RB Tyjae Spears addresses the media after being selected to the Tennessee Titans during the 2023 Draft.

Former Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason McCourty announces Tennessee's selection of Tulane Green Wave running back Tyjae Spears in Round 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 81 overall pick (via a trade with the Detroit Lions).

Earlier this month, the Titans agreed to terms with tight end Josh Whyle (fifth round), offensive lineman Jaelyn Duncan (sixth round) and receiver Colton Dowell (seventh round) from the team's six-man draft class.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Spears looked good in the open rookie minicamp last weekend, catching a number of balls out of the backfield, and then showing off his speed – and moves – in space. He also had some nice runs out of the backfield.

Spears ran for 1,581 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2022 for the Green Wave, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. He also caught 22 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns.
