Adeniyi

Adeniyi appeared in 16 games for the Titans last season after spending the previous three years with the Steelers. He played on a career-best 207 defensive snaps in 2021 and registered the first 2.5 sacks of his career while also being named a Pro Bowl alternate on special teams.

Adeniyi is considered a rotational defensive player and an excellent special teamer. He’ll join a Tennessee special teams unit graded by Pro Football Focus as last year’s fifth worst unit. Adeniyi will join former Steelers LB Bud Dupree in Tennessee.

Adeniyi (6’2/248) went pro after breaking out as a 2017 redshirt junior, finishing third in the MAC in tackles for loss (20) with a team-high 8.5 sacks. Adeniyi won as a speedy edge rusher for the Rockets, but he tested as a lowly 20th-percentile athlete at the Combine with marginal speed (4.83) and a sluggish 7.21 three-cone time. Adeniyi’s NFL upside is probably a situational edge player and special teamer.
