NASHVILLE, June 3 (UPI) -- The Tennessee Titans have agreed to contract terms with running back Skip Hicks and long snapper Aaron Graham. Both players are expected to be on the field Monday when the team begins a four-day mini-camp.
Hicks will join veterans Eddie George, Robert Holcombe, and Mike Green, along with rookies Dicenzo Miller and John Simon in Tennessee's loaded backfield. He had 56 carries for 341 yards and one touchdown last year, and also caught five passes for 22 yards. The four-year veteran from UCLA rushed for a career-high 142 yards, including a career-best 51-yard run, leading the Titans to a 26-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Nashville in December. He previously had a pair of 64-yard rushing games at Minnesota and Oakland last season.
After being tabbed by the Washington Redskins in the 1998 draft, Hicks has gone on to rush for 1,109 yards and 13 touchdowns on 285 attempts. He also has 22 receptions for 160 yards. He posted a career-high 433 rushing yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie in Washington after an illustrious collegiate career.
Graham, a former Nebraska center, adds more depth on Tennessee's offensive line. Graham has long-snapping skills, a duty he is expected to take over on field goals and punts for the Titans. He played last season with the Oakland Raiders after spending his first four years with the Arizona Cardinals.
