The Tennessee Titans have officially locked up another key piece of their future, signing second-round linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. to a four-year rookie contract. The deal, finalized on Friday, makes the 60th overall pick the seventh member of the team's 2026 draft class to put pen to paper.
For a defense looking to add some serious edge, Hill's arrival couldn't come at a better time. The Texas product was a tremendous value when the Titans traded up to snag him, and his experience and upside are exactly what this unit needs. Known for his ability to rise to the occasion in big moments, Hill brings a level of intensity that should energize a room hungry for a new identity. Fans who have watched the Titans struggle on critical downs will appreciate his knack for stepping up when the stakes are highest.
Standing at 6-foot-2 and 238 pounds, Hill has the build and skill set to thrive in Tennessee's revamped defensive scheme. Over his three-year college career, he played in 40 games and racked up 249 tackles, seven sacks, and 31.5 tackles for loss—numbers that showcase both his durability and his dynamic playmaking ability. Whether he's stuffing the run or dropping into coverage, Hill has the tools to make an immediate impact.
With Hill's deal done, the Titans now have just one unsigned draft pick left: first-round edge rusher Keldric Faulk. As offseason team activities (OTAs) kick off next week in Nashville, all eyes will be on whether the team can get Faulk locked in before the pads go on. For now, though, the defense just got a whole lot more interesting.
