making plays you know up front the big guys they have it through techniques and stuff too i also lander he does a great job too man that's a lot of moving pieces on this defense and uh you know they're coming together tremendous as we've seen over the last couple years seeing the growth of this organization and seeing the in the direction they're going i mean you couldn't be more excited for the program one of your future teammates is jeffrey simon someone that you've worked out with a little bit knowing his style of play knowing your own style of play how do you feel like you guys are going to fit together on the football field yeah definitely i can't wait to get clear so we can go back and start back around and then all season together along with the other guys man so we can really get a feel now that we know we're on the same team we can really work together despite of just i'm working at the same place you're working out let's get some working now it's a bigger goal now we're in the all season together as a whole you know that's the fun part about it being able to be in that in those type of environments with your teammates you know putting the pressure on each other man let's get better let's do this let's do this extra man let's make sure we let's make sure we're connecting the dots as a unit then it'll all be fun now you mentioned getting cleared your 2020 season was cut a little short due to injury but in the 11 games that you played you were able to get eight sacks that's a lot of sacks for 11 games tell me the uh bud dupery key to getting a sack man you know i'm a speed rush guy man i think it's a lot of times people on the speed you know uh when you over said speed you'll be able to turn it into power i'm a big guy so i like to do power moves as well and you know when it's crunch time you got to be able to put your pin your ears back and be able to get to the quarterback man it doesn't matter how you get to the quarterback in which way just make sure you get that but dupery he's gonna wear number 48 for the titans just like he did in pittsburgh when we come back you'll meet one of the newest titans whose first ever professional football game was at nissan stadium and it was a memorable one stay tuned to meet monnie rice that's next this one is from ashton in novaskosha he says coach what is one thing that you wish you had known when you began your career as a head coach you know i don't really know i mean i think that this there's going to be just a lot of things that you're going to have to deal with every day and you're going to have to keep your knees back keep your head on a swivel you know it's such a long season it's such a long process stick with the plan stick in what with what you believe in and and make the players believe in it they didn't leave a manual underneath the desk and you kind of just have to to do the things that you feel like are best for the football team we love it when we start to have players who join the tennessee titans who actually grew up titans fans and that happened in this draft class it did and mike nothing makes me more emotional when titans fans become titans but monty rice was a titans fan yeah we have a lot of fans in the huntsville alabama area shout out to north alabama we love you down there monty rice grew up in the huntsville area and had a chance to attend his first titans game nearly 12 years ago crazy crazy stuff as you look at the pictures of him in his titans garb let's remember the first game that he ever attended which was actually on november 29 2009 i contend it might be the best game ever played at nissan stadium tell me why they're playing the arizona cardinals the tennessee titans are they're behind late in the game they get the ball back at their own one yard line they don't need a field goal they need a touchdown and the titans miraculously drive 99 yards with a series of bizarre plays to get down the field and score to win they actually do it on the last play of the game ironically two first round picks vent young to kenny britt for the game winner with no time remaining and you think about that if you're monty rice and that's the first pro game you ever see you're going to be a fan your whole life yeah that that'll get you hooked that'll get you hooked on nfl football and so cool to now have him be a part of this organization and play his first nfl game in the same place that he saw his first nfl game monty rice one of the newest titans and we're excited for him and excited about what all is happening in this off season we've got a lot more coming up over the next few months our next edition of titans all access will be a training camp preview stay tuned and check your local listings for when that will be on in your area for amy wells i'm mike keith thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time
