Titans tight end Gunnar Helm, a fourth-round pick in 2025, appeared in 16 games, with 10 starts, as a rookie. He ranked fourth on the team with 44 receptions, which set a franchise record for rookie tight ends, and fourth on the team with 357 receiving yards.
Helm scored twice and had at least one reception in all 16 games he played.
He isn't satisfied.
"There's always something to go out there and do," Helm said, via Jim Wyatt of the team website, "always something to prove, and there's somebody always coming for your spot."
Helm has a new head coach (Robert Saleh), a new offensive coordinator (Brian Daboll) and new teammates at tight end, with veterans Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson and rookie Jaren Kanak joining Helm, David Martin-Robinson and Joel Wilson on the roster this offseason.
Helm knows Daboll's offense utilizes the tight ends, which has him excited about building on his rookie season.
"It's been great," Helm said. "Obviously [Daboll] is not afraid to use the tight end, did so wherever he's been. There's been great clips of like [Rob] Gronkowski [in New England], Dalton Kinkaid [and] Dawson Knox [in Buffalo], just doing things that usually receivers do. Being able to be worked into the offense like that, it's been great."
