Tennessee Titans get Anthony Hill Jr. in a trade
Introduction
On the second day of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Titans made a trade with the Chicago Bears. They got a linebacker from Texas, Anthony Hill Jr. The team's manager and coach wanted to make the defense stronger.
Main Body
The Titans gave the Bears a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick. In return, they got the 60th pick in the draft. This was their second big trade. Earlier, they gave away their own second-round pick to get another first-round pick. The team wanted to get Hill. They watched him play and he visited the team. Hill is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 238 pounds. He played for the University of Texas for three years. He played in 40 games. He made 249 tackles and 17 sacks. In 2025, he was a Second-Team All-American. He has long arms (6 feet 7 inches) and runs fast (40 yards in 4.51 seconds). He is good at stopping the run, but some people say he needs to improve at covering passes. Some people like this trade. They say Hill is big, fast, and strong. He fits the coach's plan. Other people are not happy. They say the team needed to get a new offensive lineman instead. The Titans had a bad season last year (3 wins, 14 losses). They need to improve many parts of the team. The Titans have five more picks on the last day of the draft. They need to get players for the offensive line, wide receiver, and defensive back. Hill will try to get a spot on the team. The coaches say he must play well in training to get game time.
Conclusion
The Titans want to make their defense faster and stronger. They got Hill for that. Now they will use their other picks to fix problems on the offensive line and other places.
