The Tennessee Titans will take to the field for their first training camp practice on Wednesday, and four new faces will help head coach Robert Saleh get the team ready for the regular season.
Ahead of their first practice, the team announced the addition of four new coaches who have joined head coach Robert Saleh's staff for training camp as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program: D'Anthony Batiste (offensive line), Malik Davis (defensive line), Ben Wilkerson (special teams) and Lucy Phan (performance).
These coaches were selected by Saleh and running backs coach Randy Jordan, the Titans' Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship Coordinator, to help them gain experience and potentially work toward full-time NFL coaching.
Batiste will return to the organization after serving in a similar role during offseason activities. A former NFL offensive tackle, he currently serves as an intern strength and conditioning coach for the University of Las Vegas.
Davis will come to the Titans to work with the defensive line, a position he is familiar with, currently serving as a defensive line analyst/defensive graduate assistant at Texas A&M. After starting his career as a student defensive assistant at Georgia Southern, he has also held defensive coaching roles with the University of Cincinnati and at South Alabama.
Wilkerson will be joining Tennessee to work with special teams coordinator John "Bones" Fassel and the special teams unit. Currently the running backs coach at Dartmouth, Wilkerson began his career as quarterbacks coach at Buffalo State in 2019, before moving to Susquehanna in the same role. He has also coached at the University at Buffalo and as a running backs coach at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Phan comes to the Titans to work with the sports performance staff during her fellowship. Phan brings extensive sports science experience to the organization and is currently serving as Manager of Sport Science, Return to Performance & Research, at Children's Health Andrews Institute in Plano, Texas. Pham began working with the University of California in the sports medicine department and as an assistant pole vault coach in 2014. Before eventually moving to Stanford and then to the Sports Academy in Frisco, Texas, operating as Return-to-Play Manager, Sport Science Manager, and Performance Coach from 2020-22.
