The Tennessee Titans are getting an up close and personal look at two of college football's most recognizable players. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell are taking their final pre-draft visit to the Titans on Wednesday.
Brown, whose first cousin is Oakland Raiders superstar Antonio Brown, is considered the top prospect at his position in the 2019 class. At 5-foot-9, 166 pounds, he lacks the size NFL teams traditionally covet from No. 1 targets, but will immediately enter the league as one of the fastest players in all of football. Though a Lisfranc injury in his foot sidelined him for the NFL Combine, Brown believes he would have broken the 40-yard dash record of 4.22 seconds set by Cincinnati Bengals receiver John Ross in 2017.
A junior college transfer in 2017, Brown spent two seasons at Oklahoma. He was especially dominant as a junior, finishing the 2018 campaign with 75 catches for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns, including a school record 265-yard outing against Oklahoma State.
Ferrell, meanwhile, profiles as one of the most NFL-ready defenders in this draft. A starter along the Tigers' loaded defensive line each of the last three seasons, his relentless motor, long arms, and functional strength make him a highly-effective player both rushing the passer and stopping the run. The 6-foot-4, 264-pounder is best suited as a 4-3 defensive end given his relative lack of fluidity in space.
As a redshirt junior in 2018, Ferrell finished the 2018 season 55 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and 11 and-a-half sacks en route to consensus First Team All-American honors and winning ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
Both Brown and Ferrell could still be available when Tennessee is on the clock with the No. 19 pick of the first round.
