NASHVILLE- TCU's Quintin Johnston is considered the top wide receiver in the 2023 NFL Draft class, so it should come as no surprise the Tennessee Titans and every other team are interested in him.    

Standing 6'3"and 208 lbs, Johnston posted a 4.46 forty time during his TCU pro day on Thursday in Fort Worth. That time, along with his 40.5" vertical and 11' 2" broad jump, likely solidified his top ranking. 

In an interview with the NFL Networks Jane Slater, following his Thursday workout, Slater stated the Titans had shown interest in the wideout, who, when potentially pared with Treylon Burks, would elevate the Titans receiving corps immediately. 

 While there are no guarantees that Johnston will still be available to the Titans at No.11 or that they won't choose to select a player at another position, his physical abilities would be hard to pass up for a team in desperate need of an upgrade at that position.        

The son of two military parents, Johnston also appears to possess a higher level of maturity and, based on all available information, is a high-character individual with a stellar reputation.  

The Titans have also been tied to Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tennessee's Jalin Hyatt, and Cincinnati's Tyler Scott of late.   

When comparing this group of receivers, they are all of varying heights but possess great hands and elite speed for their size. Something head coach Mike Vrabel has stressed the team is looking to add in this draft class. 

The Titans could decide to grab a receiver in the first or another position, but it's safe to say that if they do not go there at No.11, if one of these names is still on the board at No. 41, the Titans will likely bite there, though it's very doubtful Johnston will be of them.
