The Titans have signed undrafted free agent CB Morgan Burns from Kansas State. Who is Morgan Burns you ask?
Morgan Burns (5-11, 201) owns Kansas State record 4 career kickoff returns for TDs & was Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year. #Titans

This from his draft profile at NFL.com:
Do not get this twisted. Morgan Burns will come into the league as a kick return specialist who will likely need to sell a team on his ability to be a fifth cornerback. At this point, Burns' erratic coverage and tackling will could get him torched on the NFL level, but his talent as kick returner could earn him instant playing time. Burns may benefit from taking some camp reps as a running back as a stash spot for roster flexibility.
This is going to be a guy to watch closely in the preseason. If he is going to make this team it is going to be for the impact he can potentially have on special teams.
The addition of Burns brings the Titans roster to the maximum of 90 players.
