Kylen Granson

Kylen Granson is an American football tight end for the Tennessee Titans as of September 16, 2026. The Titans signed him as an unrestricted free agent on March 16, 2026, after he spent the 2025 season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He previously played for the Indianapolis Colts from 2021 through 2024. Granson is listed at 6-foot-3 and 242 pounds, and he wears No. 86 for Tennessee.

Born March 27, 1998, Granson attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, and began his college career at Rice. He later transferred to Southern Methodist University, where he developed into a productive receiving tight end and earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference recognition in 2020. His college background included experience as a wide receiver before his professional career established him primarily at tight end.

The Colts selected Granson in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft with the 127th overall pick. NFL draft analysis described him as an athletic matchup tight end with acceleration, route-running potential and the ability to create space as a pass catcher. The same evaluation noted that his blocking strength was more limited, suggesting a role that could emphasize receiving, movement and alignment flexibility rather than traditional in-line blocking.
