Titans' Kevin Winston Jr. named a player to watch in camp

[ASFN Admin]

With training camp opening in a little over two weeks for the Tennessee Titans, it is time to look ahead to some of the stories to keep an eye on.

While the offensive line battles will be fun to watch, that one will actually last most of camp. The battles for depth at wide receiver should also be intense, and unfortunately, some talented receivers may lose out. But when it comes to players to watch, Turron Davenport of ESPN believes it’s a second-year player who is poised to make a jump.

Who's going to turn heads in camp?

Safety Kevin Winston Jr. Winston is an ascending player who plays with the speed and the "violence" Saleh covets. The guy had a tough time pulling back and not hitting receivers during OTAs. Winston is always around the ball and loves to come up to fill against the run. Playing under the wisdom of veteran safety coach Marquand Manuel should help Winston get a better feel for zone coverage, which is his main area for improvement.

Winston had a tough rookie season coming off the ACL injury that cost him the majority of his final season at Penn State. Now healthy, he will have the opportunity to show everyone what the team actually has in the talented second-year safety. With strong athleticism and the ability to make an impact, Winston will definitely be one to watch.
