At first glance, it looks like the Tennessee Titans landed at least three rookie starters from their 2026 draft class, as Carnell Tate, Keldric Faulk, and Anthony Hill Jr. all project to be impact players on day one.
But those three may not be the only rookies tasked with significant roles in their first season in Nashville. In fact, Chad Reuter of NFL.com believes sixth-round pick Pat Coogan is one of 16 Day 3 rookies who could start for their team in 2026.
Coogan is definitely a high-floor prospect who looks the part of an NFL center. While he may lack the elite measurables of some selected before him, he is experienced and has played well against some elite draft choices during his time at Notre Dame and Indiana.
The Titans will have competition for the center position, and there is no doubt Coogan will be in the mix.
