Titans share great video of underdog players being told they made the roster

The Tennessee Titans have been giving an incredible amount of access to behind-the-scenes stuff this offseason, which is a far cry from the days of former head coach Mike Vrabel, who was as buttoned up as can be.

The latest example of this comes in the form of a recent video the team posted to social media that gave us an inside look into five roster underdogs being told by general manager Ran Carthon and head coach Brian Callahan that they made the team's initial 53-man roster.

The players included in the video are offensive linemen Andrew Rupcich and John Ojukwu, tight ends David Martin-Robinson and Thomas Odukoya, and linebacker and 2024 draft pick, James Williams.

All five of those players were no doubt underdogs to make the 53-man roster, and especially Williams and Martin-Robinson, both of whom are rookies. Williams was taken in the seventh round and Martin-Robinson was an undrafted free agent.

Rupcich and Ojukwu were both undrafted free agents in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and Odukoya had been on the practice squad the last few years after he was part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program in 2022.

Now, all five players will look to stick on the 53-man roster for the long haul and carve out a role for themselves during the 2024 season.

The start of the Titans' 2024 campaign is almost here. The Titans will open up their season on Sunday, Sept. 8, when they travel to Chicago to take on No. 1 overall pick and quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears.
