NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have signed fifth-round draft pick Jayon Brown, a linebacker from UCLA.

Brown led the Bruins in tackles each of his last two seasons at UCLA and earned first-team all-Pac-12 honours as a senior. He finished his college career with 220 tackles, three interceptions and four fumble recoveries.

His signing comes one day after the Titans signed Southern California cornerback Adoree’ Jackson , one of their two first-round picks.

The Titans have now signed five of their seven draft picks. First-round pick Corey Davis and third-round selection Taywan Taylor remain unsigned. Brown is a wide receiver from Western Michigan and Taylor is a receiver from Western Kentucky.
