Titans' Gunnar Helm highlighted as a breakout candidate for 2026 season
Summary

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm has been identified by ESPN analyst Ben Solak as a potential breakout player for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. As training camp approaches, the Titans are looking for key contributors to improve following three disappointing years. Helm showed promise last season, establishing himself as the top tight end on the roster. Although he may not lead the team in receptions due to new additions at receiver, Helm is expected to play a significant role in the offense and improve his blocking technique. This summer will be crucial for his development as he aims for national recognition next year.
