Titans reveal short list of players they would take at No. 1 in 2025 NFL Draft

More than 250 picks will be made in the 2025 NFL Draft, but the Titans must settle on just one player with the first overall pick.While Tennessee head coach Brian Callahan and general manager Mike Borgonzi say they don’t have it fully figured out, they’ve got their list narrowed down.“I think it’s a short list at No.1 for sure, it’s all the guys that I think are worthy of it, the ones that everyone talks about out there, and between Travis [Hunter] and Shedeur [Sanders] and Cam [Ward] and Abdul Carter, I think those are, that’s the top of the draft for me, those are the most elite players in the draft,” Callahan told NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.
