EDGE. Clemson. Clelin Ferrell. 21. player. 35.

The Tennessee Titans need a bunch of help on defense, and addressing the pass rush should be a No. 1 priority.

Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell is a 6-foot-5, 260-pound EDGE capable of providing some thump in the pass rush, as his 8.5 sacks and 17 tackles for a loss this season suggest.

Ferrell is also versatile enough to play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 base front, which would give Tennessee the option to move on from veteran outside linebacker Brian Orakpo, who might end up being a cap casualty this offseason anyway.
