NASHVILLE – Someone in the Tennessee Titans front office called Jacob Huesman at his Chattanooga residence a few days ago.

“We’re trying to work out a flight for you,” the employee said.

“That’s OK,” Huesman said. “I think I can drive to Nashville.”

And so the former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga quarterback did just that Thursday afternoon, making the 135-minute trip up I-24 in plenty of time to take part in the NFL team’s rookie camp this weekend.

“I had a couple of good sets in a row,” Huesman said at the close of Friday’s workout. “I missed a couple of throws this morning, but I was on target this afternoon.”
