The Titans have agreed with yet another draft pick.

The club announced Tuesday it had reached a four-year deal with fifth-round selection Avery Williamson, a linebacker from Kentucky.

Williamson (6-1, 246) will play inside in the Titans’ scheme. He notched 102 tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack in 2013 for the Wildcats. Williamson was timed at 4.66 seconds in the 40-yard-dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, and he also bench-pressed 225 pounds 25 times.

The Titans have struck deals with 4-of-6 draft picks: Williamson, Penn State defensive lineman DaQuan Jones (fourth round), Wyoming defensive back Marqueston Huff (fourth round) and LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger (sixth round).
