NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Hidden behind height, weight, and speed, the Titans are factoring another measurement into their assessment of prospects as they prepare to draft.
They see it as a durability indicator, and resilience has been a major theme of the team’s player acquisition so far under its regime.
Chad Brinker has been big from the start in trying to forecast a player’s injury future and Mike Borgonzi has brought in an idea from Kansas City.
“We use a lot of body composition metrics; lean body mass is a big deal for us,” he said. “Looking at that really may correlate to injuries in the league. And we do that by position and rank them. That was really a focus for us in Kansas City.”
