NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans aren’t immediately tabbing No. 8 overall pick Jack Conklin as their right tackle, leaving open the possibility he could press Taylor Lewan for the left tackle post.
No matter the alignment, the two players are the team’s bookends now: A newcomer from Michigan State and the 11th pick from 2014 out of Michigan obligated to protect Marcus Mariota and make room for DeMarco Murray.
And the hope is that Conklin’s attitude is contagious for the entire line. Lewan spoke plenty prior to last season about leading a tough, nasty line that would finish defenders.
