Nebraska WR Isaiah Neyor on pre-draft conversations: 'Tennessee Titans stick out to me'
The Tennessee Titans' front office has talked about turning over every stone searching for a quarterback. The same thing can be said about the wide receiver position as well.
After watching Nick Westbrook-Ikhine depart for the Miami Dolphins, the Titans are relatively thin at wide receiver beyond Calvin Ridley and could use multiple playmakers at the position.
Recently, on the "Up & Adams Show," Kay Adams spoke to Nebraska wide receiver Isaiah Neyor about his pre-draft journey. When asked which teams have stood out to him during the process, the Titans came up in the conversation.
'Just recently I spoke to the (San Francisco) 49ers, I spoke to the (Cincinnati) Bengals and the Titans, I think the Titans kind of stick out to me the most,' Neyor said.
Neyor is an interesting height/weight/speed developmental prospect who could offer late-round value. At 6-foot-3, 222 pounds, he has had a winding path to this point, playing for Wyoming, Texas, and Nebraska. Hampered by injuries and transfers, he is unrefined and will need time to fully develop his route-running abilities.
More productive early in his college career at Wyoming, he is a big target with 4.44 speed to challenge defenses vertically. However, his limited route tree and on-field inconsistencies caught up with him at Texas and Nebraska. But with the natural size and explosiveness you cannot teach, he could be worth a late-round flyer.

Titans' Simmons says his shove of Ward was simply flared tempers and blown out of proportion
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons defended shoving the Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward at the end of practice Monday and accused outsiders of blowing up tempers flaring at a hot training camp practice. The No. 1 overall draft pick, wearing a red non-contact jersey, was celebrating a touchdown throw in a red-zone drill when he put a hand on Simmons, who reacted by shoving Ward. Simmons was escorted off the practice field, not talking to reporters until the end of Tuesday's practice. 'At the end of the day, you know can't touch a quarterback," Simmons said. "We at a joint practice and somebody touch our quarterback, trust me I'm going to be the first one in. So I respect the (expletive) out of the offense for having ... our quarterback back.' Simmons said it was all left on the field and that he would take only football questions. Ward is scheduled to talk after Wednesday's practice. Titans coach Brian Callahan said assistant coaches are asked to take a player off the field if tempers get hot and cool them down. Practice ended two plays later, and Callahan said his conversations with Simmons and Ward were between them. 'It was a training camp push and shove and a little bit of loud barking, and that was pretty much it for me,' Callahan said. "It's late August, and we're ready to go play some real football.' ___ AP NFL:
