Titans will benefit from Gunnar Helm

Helm almost never drops the ball. He’s good at catching tough passes, even when defenders are all over him. He is also adept at finding open spots on the field. He knows how to trick defenders and get open when the team needs it most.
Even though he isn’t super fast, Helm is hard to tackle. He breaks tackles, jumps over defenders and keeps moving forward after catching the ball. Helm has also played different spots on the field.
