A fifth-round pick out of Arkansas barges into the Titans’ right guard battle
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have started one rookie on offense for the entire season, since drafting wide receiver Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in April. The team is now vying for the starting right guard position, with fifth-round pick Fernando Carmona Jr. pushing hard for the job. Coach Robert Saleh stated that Carmona has put his foot in the door and is working hard to improve.
Carmona boasts physicality and size, standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 316 pounds. He hones his skills with offensive line coach Duke Manyweather and has been learning quickly by blocking high-caliber defenders. Fellow rookie Keldric Faulk, who has an injured shoulder, may join Carmona on the roster as the team prepares for Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
