2012 NFL Draft: Rice DE Scott Solomon Goes To Titans

The Tennessee Titans selected Rice defensive end Scott Solomon on Saturday in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft, using the 211th overall pick to bring in the San Antonio native.

Solomon (6-foot-3, 260 pounds) is rated as an average athlete, but all the scouting services say that he gets the most out of his ability, or, in scouting terms, he "has a great motor." Solomon missed the 2010 season with a foot injury, but came back to earn first-team All-Conference USA honors from Rivals and second-team recognition from the league's coaches. He had 24 career sacks at Rice, including 8.5 in 2011, and had over 200 career tackles.
