Kamalei Correa- OLB

After being traded by the Baltimore Ravens to the Tennessee Titans for a 2019 6th Round pick in 2018, Kamalei Correa became a depth piece behind Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo.  Now that Morgan has left in free agency and Orakpo retired from football, Correa is now the starter opposite Harold Landry and free agent acquisition Cameron Wake, according to Ourlads.com. 

After coming off a season where he only notched 3.5 sacks, the Titans felt as though they needed more at the position. This is where D’Andre Walker comes in.

Drafted in the fifth round out of the University of Georgia, D’Andre Walker looks to compete with Correa at right outside linebacker. Standing 6-3 at 245lbs, Walker compares favorably to former teammate and current New York Giant Lorenzo Carter.

Walker is a good pass rusher, using a combination of counters and a shoulder dip to set a great edge. Combined with a great burst and ability to stop the run, D’Andre Walker is a great compliment to Harold Landry’s game.

To put it bluntly, Walker offers more as a player than Correa does and learning from the likes of Cameron Wake will help him greatly. And if he really shines during training camp, Walker could a be a day one starter when September rolls around.
