A new rookie is ready to emerge.
Titans' Elic Ayomanor could become next breakout rookie after Calvin Ridley injury originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Emeka Egbuka. Tetaroia McMillan. Matthew Golden.
The rookie wide receivers this season have been excellent but there's still one on the precipice of breaking out: Elic Aymanor.
The Tennessee Titans drafted the wideout in the fourth round out of Stanford. He's averaging around 6 targets a game and has 34 receptions for 196 yards and a TD through six weeks.
Now that Calvin Ridley is questionable with a hamstring injury, Ayomanor could shine as the true #1 in the Tennessee offense.
This comes as head coach Brian Callahan was fired after a 4-19 start in his tenure with the Titans.
Rookies Cam Ward and Ayomanor are two of the few bright spots on this roster and if they can connect more as the season goes it will bode well for Tennessee's future.
Well, players gon' make plays!

Now he's just gotta go out there and prove it.
