The Titans did not meet with Rashaan Evans outside of at the combine and at Alabama’s Pro Day. Before last night, Titans General Manager Jon Robinson had never drafted a player in the first round that wasn’t first brought to Nashville for a private pre-draft visit or workout.
ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe asked Robinson and Head Coach Mike Vrabel in Thursday night’s joint press conference if there was any strategy in not bringing Evans in for such a visit. Robinson’s answer:
We spent time with him at the combine, in the interview process, our position coaches spent a lot of time with him at the combine in the interview process, and then we spent an hour, hour-and-a-half with him down there in the film room after the pro day, and he checked all the boxes for us.
