Before the injury forced him to miss the NFL Scouting Combine and Penn State pro day, he was widely viewed as a Day 2 prospect, giving him tremendous value in this round. The Titans still have three selections left on Day 3.Here’s how fans reacted on social media after the pick of Singleton.The #Titans are getting a DOG in Nick Singleton 😤#TitanUppic.twitter.com/8fOvgIzVsg— SharmSports (@SharmSports) April 25, 2026165. #Titans select RB Nicholas Singleton, great size & frame, great athleticism, straight line speed, acceleration & burst, good footwork & lateral quickness, one cut & jump cut ability, good play strength, power, contact balance & leg drive, good rec skills, #NFLDraft— Paul Perdichizzi (@paulie23ny) April 25, 2026Singleton brings some juice to Nashville45 Rushing Touchdowns 9 Receiving Touchdowns 3 Seasons 1000 Scrimmage Yards#Titans#NFLDraft#OTClockpic.twitter.com/QIxlTnk8Jq— Courtlandt L.M.
Griffin (@thecgriffy) April 25, 2026#Titans Nicholas SingletonRB Penn StateBest available RB. TD machine, solid route runner. Impressive size/athleticism combo.
Coming off an injury, only reason he’s available. Good pick.— The GOAT House (@GoatHouseNFL) April 25, 2026A fantastic pick with Nick Singleton at RB! He provides an explosive element, good size/speed combo and a very good production profile through his career!
Also provides some receiving chops!#Titanspic.twitter.com/Cdnir4Kqlc— Major Kees (@Major_Kees) April 25, 2026The #Titans might have gotten a STEAL in #WeAre RB Nicholas Singleton!#TitanUp faithful, @gregcosell had some great tape observations on Singleton. Check it out! #PennStateFootballhttps://t.co/wSWukrK49B— Inside The Birds (@InsideBirds) April 25, 2026Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton is the pick for the #Titans at 165. The running back room is going to be one of the most fun position rooms to watch during training camp with Pollard, Spears, Mullings, Chestnut, and Carter all in the room as well.— Parker Kelley (@parker_kelley10) April 25, 2026The #Titans picked Penn State RB Nick Singleton. pic.twitter.com/3JcScxoabi— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) April 25, 2026Singleton is super interesting because he is so unique in that he clearly has everything you want physically and he has been productive in college, but he hasn't ever had a transcendent season because he has always spit carries.
Maybe they view him as a high-end RB2? #Titans— Will Lomas (@jlomas72) April 25, 2026Per The Athletic, #Titans' Singleton is first Big Ten player since Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor with 5,000-plus all-purpose yards and 50-plus touchdowns in a career. #titanup#2026nfldraft— Florida Titans Nation (@TitanUpFans) April 25, 2026Welcome to Nashville ‼️‼️ @NickSingletonn time to be a LEGEND!!! God bless brother!! #titanupwithkobe#nicksingleton#titans#nfldraft#threadspic.twitter.com/RDLUP5c4Jb— Kobe Finna Allen (@ChampagneKobe1) April 25, 2026Nicholas Singleton is a pretty fun pick for the #Titans.Explosive speed.
One of the best pass catching backs in this class. Physical runner and good enough protector. Vision is the real weakness.
But if deployed correctly, can make an immediate impact. pic.twitter.com/xtuWdu4csk— Sam Phalen (@Sam_Phalen) April 25, 2026Based on how they have treated the last two picks, I don't think the #Titans believe there are any more standouts left on their board and they are locked in on filling out the depth chart for training camp. Just looking at what they need, I think their three remaining picks will…— Will Lomas (@jlomas72) April 25, 2026#Titans Nicholas Singleton had a pretty accomplished Track & Field career at Governor Mifflin High School:6.79s 55m Time (Indoor)7.11s 60m Time (Indoor) 10.89s 100m Time (Outdoor)22.89 200m Time (Outdoor)20’1.75” Long Jump Distance (Indoor)46’1.25” Shot Put - 12lb… pic.twitter.com/ijYQM8XQmb— Courtlandt L.M.
