Potential Titans draft pick is already drawing comparisons to Tyreek Hill

It’s anyone’s guess where the Tennessee Titans are going to go with the seventh overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Offensive tackle Joe Alt is still the betting favorite, but the Titans could have an opportunity to add a game changing offensive weapon to their receiving corps.

LSU wide out Malik Nabers, who is a candidate to land in Tennessee, is already drawing comparisons to future Hall of Fame wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

“I think Malik Nabers could be more explosive and dynamic,” said NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay on the God Bless Football podcast. “I think he's the closest thing to Tyreek Hill that we've seen a long time coming out of the draft in terms of that explosiveness.”

Nabers can take the top off the defense. He is probably the best separator in the draft and can lineup anywhere on offense. His 4.35 second 40-yard dash at LSU’s Pro Day is a testament to that. So are his 89 receptions, 1,569 yards, and 14 touchdowns in 2023.

This is a wide receiver who is explosive in every way with very rare positional versatility. That is exactly why I feel so confident that he’s going to make the transition to the NFL easy.

It’s also why I think the Titans would jump at an opportunity to draft him. Brian Callahan wants guys who score touchdowns. And he can never have enough explosive weapons for Will Levis.

If Nabers is there at 7, I think he’ll be the Titans pick. But I’m not sure how realistic it is to think he’ll still be on the board.
