The Pro Day season is onto the third week amidst the frenzy of March Madness and Spring Training. Where did the Titans go and who did they see?
March 19
The Titans were seemingly everywhere on the 19th. They made a stop in Philly to take in the local eating scenery and check out Temple’s Pro Day

They sent some folks to Delaware as well, specifically DL coach / Suh Recruiter in Chief Terrell Williams to check out this dude:
Bilal Nichols of @DelawareFB performed well at his Pro Day, just as he’s done throughout the draft process. His tape speaks well of him too. Against VT, he was double teamed or chipped the entire game, but that didn’t stifle him from making some plays. pic.twitter.com/Jv6op1fQ1X

The Titans sent OC Matt LaFleur to Raleigh, NC to visit North Carolina State and witness things like Bill Belichick doing some future free agent recruiting on the sly.

So is the chronically underrated Justin Jones. He’s the real engine behind the Wolfpack star studded DL

GM Jon Robinson got into the Mike Vrabel act at Tennessee’s pro day. It’s awesome to see our GM get into the trenches and actually participate. Not many front office folks are willing to do this.

First up, Penn State

WR Daesean Hamilton is good. He could be a steal for someone.
Hey now. Penn State WR Daesean Hamilton just ran a 4.47 40-yard dash at PSU's Pro Day

DL Curtis Cothran is not just a Madden generated name. He’s pretty good. Keep an eye on him later in this post.

Next up, we take a visit to sunny Florida State to see how the new Seminoles head coach Willie Taggart is settling in a new home.
The Titans have 0 shot at picking Derwin James but miracles do happen

The Titans do have a shot at drafting EDGE Josh Sweat though and he looks good without the knee brace on.

Add Titans GM Jon Robinson and HC Mike Vrabel.
— Andrew Groover (@APGroover) March 21, 2018
Coach Vrabel was active during the drills AGAIN. I love this guy already. This has to be the most active GM and HC duo the NFL has seen in awhile.
#Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel hands on with Uchenna Nwosu. I could see him actually playing the weakside ILB as well as the drop in 3-4. #IWantAllTheTrojans #TitanUp #USCProDay pic.twitter.com/hASLhqwUHF

To the shock of everyone, Mike Vrabel nor Sonny Coombs were in attendance at Columbus. GM Jon Robinson was there along with assistant DL coach Ryan Crow
Former Ohio State graduate assistant Ryan Crow is among those here representing the Titans today. Was told that Mike Vrabel and Kerry Coombs would not be in attendance.
