A little over a year ago, fourth-round pick Cedric Gray was a rookie linebacker who seemed poised to get a lot of playing time with the Tennessee Titans. Similar to 2025 rookies like Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, Gray was a Day 3 value pick who seemed to possess an easy path to playing time. Unfortunately, injuries sidelined him during training camp, and he never got a chance to build the momentum he needed to push for a starting job.
Gray has had better injury luck this year, and he has been praised by the coaching staff whenever the linebacker group is being discussed.
