Tennessee Titans invite explosive small-school wide receiver prospect to local Pro Day
Tennessee Titans invite explosive small-school wide receiver prospect to local Pro Day
The Tennessee Titans continue to build the roster of draft-eligible players who will attend their local Pro Day. While many of these players won't be household names, some may have a shot at being drafted or signed as undrafted rookie free agents.
Hailing from Oakland, Tennessee, Southeast Missouri State wide receiver Dorian Anderson is a player to watch.
A big-bodied receiver checking in at 6-foot-7 and 200 pounds, Anderson is coming off a breakout season in 2024, when he recorded 67 receptions for 1,011 yards and 12 touchdowns.
A small-school prospect, Anderson is a tremendous route runner who understands the nuances of creating separation and finding soft spots in the defense. Because of his size, he is a matchup problem in the red zone and has shown to be a consistent, explosive play threat against lower-level competition.
At this point, there are questions about his weight and physicality heading toward the 2025 NFL draft and whether his skills will translate against the considerable jump in competition he will face in the NFL.
With the Titans lacking depth at wide receiver, he could be on their radar late in the process.

New Coordinator Doesn't Mean Buccaneers Start Over For Baker Mayfield
New Coordinator Doesn't Mean Buccaneers Start Over For Baker Mayfield originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Baker Mayfield's career resurgence with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been nothing short of superb, and the addition of his third offensive coordinator in three years makes it even more impressive. Advertisement After going from Dave Canales, to Liam Coen, to now Josh Grizzard, Baker has had his fair share of changes since arriving in the NFC South, but this one might have the least amount of any. With Grizzard the passing game coordinator last season under Coen, the scheme isn't entirely new for Mayfield, and in a chat with CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, now it's all about the details. "I try not take take it for granted being in the same system since I am so used to learning new offenses," Mayfield said. "Now it's just about the details. We have a great group. We have everybody back and added some pieces in the skill group. That makes it easier. I took a lot more responsibility last year, and I am taking even more ownership of it. "When it comes to those checks at the line of scrimmage, it makes it a lot easier with the guys being back. They know when we get this blitz, and I am going to check to this play, it's second nature for them. When people don't have to think about it, it's a lot better." Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) talks with offensive coordinator Liam Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images So for once, Mayfield isn't starting from square one, with most of the offense and verbiage staying roughly the same. That means, as he states, that everyone can play faster, and in turn, this will lead to good things happening far more often. Advertisement Yes, there will be tweaks here and there, as Grizzard is a first-time play-caller, something he is working on during OTAs and mini-camp this week. Still, some might overlook that Mayfield and the offense aren't starting from scratch for a change. They know the nuts and bolts of it, which means more time can be spent ironing out the details of an offense they already understand. Some are sleeping on the Buccaneers in 2025 due to another coordinator change for Baker, but as we have just detailed, things won't be changing that much. So expect another good season from the defending NFC South champs despite the changes.

Andrew Billings hosts fourth annual football camp
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) — Andrew Billings is getting set to enter his eighth season in the National Football League, but before suiting up for the Chicago Bears he made sure to return home to Waco to hold his fourth annual Andrew Billings Football Camp. Giving a free opportunity for local kids to hone their skills with an NFL Veteran, but it's just as rewarding for Billings himself. 'It's really good to be back and doing it for the community,' Billings said. 'It's great for me because I get to have fun watching them out here running and stuff and to me that's the job.' Camps like these were not around when Billings was growing up but he vividly remembers a player for the New York Giants visiting Waco High when he was a high schooler, so he knows how much of an impact he can have on these young players. 'It would be important to me if I was a kid so I just try to take that and run with it,' Billings said. 'If I was in their shoes how would I like it because I would love to be out here with a defensive lineman from the NFL.' The goal of any camp like this is of course, to make sure everyone has fun but Billings is doing his best to make sure an afternoon like this one develops kids as a player and as a person. 'It's having fun and training for football but it's also communication,' Billings said. 'You got to work together, stay in line and have all these different activities and for the older kids the one on ones are important because a lot of them have aspirations to go to college and do various things with football and out of football.' The camp is a part of the Billings Find-a-Way Family Foundation that Andrew Billings made a point to start, and now it is enriching the community he grew up in. 'We've been doing bikes and books for a couple of years with various schools,' Billings said. 'It's something I always wanted to start and always thought about doing but didn't find a way until later in my career but once I did I'm doing it and I'm sticking with it.' Billings efforts in Waco aren't slowing down anytime soon because he is never losing sight of where home is. 'My life is tied around Waco,' Billings said. 'A lot of people in my life are from Waco so it's somewhere where I always have to come back and I always have to give back because it's given me so much.' Billings will now return to Chicago to prepare for training camp and the Bears week one matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jordan Davis Addresses New Role With Eagles
Jordan Davis Addresses New Role With Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jordan Davis has been a very important part of the Philadelphia Eagles over the last few years as the former first-round defensive tackle has worked as a run-stuffer. Advertisement As he gets set for an important fourth season with the franchise, though, he knows that the team will be expecting even more from him in 2025. A big reason? Philadelphia needs him to be more of a pass rusher than ever before. Ever since he came out of Georgia, Davis has been known as more of a run-stopping defensive tackle. He never showed much pass rushing prowess with the Bulldogs or in his first four seasons with the Eagles. That is about to change. … or so the Eagles hope. Speaking to reporters during Eagles voluntary workouts, Davis detailed how he was preparing himself to be more than just a first- and second-down run defender. Advertisement 'I'm getting into great shape and working hard and understanding the nuances of pass rushing,' Davis said. 'Not even just (coach) Clint Hurtt, but (teammate) Nolan Smith has been teaching me things. "When it's just stuff like that, learning stuff from different players and coaches, they want you to be your best at pass rush. They want you. They expect that from you." Davis had his fifth-year option picked up by the Eagles this offseason. … in anticipation of getting more from him. In his first three seasons with the team, he managed to record just 3.5 sacks. Philadelphia will need a jump up from a former first-round pick from that kind of production. Advertisement That is why Davis is doing everything he can to be in shape - physically and intellectually - for the long season ahead. If he can build off of last year's improvements as a rusher, he may be in for his best year yet.
