Kalan Reed, Mr. Irrelevant XLI, did not survive cuts and was released by the Tennessee Titans on Friday.
The Titans made Reed Mr. Irrelevant when they picked the defensive back out of Southern Miss with the last pick, No. 253, in the 2016 NFL draft.
Reed showed flashes of talent, but couldn’t make the most of his opportunity to also be a return specialist. He fumbled twice in the preseason.
Reed, 5-11, 198 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds at the Southern Miss pro day in late March. He also recorded a 41-1/2-inch vertical leap.
There’s a chance the Titans can place Reed on their practice squad if he clears waivers.
