Round 3, Pick 97 - Tennessee Titans - Rennie Curran

Rennie Curran, LB, Georgia

Ht: 5’ 10 5/8” Wt: 235

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Excellent pick for the Titans at this point in the draft.  An undersized prospect who plays with a violent force, Curran will make an impact on special teams immediately.  He could sneak into the Titans starting line up as their linebacking corps is aging and is in need of upgrading.   

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Very productive, active, energetic, compactly built ball of muscle who flies around in pursuit. Search-and-flow linebacker who does not run especially well for an undersized guy but possesses terrific instincts and hitting ability. Is more athletic and explosive than Colts OLB Clint Session and will pique the interest of fast-flowing “40” fronts like that of the Colts.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  A fire ant on the field, Curran lacks size but makes up for it with speed, agility and ferocity.  Shorter than scouts would prefer, but height was overrated in the case of Zach Thomas, Lofa Tatupu and the late Sam Mills, all of whom earned multiple trips to the Pro Bowl despite measuring shorter than 6-feet.
