2025 NFL draft: Tennessee Titans had Pro Day visit with Cal LB Teddye Buchanan
Team representatives and scouts meet with many players leading up to the 2025 NFL draft. These meetings can be formal or informal and can take place at All-Star games, the NFL Scouting Combine, during a Pro Day, or a top-30 visit.
Like every NFL franchise, the Tennessee Titans are gathering information on a lot of prospects that could make their way to the draft board. Zach Lyons reports that the Titans' scouts met with Cal linebacker Teddye Buchanan at his Pro Day.
Buchanan is a Day 3 prospect and may not be a household name, but does hold value for the team that selects him. A stout run defender, he is more cerebral than athletic and consistently wins with his intelligence. He does lack the athleticism to be a full-time starter in the NFL and could be a liability in man-to-man pass coverage, but he has the instincts and enough speed to read and react in zone.
He's a high-floor, low-ceiling prospect who could step in on Day 1 and be a core special teamer and work his way up into a depth role on defense.
The Titans are revamping their inside linebacker group and building it around free-agent acquisition Cody Barton. With three young inside linebackers already in the room, Tennessee could be looking to add depth and special teams value in the later rounds, and Buchanan fits that mold.

Saquon Barkley Dismisses Retirement Following Viral Remark

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Earlier this month, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley had the NFL world buzzing following comments about retiring. Ahead of the 2025 campaign, the superstar running back provided some assurances that he has a lot left in the tank. It's well documented that Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders is someone Barkley has long admired. While speaking with Chris Long on his Green Light podcast, he even hinted at ending his career abruptly similar to his idol. "I'll probably be one of those guys that it'll be out of nowhere. I'll probably just wake up one day, whether it's next year or two years or four years, and just be like, 'Yeah it's over,'" Barkley said. On Tuesday, the Eagles began their mandatory minicamp like numerous teams across the league. Following the first day's action, Barkley answered an array of questions from the media. As expected, his recent remarks about retirement came up. When asked about what he said on Long's podcast, the Eagles back let the world know that he is career isn't coming to a close anytime soon. "I don't plan on retiring anytime soon," Barkley told reporters Tuesday. Saquon Barkley: 'I don't plan on retiring anytime soon.' — Zach Berman (@ZBerm) June 10, 2025 This remark is music to the Eagles and their fans' ears, as Barkley has become a foundational piece of the franchise. Last season, he departed from the New York Giants to find a new home in the NFC East. Barkley's presence drastically raised the Eagles' ceiling, and was a major factor in them capturing the second Super Bowl in franchise history.

Saquon Barkley #26 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on prior to the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field on January 26, 2025 in Philadelphia, on what we saw last season, Barkley is still more than capable of playing at a high level in the NFL. He had a historic start to his Eagles tenure, rushing for over 2,000 yards in the regular season. Barkley then followed that up by leading the postseason in both rushing yards (499) and touchdowns (5). With the Eagles retaining most of their core, they are primed to be back in the title conversation in 2025. If they're going to repeat as champions, they can't have key contributors like Barkley already thinking about life after football. Luckily for them, he put to bed any notion of his retirement being on the horizon. If Barkley does plan on having a similar career arc as Sanders, he still has three years to go before the thought of retirement becomes real. In the meantime, he'll be looking to build off his career year in 2024 as he attempts to help Philly secure another championship.
