The Tennessee Titans kept stockpiling weapons for new franchise quarterback Cam Ward on Day 3 of the NFL draft, snagging Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor with the No. 136 pick in the fourth round. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Canadian becomes the third offensive skill player Tennessee has added after taking Ward first overall and Florida wideout Chimere Dike at No. 103, underscoring general manager Ran Carthon’s intent to resuscitate an offensive attack that ranked in the bottom-10 of the league in most metrics.
Ayomanor arrives in Tennessee with a resume that suggests he will be of immediate help for the Titans’ wide receiver room. As a redshirt freshman and sophomore at The Farm, Ayomanor played in all twelve games each season. His collegiate career-defining game came against the Colorado Buffaloes in 2023 where he carried Stanford to the 46-43 overtime win with 294 receiving yards and a trio of touchdown receptions.
In his sophomore year, he had 63 receptions for 831 yards and recorded six receiving touchdowns, tied with fellow wide receiver Emmett Mosely V in the 2024 season. Three of those receptions were made back-to-back at the start of ACC conference play against TCU, NC State and San Jose State, following Bryan Tremayne in 2021 in scoring a receiving touchdown three games in a row. That same year, he was also the leading wide receiver for a majority of the games, seven out of the twelve played in 2024.
If Ayomanor’s learning curve mirrors his Stanford surge, the Titans could turn a draft-weekend flyer into a reliable chain-mover — and perhaps, at long last, climb out of the league’s offensive cellar.
