PrintThe undrafted free agents are starting to be signed, and I'll keep updating this as we find out which UDFAs the Titans have signed.
- Stafon Johnson / Running Back / USC Trojans (source)
He had 157 yards in four games in 2009, but that was due to a life threatening injury when a 257 lb barbell fell on his neck, crushing most of his vocal chord and Adams apple. He led the team with five touchdowns in four games before he was injured. His best years were his sophomore and junior years, where he accumulated 673 and 705 yards, respectively, despite backing up Joe McKnight.
- Kevin Matthews / Offensive Linesman / Texas A&M Aggies (source)
The main story with this pick will be the fact that he is the son of former Titan Bruce Matthews son, but he can play. According to CBS, he was the 7th best center in the draft. He was a member of the 2009 watch list for the Rimington Trophy, given to the nation's top center.
- William Rose / Fullback / Florida Atlantic Owls (source)
Rose was ranked as the 10th best fullback in the draft. He is from the same school as our 6th round pick, quarterback Rusty Smith.
- Gerald Harris / Tight End / Mississippi Rebels (source)
He's had 8 receptions for 85 yards and 4 touchdowns in his career. That's it.
- Nick Howell / Offensive Tackle / USC Trojans (source)
He was ranked as the 16th best OG in the country according to CBS, and he's former Oiler Pat Howell's son.
- Mico McSwain / Wide Receiver / UNA Lions (source)
McSwain is 26 years old and transferred from Ole MIss due to problems with academics. He is apparently very athletic, according to this draft site he can run, pass, kick, and play safety.
- Bobby Sewall / Wide Receiver / Brown Bears (source)
He was named the 1st team All-Ivy League during his sophomore and junior years, and is recognized as the most versatile athlete in the Ivy League, playing running back, quarterback, and receiver for the Bears. We've got to have the smartest team in the NFL after this draft.
- Dominique Lindsay / Running Back / East Carolina Pirates (source)
- Patrick Trahan / Linebacker / Mississippi Rebels (source)
He was named 4th team All-SEC. Against Vandy in October, the undersized OLB he registered 11 tackles and 2 sacks.
- Kenny Alfred / Center / Washington St. Cougars (source)
From WSU's SB Nation blog: "He was the best player on the team (not saying a ton), but he was also a heck of a leader and mentor to everyone. He loves the game and has a passion for playing. As far as skills on the field, he’s underrated as a center. He can block, make line calls, and make sure the line is in the right places (though our line last year doesn’t show that). He was probably underrated due to the team he played on and last year he was really the only lineman worth his weight on the team. What you got it a very intelligent center with a good locker room presence and some skills on the field to go with it. He is ranked as the 10th best center in the country by CBS. He started 44 games, including 29 straight games to end his college career."
- LeGarrette Blount / Running Back / Oregon Ducks (source)
This is a big one! Blount originally signed with the 49ers, but he felt he had more of a shot over in Tennessee, with our limited running backs. You probably remember Blount from the incident where he punched Boise State player Byron Hunt and was suspended 10 games. In 2008, his last full season, he rushed for 1,002 yards and 17 touchdowns. I find this signing surprising considering the Titans have been all about character guys this draft, and Blount has an obvious temper problem, with the punching incident as well as a previous suspension for skipping team meetings. Blount was projected as a 4th to 5th round draft pick before the draft and a 1st to 2nd round pick before the punch, so if he stays out of trouble he's a steal
- Joe Joseph / Defensive Tackle / Miami Hurricanes (source)
Joesph was selected as an All Atlantic Coast Conference Honarable Mention. He only had 28 tackles during his senior year, his career high.
- Steven Pfahler / Tight End / Montana Grizzlies (source)
Another one of Coach Fisher's son's teammates at Montana, Pfahler had 71 receptions for 805 yards and 5 touchdowns in his career.

Wouldn't be surprised to find he's a decent contributor after a few years on the Scout team.

hi-res
This is the lid of a coffin. One side is covered with dirt, and one side is covered with scratches. From this, you conclude that somebody must've really wanted to get their hands on the dirt that was inside that coffin.

Stafon
After watching what I could find on You Tube, Stafon Johnson look selusive as hell. It also seems he returned some punts as well. Bonus!
LeGarrette Blount>Stafon Johnson
Just saying.
Jason Heyward and Eddie Pleasant exert great force upon the objects that they encounter in their respective lines of athletic competition.

Does anyone know if he can speak
It seems he damaged his vocal chords in the accident, but have they been completely fixed?
Also, now 2 of our 3 RBs are named Johnson

Silent but deadly?
Could be a good nickname. Glad to see the guy at least getting a shot in the NFL.
It hurts me to even think about it!!
How long ago did this happen?

Im really excited about...
this coming up year with the draft picks that we got and some of these undrafted free agents also. On Stafon Johnson he seems like a great kid and I hope he can somehow come in and help out alot, possibly back CJ up. I think he can do it. I seen some highlights on him he seems to have good vision and also looks elusive, here is the story on him recovering from the injury for those who haven’t seen it Click Here
By the way im new here, love the site!
welcome to the site glad to have you here

Congratulations on a high-character draft
If my Chargers hadn’t taken Darrell Stuckey in round 4, I would’ve loved to have the Rolle Model in a Bolts uniform. Stafon Johnson is a great pickup too— although, do you see him making the team?
Oh. And there’s Derrick Morgan— yikes. Hope we can avoid him for most of his career.
Yup, I'm the nut who believes Mark Loretta is a possible future Hall of Famer.
Now that I think about it
I think the sketchiest player still on the Titans roster is …. wow I can’t even think of one (although VY would have made the list a couple years back). I really feel like this team could be special .. if not this year then the next.

Stafon Johnson’s a good guy. He put himself in the doghouse with the SC coaches his first year for not trying and complaining, and he completely turned himself around. He’s a good running back, and he doesn’t want for willpower. The doctors who treated him after his throat was crushed said that anyone not as strong wouldn’t have lived long enough to get to the hospital, and he worked his way back from that too.
Long story short, he’s a great kid, I’m really pleased he was able to catch on with the Titans, and if he plays like SC fans know he can, you all are going to be pleased with him.
Patrick Trahan
Does anybody know if we for sure have Pat Trahan on the roster? – I’m a rebel fan and this guy was just beginning to tap into his potential – Undersized, but nasty…
Talk about Storylines!
It looks like we have every player that made off-field headlines in college the past few years…
Rhodes Scholar, crushed throat, plus puncher mcgee… plus all these other guys… it’s time to get all hyped up again!
Any chance we keep 4 RB? We are going to have a beastly ground game…like always. Not even Mount Moobs and the ratbirds can stop us!!!
by danomite on Apr 25, 2010 7:48 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
It depends on special teams play and the ability to play both RB and FB.
Q. Ganther kept himself on the team, and in the League, for years and years based on the fact that he could play a variety of special teams positions and RB and FB. Most of the times he was active, it was in relief of Sarge. So, bottom line, any of these guys that want to make the team need to learn all of the Special Teams positions that they can AND they need to learn to play FB as well as Tailback.
Because we already have a Top 5 RB that none of them, not even J. Ringer, is gonna push for playing time. So they need to be prepared to spell the guys on the roster and contribute in other ways.

BTW, Ganther is still in the League, and if he's cut elsewhere, I'd expect to see him back here...
…as the Reserve FB once again.

I've been a titan since the start
but an oregon duck my whole life, so too see us get blount is so much more then epic for me!!!! Ive seen him play everyone of his games, go chek the highlights, my boy is no joke.
""The truth can be tuffer den the times, my reminda my peaple to shoulder" give thanks and praise!"
you aint't kiddin'
THis guy can ball (and brawl too evidently) Let do this dude do the goal line dirty work and prolong CJ’s career. Smash and Dash 2 in 2010!!
Heres how I think the positions will end up.
QB- Vince Young, Chris Simms, Rusty Smith practice squad. Collins gets cut
RB- We will keep four. Chris Johnson, Javon Ringer, Stafon Johnson, LeGarette Blount
FB- Ahmard Hall
WR- Kenny Britt, Justin Gage, Nate Washington, Damian Williams, Lavelle Hawkins, Edison
TE- Scaife, Cook, Stevens
G- Harris, Scott, Durand
T- Roos, Stewart, Kropog, Otto
C- Amano, Matthews
DE- Morgan, Hayes, Ford, Babin, Ball
DT- Brown, Jones, Marks, Haye—— The 7th round draft pick gets practice squad
LB- Tulloch, Witherspoon, McRath, Curran, Keglar, Trahan—- Thornton cut
CB- Finnegan, McCourty, Mouton, Verner, Hill, Hood
S- Griffen, Hope, Johnson, Rolle—- Nickey is gone
P- Kern
Kicker- Bironas
LS- Amato
What do you guys think?? What changes would you make? I dont have my practice squad completed..
i would have damian as the immediate number 2 receiver
the kid can ball, he was a steal for us.

I doubt Nickey gets cut (unless there has been some news I haven't heard)
He hasn’t been a very effective safety, but he has been a solid special teams player. If I’m not mistaken, he was named a captain last year for special teams play.(?) Besides, if nothing else we can have him and Blount fight for entertainment purposes.
i totally agree except i see that marc mariani guy possibly making it instead of hawk or edison.
hear that he is a really solid steal in the 7th. just don’t know that hawk has anything to give us. i know a lot of people will disagree, but i would say that we should try putting justin gage on the trading block for a position in depth. that way we arent forced to cut two younger guys with a lot of potential. if nothing else, they are good depth recievers in my opinion. also although i like your depth chart, i don’t see this really happening mainly cuz their are so many players on here that are rookies. we never add that many rookies onto the final roster.
Well Usually we dont add this many rookies....
But with a VERY strong draft class full of draftees that can play, we might just keep a lot of rookies
blount highlights

with the punch
""The truth can be tuffer den the times, my reminda my peaple to shoulder" give thanks and praise!"
that highlight video
showed Blount running out of the shotgun spread formation Oregon is always using.
I know this is wishful thinking on my part, but maybe the Titans are going to implement more offensive spread formations this year, and thought Blount would compliment that offense more . It would help having him because he is familiar being in that type of offense.
Blount
For a big dude, he tends to tip-toe a lot. Don’t get me wrong, when he wants to lower his shoulder he can certainly bring the pain. But he seems to be suffering from Ron Dayne syndrome. Maybe it was due to the system he was running in but hopefully he realizes how big he is and runs like a man of his stature, With that said, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to tackle him
Finally!
We have a load of REAL talent to choose from, the best will make the roster and the others will make the practice squad in case someone gets hurt!
like where we're going
matthews has me excited, as well as blount when he’s no pretending to be kimbo
REAL SOVIET DAMAGE!!!

All these kids are still unproven talent in the NFL
but after a pretty pathetic off season, my faith in the front office was once again restored after seeing all these pick ups + a solid draft class. As long as Morgan, Verner and either Johnson or Rolle live up to their potential then we will have plenty of depth at WR, RB and Special Teams. So excited to hear about how that RB battles goes in camp!
Really rooting for Stafon Johnson but if Blount can get over his character issues then wow. We will really have a true #2 to spell CJ. Just worried about pairing up CJ and his new found cockyness with a hot head like Blount. It’s going to be a good year to be a Ttians fan.

How about Cortland Finnegan and Michael Roos? Ever heard of them?

Adrian Peterson just fumbled again.
Nope
They went to Sanford and Eastern Washington. Two programs at the same level as Montana that both have drastically less succesful football programs than Montana.
So is your bias just against Montana?

And by "Sanford" I mean "Samford" of course.
