NASHVILLE – Tennessee State's Christion Abercrombie will announce the fifth-round pick for the Tennessee Titans at the NFL Draft.

Abercrombie, who suffered a life-threatening injury in a football game against Vanderbilt last season, has made a remarkable recovery in recent months.

The middle linebacker from Atlanta had two brain surgeries and has spent countless hours in rehabilitation therapy.

On April 27, he'll be on stage in Nashville for a special moment.
