Titans' Mike Borgonzi talks Senior Bowl and the 'Cabinet'
The new Tennessee Titans front office has descended on Mobile, Alabama and the Senior Bowl to meet with some of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. While the braintrust was sighted on the sidelines and on the field during drills, reporters caught up with new general manager Mike Borgonzi and posed some interesting questions about the game and the environment. The @seniorbowl is important for the Titans draft process for two key reasons, via new GM Mike Borgonzi: – interviews – competition — AtoZ Sports Nashville (@AtoZSports) January 28, 2025 'A big part of it is the interview process, which we started last night,' he said. 'Looking for guys to compete, and going against best of the best out there,' The Senior Bowl is a tremendous event and will give the Titans exposure to a bunch of prospects that could end up on their draft board. For a team that needs to retool its roster, this is extremely important. With a new front office in place, there were also questions about the structure and the number of voices that would be involved with decision-making. Titans GM Mike Borgonzi talks about how many cooks the Titans have in the kitchen — AtoZ Sports Nashville (@AtoZSports) January 28, 2025 'Different ideas, we don't all think alike. We come from different backgrounds, but we all speak the same language.' He said, 'The more smart people we can get in here with good ideas, the better.' On top of Borgonzi, head coach Brian Callahan, and president Chad Brinker, the Titans just brought in experienced personnel men Dave Ziegler and Reggie McKenzie for different roles. If they can utilize this influx of experience in the right way, the Titans are poised to improve from their 3-14 season rather quickly.

Titans' Mike Borgonzi on QB mentality: 'some guys have it'
The draft preparations are in full swing and the new Tennessee Titans braintrust is out looking for roster upgrades. New general manager Mike Borgonzi just left the East-West Shrine Bowl and is now at the Senior Bowl meeting with prospects. On Tuesday, he spoke on a specific trait he is looking for in a quarterback. Titans GM Mike Borgonzi on QB mentality: 'some guys have it' — AtoZ Sports Nashville (@AtoZSports) January 28, 2025 'Some guys have 'it', they are cool (or) calm under pressure – that's what Pat was,' he said 'I've had a good view of that for a while.' Borgonzi was indeed spoiled by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, just as head coach Brian Callahan was spoiled by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, but the question is does any quarterback in this class have the 'it' factor. After a miserable 2024 where neither Will Levis nor Mason Rudolph proved to have 'it', the Titans are in search of an upgrade at the position. Tennessee spent a lot of time with Shedeur Sanders at the East-West Shrine Bowl and will have to find time to meet with Cam Ward, the other top quarterback option, to see what makes them tick. One thing is certain as this process begins: This front office knows what they are looking for in a quarterback. They just may not find it this offseason.
