Titans beat writer John Glennon reports TE Chigoziem Okonkwo has impressed in the Titans' passing drills.​

Okonkwo was drafted by the Titans with the 143rd overall pick in this year's draft. An elite athlete who boasts a 4.52 40-yard dash, Okonkwo closed out his time at Maryland with a receiving line of 52-447-5. Glennon writes that Okonkwo's stock has "risen consistently ever since he took the field for minicamp." Ryan Tannehill also praised the rookie for the strides he made during minicamp and noted his physicality, strength and speed as something that can make for another "weapon" in Tennessee's offense. Okonkwo won't be cracking the top of Tennessee's depth chart any time soon, with veteran free agent signing Austin Hooper locked into the starting role, and Geoff Swaim behind him. However, early reports of the rookie's progress are encouraging for those stashing him on their dynasty taxi squads.

Seems HoF bound...

No running back in NFL history has dominated a team the way Derrick Henry has dominated the Texans.

In each of Tennessee's last four meetings with its AFC South rivals, the 28-year-old power back has run for at least 200 yards, and he's the first RB in history to run for 150-plus yards and two TDs in four straight games against the same opponent.

Henry also became the third back in league history to have six career 200-yard rushing performances, joining O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson in a very exclusive club. The Titans star has also reached triple-digit rushing yards in four straight games this season, a streak he'll look to extend in Week 9 against Kansas City.
