Imagine graduating college and landing your dream job. Then, imagine said job is in the same city with the same employer at the same time as one of your oldest and best friends.
Presumably, the odds for such a scenario are low. But it can happen. In fact, for two members of the Tennessee Titans’ 2021 draft class, it did.
Safety Brady Breeze, a seventh-round pick, and cornerback Elijah Molden, a third-round choice, have a friendship that goes back to when they were children.
“We re good family friends,” Breeze said. “My uncle Chad Cota and his dad, Alex Molden, were teammates at Oregon for the Gang Green back in (1994) when they played in the Rose Bowl. I ve known Elijah my whole life. So, it s pretty cool to be able to call ourselves teammates and I m definitely excited.”
