BREAKING NEWS: Tennessee Titans Vow to Sign Alabama LB Deontae Lawson After He Declines 2025 NFL Draft
In a stunning twist that has the college football world buzzing, Alabama linebacker Deontae Lawson shocked fans and analysts alike when he announced that he would not be entering the 2025 NFL Draft. Many projected Lawson as a solid Day 2 pick, with the potential to rise even higher after a standout season with the Crimson Tide.
But Lawson had other plans.
Citing unfinished business and a desire to sharpen his leadership and technical skills, Lawson told reporters, “I love this game, and I’m not rushing my journey. I know where I want to be, and I know who I want to play for.”
That last statement turned heads—and not just in Tuscaloosa. Shortly after his announcement, the Tennessee Titans made a bold public statement of their own: they fully intend to sign Lawson once he becomes eligible.
General Manager Ran Carthon called Lawson “a generational leader with the kind of football IQ we build around.” Head coach Brian Callahan added, “We don’t often make public declarations like this, but Lawson is special. He fits our system, our locker room, and our future.”
Now, fans are already circling the 2026 NFL Draft on their calendars, speculating whether the Titans will trade up to make good on their promise—or whether Lawson might even go undrafted and sign as a free agent by design.
One thing’s certain: a rare bond is forming between a young athlete and a franchise that sees greatness in him long before he takes his first NFL snap.
And in Nashville, the countdown has already begun.
