Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft is well underway, and after the Tennessee Titans made their second fifth-round selection by taking Penn State running back Nick Singleton with pick No. 165.
An explosive and well-built running back who saw his draft stock take a hit after suffering a broken foot during Senior Bowl Week. Before the injury forced him to miss the NFL Scouting Combine and Penn State pro day, he was widely viewed as a Day 2 prospect, giving him tremendous value in this round. The Titans still have three selections left on Day 3.
Here’s how fans reacted on social media after the pick of Singleton.

#Titans Nicholas SingletonRB Penn StateBest available RB. TD machine, solid route runner. Impressive size/athleticism combo. Coming off an injury, only reason he’s available. Good pick.
A fantastic pick with Nick Singleton at RB! He provides an explosive element, good size/speed combo and a very good production profile through his career! Also provides some receiving chops!#Titans pic.twitter.com/Cdnir4Kqlc
The #Titans might have gotten a STEAL in #WeAre RB Nicholas Singleton!#TitanUp faithful, @gregcosell had some great tape observations on Singleton. Check it out! #PennStateFootball https://t.co/wSWukrK49B
Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton is the pick for the #Titans at 165. The running back room is going to be one of the most fun position rooms to watch during training camp with Pollard, Spears, Mullings, Chestnut, and Carter all in the room as well.

Singleton is super interesting because he is so unique in that he clearly has everything you want physically and he has been productive in college, but he hasn't ever had a transcendent season because he has always spit carries. Maybe they view him as a high-end RB2? #Titans
Per The Athletic, #Titans' Singleton is first Big Ten player since Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor with 5,000-plus all-purpose yards and 50-plus touchdowns in a career. #titanup #2026nfldraft

Nicholas Singleton is a pretty fun pick for the #Titans.Explosive speed. One of the best pass catching backs in this class. Physical runner and good enough protector. Vision is the real weakness. But if deployed correctly, can make an immediate impact. pic.twitter.com/xtuWdu4csk
Based on how they have treated the last two picks, I don't think the #Titans believe there are any more standouts left on their board and they are locked in on filling out the depth chart for training camp. Just looking at what they need, I think their three remaining picks will…
