Titans rookie RB Hassan Haskins proving to be special teams difference-maker

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Hassan Haskins was expected to make a first-year contribution. It’s just occurred under different circumstances. Haskins has been an excellent special teams player despite barely being involved via a traditional backfield role.

The No. 131 overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Haskins led the Titans with four special teams tackles against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Haskins became the first Titan to record four-plus special teams tackle in a single contest since former Titan Matthias Farley achieved the same feat last season. Perhaps more notably, Haskins became Tennessee’s first offensive player with four stops on coverage units since tight end Craig Stevens matched that number in 2009, per the team.
