Titans Add Big RB Kalel Mullings

The Tennessee Titans selected Michigan RB Kalel Mullings with the 188th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blake Corum left for the NFL in 2024, and Mullings filled the void as Michigan’s starter. He’s a massive back at 6’1, 226 pounds and brings the impressive power to match. There’s not much nuance to his game, but it’s worth noting that the Massachusetts native joined Michigan as an LB. His first carry didn’t come until his third season, so we could be looking at a late bloomer. Realistically, Mullings won’t add much in the receiving game, as he exits college with 10 targets (8 catches). Look for him to contribute on special teams while he develops at RB.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Mullings surprisingly won the Michigan RB job over teammate Donovan Edwards.

He is a big body, short yardage RB who is tough to bring down.

He is unlikely to do much unless RB Tony Pollard goes down with an injury

Dynasty Impact

226-pound Mullings could find a role long-term, but the low draft capital makes it unlikely.

If the Titans see Mullings develop as a short yardage back, he could end up in a committee down the line with Tyjae Spears as well.

There is some intrigue due to the size, but he is more of a reserve.

He is a pass in rookie drafts.
