Sam Bergen made the most of his tryout with the Tennessee Titans. The former Rutgers fullback will sign a free-agent contact with the Titans on Monday after participating in the team's rookie minicamp this weekend, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Bergen wasn't picked in the NFL Draft that concluded two weeks ago and he was stuck in limbo for a few days as many undrafted players signed as free agents or earned tryout invitations. Bergen received a tryout invitation from the Titans on May 4, four days after the draft.

The Titans have one other fullback on their roster, Jalston Fowler. A fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft, Fowler appeared in 16 games last season, recording seven carries for 13 yards and a touchdown and five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown.

The 5-foot-11, 248-pound Bergen is a traditional smash-mouth fullback. Bergen appeared in all 12 games and made eight starts last season. He also contributed on multiple special teams units.

Bergen served primarily as a lead-blocker last season. He had five catches for 49 yards and one carry for 15 yards on a fake punt during Rutgers' 25-point comeback win over Indiana.

Bergen was mostly a special teams player throughout his career because he was behind Michael Burton on Rutgers' depth chart at fullback. Burton was a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 draft.

The 24-year-old Bergen received a rare sixth-year of eligibility from the NCAA because he missed two seasons due to injury. He missed his freshman season in 2010 as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered in his senior year at East Stroudsburg (Pa.) High and he missed the final 12 games of the 2013 season after tearing ligaments in his ankle and breaking his fibula in practice.

Bergen was one of the most respected players on the Rutgers roster. An avid weight-lifter, Bergen held the title of team's strongest player throughout his career. Bergen completed 28 reps of the 225-pound bench press at Rutgers' pro day. That would have ranked third among running backs at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Bergen, who earned his degree in economics, was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

The Titans currently have two Rutgers' alums on their roster: Cornerback Jason McCourty and wide receiver Andrew Turzilli.

Wide receiver Leonte Carroo was the only Scarlet Knight picked in this year's draft. Bergen will become the fourth undrafted player from Rutgers to sign a free agent contract this year, joining linebacker Quentin Gause (Eagles), linebacker Steve Longa (Seahawks) and offensive lineman Keith Lumpkin (Bills).

Former Rutgers players Paul James, Gary Nova and Savon Huggins earned rookie minicamp tryouts with NFL teams, but none have signed a contract as of Sunday night.
