Josh Malone — Wide Receiver — Tennessee

While we’re talking about former Tennessee players, we might as well mention Josh Malone.

It’s no secret the Titans want to add a playmaking wide receiver.

Ideally, the Titans get their man in the first round (Mike Williams or possibly Corey Davis).

If they don’t (or even if they do, you can never have too many options) they should take a chance on former Vol wide receiver Josh Malone.

Malone has first round talent, but he doesn’t have a long history of production at the collegiate level. That’s why he will probably fall to the middle rounds.

Last season, however, Malone broke out in a big way. He caught 50 passes for 972 yards and 11 touchdowns, proving to be a consistent big play threat.

And a big play threat is exactly what Marcus Mariota and the Titans need in 2017 and beyond.
