This start of this experience is special for Dowell, who grew up in Lebanon, Tennessee, attended Wilson Central High School, and played at Tennessee-Martin.
Growing up, Dowell attended training camp practices at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park, and he went to Titans games at Nissan Stadium.
Over the weekend he put in a Titans helmet for the first time.
“I’d like to say he’d be happy,” Dowell responded when asked what a younger version of himself would be thinking right now. “And he’d realize this is a dream come true. This is just the start, and I want to continue to make that younger self happy as I keep going.”
Dowell said the support from those back home has been great.
“It’s been awesome,” he said. “I’ve said it a couple of times, but when you are wanted and you are supported by people you don’t even know, it is really great, and I cherish that. It is really a blessing to have that in my life right now because I know as quick as it came it can leave, so I am thankful for that and really enjoying it.”
