The Tennessee Titans have signed first-round pick Keldric Faulk to a contract, officially completing the signings for all eight of their selections in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Faulk, an edge defender out of Auburn, ended up with the Titans after general manager Mike Borgonzi traded up from the early second round to the No. 31 pick at the back end of the first round to select him. A 6-foot-6, 274-pound edge defender known more for his run stopping skills than his pass rushing acumen, Faulk entered the 2026 NFL Draft cycle considered as a potential top-10 pick but fell later in the round after an underwhelming junior season.
Along with Faulk, the Titans used 2026 draft picks on WR Carnell Tate, LB Anthony Hill Jr., OL Fernando Carmona Jr., RB Nicholas Singleton, DL Jackie Marshall, OL Pat Coogan and TE Jaren Kanak. Tate, the No. 4 pick in the draft, signed his contract with the Titans shortly after the draft.
The Titans are in their second week of OTAs, the first opportunities for rookies to practice alongside their veteran teammates. Faulk was in uniform for the Titans’ first OTA practice that was open to media viewing and participated as a defensive end during team drills.
