Overview
- Keldric Faulk has signed a standard four‑year rookie contract with a team option for a fifth year, completing deals for all eight of the Titans’ 2026 draft picks and leaving the club with 91 players under contract.
- Faulk was taken at No. 31 after Tennessee traded up into the back of Round 1 to grab the Auburn edge, a slot he reached after sliding from earlier top‑10 projections following a down junior season.
- At about 6‑foot‑6 and 274–275 pounds, Faulk profiles as a hybrid edge who is stronger as a run defender than as a pure pass rusher but shows developmental pass‑rush tools.
- Faulk was in uniform and participated as a defensive end during the first OTA open to media, beginning his on‑field integration with the team ahead of mandatory minicamp.
- His arrival completes a retooled edge group that includes Jermaine Johnson and John Franklin‑Myers and gives coaches a chance to test how Faulk can complement interior star Jeffery Simmons and improve Tennessee’s pass rush.
