A few observations from watching Tennessee Titans rookie minicamp.
NASHVILLE — JC Latham, T'Vondre Sweat, Cedric Gray, and the rest of the Tennessee Titans 2024 got their first taste of professional football on Friday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park.
Callahan contributed to the design of this custom sled, which mimics a defensive lineman's stance and leverage points upon contact. The offensive lineman sled weighs around 320 pounds at its base and has shoulder pad chest plates for grabbing. Linemen must lift and climb the sled to simulate blocks and improve their footwork and hip movement. It allows players to practice various blocks.
"Some of the old school sleds, they don't really give you that same balance issue," Bill Callahan said. "And they're really hard to move. I can't tell you how hard those things are to move and to move straight because they tip and they're off balance. They're meant to really stress guys' ability to strengthen their core, keeping their hands tight and be able to drive a sled vertically as opposed to getting all off kilter.
"A lot of areas to improve in, the speed of the game and just being ready to go every single play," Latham said. "But it was really fun. I really enjoyed myself."Even without a jersey number, it would not have been hard to identify Sweat from the group of 45 football players on the field. Standing tall at 6'4" and weighing 366 pounds, Sweat moves like a much lighter man. His impressive athleticism was on full display as he effortlessly glided through various drills.
