When he met the Nashville media for the first time, recently acquired cornerback L’Jarius Sneed declared himself “a hell of a player.” The personal assessment came off as well-earned confidence as opposed to blustery arrogance and given his play for the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years, it is easy to understand why he feels that way. … The pairing of Sneed and free-agent addition Chidoe Awuzie gives the Titans a well-matched pair of cornerbacks who will attempt to create a clear identity under new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. … With those cornerbacks and free-agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley, general manager Ran Carthon and his staff addressed two of the team’s biggest offseason positional needs. Offensive line still needs obvious attention, likely with the first-round pick in this year’s draft. But what other position or positions should the Titans address in the 2024 NFL Draft. … The Titans are not the only AFC South team that made a big change recently. Days after the Sneed deal, the Houston Texans acquired wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a trade with Buffalo. That made an already good offseason for the Texans even better, but the good news for the Titans is that Sneed has a history of keeping Diggs in check.
“A Hell of a Player”
Newly acquired cornerback L'Jarius Sneed made a good first impression with the Nashville media with his confidence -- not to be mistaken for arrogance -- and a good sense of how he fits in and what he can do for Tennessee's defense. A subsequent deal by one of the Titans' division rivals, it seems that Sneed's arrival could not have been better-timed.
