Titans consider signing NFL Hall of Famer's son image

The Tennessee Titans are seeking to bolster their offense after a game in which they scored exactly zero points.

Their workout list from Tuesday featured a boatload of offensive players.

This was the full group of offensive players who worked out for the Titans this week:

  • QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson
  • QB Ben Wooldridge
  • WR Lance McCutcheon
  • WR Elijah Cooks
  • WR Brenden Rice
  • TE Marshall Lang
  • K Zane Gonzalez
  • K Dustin Hopkins
  • K Greg Joseph
  • K Matthew Wright

The name that stands out is Brenden Rice.

He's the son of Jerry Rice, the greatest wide receiver of all time.

The Titans haven't signed Rice to this point, but they got a good look at him and could always consider signing him at a later point.

The Chargers took Rice in the seventh round in 2024 after he split his college career between Colorado and USC.

As a rookie, Rice played in three games. He totaled three offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps.

He didn't catch a pass or record a tackle as a rookie before being placed on injured reserve in November.

Rice was released by the Chargers after the preseason.

He's an intriguing talent at 6-foot-3 with a 4.50-second 40-yard dash and 36.5-inch vertical leap.

Maybe he'll soon have another NFL home.
