Ex-Longhorn shines as top-graded NFL rookie at his position in preseason week 2

Current Tennessee Titans tight end and former Longhorns football standout, Gunnar Helm, had an excellent game against the Falcons in the second week of preseason.

He showed a great rapport with fellow rookie quarterback Cam Ward over the first few series of the game, making tough catches and continuously finding ways to get open at the second-level. Though Ward didn't have the most success when on the field, quite a few of his attempts were to Helm.

Helm led the team in pretty much every receiving category on Friday, finishing the game with 4 catches for 48 yards to go along with an incredible touchdown catch.
