The Facts:
For all the changes in Tennessee this offseason, the one guy who has seemed safe is Locker. But Locker said he’s not taking anything for granted, even though he has
a mandate from the owner.“You are competing for a job every day, whether you are announced the starter or not. So it doesn’t change how I approach day in and day out, and it won’t change how I go to practice. I am always pretending I am competing for a job because you are pushing yourself that way,” Locker said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Locker’s still in a walking boot after surgery for a Lisfranc injury, and hasn’t put weight on the foot yet. He’ll have another surgery later this month to remove the hardware, and hopes to be cleared by OTAs in June. Meanwhile as PFT's Darin Gantt notes, Locker has always had the tools, but hasn’t had a consistent approach offensively and hasn’t been able to stay on the field. If he can remain upright, the pairing with new HC Ken Whisenhunt could do for him what it did for Philip Rivers in San Diego last year, which would justify the confidence -- assuming
he retains the starting job.
