Tennessee Titans Will Host John Ross and Mike Williams
Right now, wide receiver is probably the biggest position of need for the Tennessee Titans.
The team could really use a wide receiver with top-end speed on their roster. With his size and speed, Dorial Green-Beckham had the raw potential to be a good receiver. Unfortunately, he was too inconsistent and they ended up trading him to the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
To improve their passing game, the Titans will have to find a reliable target for quarterback Marcus Mariota this season. Well, if they are looking for a wide receiver with incredible speed, then John Ross is their man. He broke the 40-yard dash record at the scouting combine last month and the Titans are going to bring him in for a pre-draft visit.

Interestingly, Ross and Mariota have already met before. Mariota actually hosted Ross when the wide receiver took a recruiting visit to Oregon in 2012.
"That was the only time I've ever talked to him, but I got a great first impression from him. He was a really good dude. He was humble and quiet, so he reminded me of myself. It would be great to talk to him again," Ross said, according to NFL.com.
"He's one of my favorite quarterbacks ever. When (Washington) played Oregon, he was doing things I'd never seen before in person. I would love to catch balls from Marcus. We're both young, we'd be able to grow together," he added.
Meanwhile, the Titans are also scheduled to host Clemson's Mike Williams. Williams is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the draft and many believe he will be selected early on. He may not be as fast as Ross, but he's much bigger and he knows how to use his size and speed to his advantage.
The Titans have the fifth overall and 18th overall picks in the draft and they can select either one of them.
