The NFL needs some white CB's!
Rarely does a white player get a chance at CB in the NFL...thought it was worth a mention.
Ittersagen looks to fil hole at CB
The newest addition to the Titans roster is hoping to take advantage of tough times at the cornerback position.
The Titans brought Pete Ittersagen aboard for Monday's practice, following injuries to Rod Hood, Jamar Love and Tye Hill. Love was waived/injured on Monday to make room for Ittersagen, a 5-foot-10, 189-pounder who saw some preseason action for Indianapolis last season as a rookie out of Wheaton College.
"Yeah, this league is a league of opportunities,'' Ittersagen said. "You have to come in and make plays, prove to be valuable to the team and defense. I'm just hoping to do that. I love this game. It's my passion.''
Ittersagen also saw some action as a returner during Monday's practice.
"That's something I've done before,'' he said. "I love doing it. It's a big part of the game. I hope I can contribute here in terms of that and be a playmaker backthere.''
Coach Jeff Fisher said Ittersagen was the best of four or five corners the team worked out Monday morning.
