McCarthy also made a mark during his rookie season when he started seven of 13 games and recorded 76 tackles (eight for loss), forced two fumbles and recovered two fumbles. He was voted by teammates as a defensive captain in 2012. McCarthy, however, suffered a high ankle sprain in the season opener that cost him multiple games and a concussion that was diagnosed after Tennessee's game Jacksonville (Nov. 25) that cost him the rest of the season.
Harper and Sensabaugh, who were teammates at Clemson before reuniting in Tennessee, have played primarily in reserve roles on their sides of the ball and on special teams. Sensabaugh played in all 16 games and made three starts as a rookie.
The Titans also drafted tackle David Stewart in the fourth round with the 113th pick of the 2005 NFL Draft and receiver Lavelle Hawkins with the 126th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft.
Stewart has started all 104 games he's played and is rehabbing a leg injury he suffered in Week 12 last year. Hawkins has played in 52 games and had a career-high 47 catches for 470 yards in 2011.
Defensive linemen Thaddeus Gibson (116th pick by Pittsburgh in 2010) and Sammie Hill (115th by Detroit in 2009) are the other two fourth-round picks on Tennessee's roster. Gibson spent part of 2012 on the practice squad and signed a future contract, and Hill signed with Tennessee as a free agent this offseason. Tennessee is scheduled to have one pick in the fourth round (107th overall) of this year's NFL Draft on April 27. Click here to visit Titans Draft Central.
