The Texas Tech football program’s legacy of putting slot receivers into the NFL continues to grow in 2018. Already assured of seeing Keke Coutee make the Houston Texans’ roster after being taken in the 4th round of the 2018 draft, Tech has put a second rookie slot receiver into the NFL as Cam Batson has made the Tennessee Titans’ 53-man roster.
Batson appeared to be a long-shot for making an NFL roster after being passed over in April’s draft. But the 5-foot-8, 175-pound Oklahoma City product proved to be valuable for the Titans as he returned punts and kicks while also proving to be a weapon out of the slot in the preseason.
