Nicholas Singleton
Singleton is a talented but firmly third-string rookie behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, making him a name to stash rather than start right now.
Role
Titans' unofficial depth chart has Pollard as the lead back and Spears as the clear No. 2, with Singleton the third RB competing with Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter and Kalel Mullings for the fourth roster spot; his preseason line (7 carries for 26 yards, 2-for-2 as a receiver for 18 yards) reflects light, deep-bench usage rather than a real path to early-down or passing-down snaps.
He was a highly productive, well-regarded college back at Penn State with size and receiving ability, and both Pollard and Spears carry injury/wear-and-tear question marks, so any absence up top could open real touches for him quickly.
Beat writers covering camp have flagged that Singleton 'needs to improve his vision,' and with two established veterans entrenched ahead of him plus other camp bodies competing for depth spots, he may not see the field on offense in meaningful volume this season.
Where analysts split
The debate isn't whether Singleton has talent — most agree he does — it's whether he can climb past Spears as the primary backup, or whether his vision/processing issues in pass protection and between the tackles keep him buried as a special-teams/emergency piece even if Pollard gets hurt.
Research confidence: thin. Outlooks are grounded in web search over current reporting and refreshed through the season.
