With one start under his belt, Dillon Radunz could be in line for a significantly bigger role in 2022.
The 2021 second-round pick is one of a handful of players set to compete for open spots along the offensive line at left guard and right tackle.
The 24-year-old offensive lineman recently responded to Vrabel saying he wasn’t ready to start early this offseason, saying he agreed that was indeed the case at the time Vrabel answered the question.
“Ultimately, when he said that, it’s true,” Radunz said of Vrabel’s answer via Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline. “When you are in the offseason, I don’t think any of us are ready to start and play in a game at that moment. It’s the offseason, and there’s a reason it’s called the offseason. Obviously, as a competitor, it is my goal to start and all of that stuff. But the team is first and we’re going to make sure everybody on that starting line earns it.”
Radunz must earn one of the aforementioned starting roles in 2022 or else he’ll quickly be labeled a bust and get added to the pile of bad draft picks made by general manager Jon Robinson over the years.
