David Fluellen worked his way up to No. 3 running back last season and was in line for carries when coaches got frustrated with Derrick Henry in the win over New England.
He quickly suffered a knee injury, which derailed that.
After the season, the plan was to bulk him up and increase his opportunities beyond special teams. So now, with Jonnu Smith out, he's showing up in the move tight end role as an H-back and a F-back along with Ryan Hewitt.
He's also a headliner in Mike Vrabel's policy that the Titans will treat a player the way a player treats the team. WIse young newcomers would be wise to watch how he works and carries himself.
Here's my recent chat with Fluellen.
