FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEPTEMBER 6, 2021

TITANS HOST CARDINALS TO OPEN REGULAR SEASON Tennessee Titans (0-0) vs. Arizona Cardinals (0-0) Sunday, Sept. 12, 2021 • Noon CDT • Nissan Stadium • Nashville, Tenn. • TV: CBS NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (0-0) begin the 2021 regular season this week at home against the Arizona Cardinals (0-0), marking their first time since 2017 they will play at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) in Week 1. Kickoff is scheduled for noon CDT on Sunday, Sept. 12. This is the first time the Titans and Cardinals organizations have faced each other on Kickoff Weekend. The Titans are 32-29 all-time in openers, including a current twogame win streak. They scored road victories to open the 2019 season at Cleveland and the 2020 campaign at Denver. Additionally, this week's opener is the Titans' first regular season game since Dec. 22, 2019 in front of their home crowd without any pandemic-related restrictions on attendance. From that date to this Sunday, 630 days will have elapsed. THE BROADCAST Sunday's contest will be regionally televised on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. The broadcast team includes play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy and analyst Aaron Taylor. Fans in the Nashville television market can livestream the broadcast on their mobile devices from the Titans Mobile App (iOS and Android), as well as on desktop computers and mobile web at TennesseeTitans.com. Restrictions apply. For more information on streaming options visit TennesseeTitans.com or NFL.com/ways-to-watch. The Titans Radio Network and Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone will carry the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Dave McGinnis, sideline reporter Amie Wells and gameday host Rhett Bryan. TITANS ENTER 2021 AS REIGNING DIVISION CHAMPIONS Executive vice president/general manager Jon Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel lead the team into 2021 as it looks to defend its AFC South division title and return to the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Robinson can become the only general manager in franchise history to begin his tenure with six consecutive winning seasons, while Vrabel can become just the third head coach in team annals to earn a playoff berth in three of his first four years on the job. In 2020, the Titans finished with an 11-5 record to claim their first division title since 2008. They extended their streak to five consecutive winning seasons under Robinson, who was hired by controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk in 2016. The Titans, Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs were the only NFL teams to finish above .500 in each season from 2016 to 2020. The Titans return an experienced offensive nucleus for the 2021 campaign, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who set a franchise record with 40 combined passing and rushing touchdowns in 2020; 2,000-yard running back, 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and two-time NFL rushing champion Derrick Henry; and wideout A.J. Brown, who reached the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his first two seasons. Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan anchors an offensive line that could have four of the five starters in place that it had in Week 1 of 2020. On defense, Pro Bowl safety Kevin Byard is among the veteran leaders set to return, as is defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, outside linebacker Harold Landry III and inside linebackers Rashaan Evans and Jayon Brown. Several new additions could make their Titans debuts against the Cardinals. Wide receiver Julio Jones was acquired from Atlanta in an offseason trade, joining a crop of free agents made up of fellow wide receiver Josh Reynolds, outside linebacker Bud Dupree, defensive lineman Denico Autry and cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins. THE CARDINALS Arizona, which makes its third regular season appearance at Nissan Stadium and its first since 2013, launches its third year under head coach Kliff Kingsbury. He directed the club to an 8-8 finish in 2020, a five-win improvement from the season before he took the job. Kingsbury's arrival coincided with the drafting of Kyler Murray, the first-overall draft pick in 2019. Murray won the 2019 NFL Rookie of the Year Award, and in 2020, he passed for 3,971 yards and 26 touchdowns with an additional 11 rushing touchdowns.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER JON ROBINSON ¾ Begins his sixth season as the general manager of the Titans. HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL ¾ Begins his fourth season as the head coach of the Titans. WR A.J. BROWN ¾ Can record his 10th career 100-yard receiving game and his second consecutive 100-yard game. He would become the eighth player in franchise history with at least 10 career 100-yard receiving games and the first since Ernest Givins (1986-88) to accomplish the feat in his first three seasons. S KEVIN BYARD ¾ With 18 career interceptions, he needs one interception to tie Keith Bulluck (19) and Miller Farr (19) for 15th place on the franchise's career interception list. RB DERRICK HENRY ¾ With 5,860 career rushing yards, he needs 140 rushing yards to become the fourth player in franchise history to reach 6,000, joining Eddie George (10,009), Earl Campbell (8,574) and Chris Johnson (7,965). ¾ Can record his 24th career 100-yard rushing game, including regular season and playoffs. ¾ With 58 career total touchdowns, he needs one touchdown to pass Chris Johnson (58) for third place on the team's all-time list behind Eddie George (74) and Earl Campbell (73). WR JULIO JONES ¾ With 12,896 career receiving yards, he needs 104 receiving yards to become the 20th player in NFL history to reach the 13,000-yard receiving mark. ¾ Can extend his streak to 128 consecutive individual games with at least one reception. ¾ Can record his 62nd career 100-yard receiving game in the regular season and postseason. It would be his 59th such performance in the regular season, which would tie Marvin Harrison for third place in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice (76), and Randy Moss (64). P BRETT KERN ¾ Upon his first game of 2021, he will notch his 13th season with a game played with the Titans. It will place him in a tie with Brad Hopkins (13) for third place in franchise history behind only Bruce Matthews (19) and Elvin Bethea (16). QB RYAN TANNEHILL ¾ Can register at least one touchdown pass for the 14th consecutive game, which would tie George Blanda (14 games from 1961–1962) for the fifth-longest such streak in franchise history. ¾ Can record his 23rd career 300-yard passing game and his seventh such performance since joining the Titans in 2019.

GAME PREVIEW

SERIES AT A GLANCE

This week’s game renews a rare rivalry. Of all opponents that have been in existence since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, the Cardinals have played the Oilers/Titans the fewest amount of times­—11 games total. The Cardinals lead the series 7-4, including wins in the two most recent matchups in 2013 and 2017. There have been just four Titans-Cardinals games (2005, 2009, 2013 and 2017) between the clubs in their current incarnations—the Cardinals played in St. Louis from 1960-87 (they played in Chicago prior to that), and the Titans were the Houston Oilers (1960-96) and Tennessee Oilers (199798) prior to taking their current name and opening Nissan Stadium in 1999. The last two visits by the Cardinals to Nissan Stadium produced two of the most dramatic finishes in the stadium's history. On Dec. 15, 2013, the Titans erased a 17-point deficit in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter, only to watch Jay Feely win it for the Cardinals with a 41-yard field goal in overtime. Prior to that, on Nov. 29, 2009, the Titans needed a late 99-yard touchdown drive to clinch a 20-17 victory against the Cardinals. Led by quarterback Vince Young, the Titans converted three times on fourth down on the game-winning drive, including a 10-yard touchdown pass from Young to Kenny Britt with no time remaining on the clock. The Titans have made only one trip to State Farm Stadium, which opened in Glendale, Ariz., in 2006. On Dec. 10, 2017, Phil Dawson's four field goals were enough for the Cardinals to escape with a 12-7 win. On Nov. 1, 1970, in the first-ever matchup between the Oilers and Cardinals, the Cardinals won by a score of 44-0. It stood as the largest shutout loss in the history of the Oilers and Titans until 2009 and began a three-game winning streak for the Cardinals against the Oilers (1970, 1974 and 1979). The Oilers then won consecutive games (1985 and 1988) before exchanging victories in the 1990s (Cardinals won in 1994, Oilers in 1997). The Cardinals were founded in 1898, making the team the United States’ oldest professional football franchise still in existence. In 1920, they became a charter member of the National Football League (then the American Professional Football Association). They share a distinction with the Chicago Bears of being the only two of 11 charter members still operating today. The Cardinals have played as the Morgan Athletic Club, the Normals, Racine Cardinals, Chicago Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals and Arizona Cardinals.

TEAM NOTES

GAME RECAP In Week 14 of the 2017 season, the Titans played the franchise’s first ever contest at the University of Phoenix Stadium and fell to the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 12-7. The first quarter had the teams go scoreless as both Tennessee and Arizona punted twice. In the second quarter, Tennessee struck first as quarterback Marcus Mariota engineered a nine-play, 50-yard touchdown drive. With help from first down receptions by tight end Delanie Walker and wide receiver Eric Decker, running back Derrick Henry rushed in a six-yard touchdown to put the Titans up, 7-0. At the end of the second quarter, the Tennessee defense had allowed the Cardinals just 32 rushing yards and forced punts on all of Arizona’s possessions in the first half. With Arizona driving into Titans territory in the third quarter, linebacker Wesley Woodyard sacked Cardinals quarterback Blaine Gabbert for a loss of eight and outside linebacker Brian Orakpo sacked Gabbert for a loss of nine to hold the Cardinals to a field goal attempt. Arizona successfully converted the kick and got on the board with a 47yard field goal to cut Tennessee’s lead, 7-3. The Titans offense regained possession, but quickly went three-and-out. However, on fourth-and-one Tennessee ran a fake punt and directly snapped the ball to wide receiver Eric Weems who rushed for one yard. The ruling on the field was that Tennessee had successfully converted the first down, but Arizona challenged the call and Weems was instead ruled short of the marker. Arizona took over at the Tennessee 35-yard line and added another field goal on the ensuing possession to cut the Titans lead, 7-6. On the following Titans possession, the Tennessee offense drove smoothly down the field as Mariota connected first with Decker for a 29-yard reception and then with Walker for a 10-yard catch and a first down. However, on first-and-10 from the Arizona 27-yard line, Mariota threw an interception to Cardinals cornerback Tramon Williams who returned the ball for 12 yards. Arizona drove the ball down the field, but missed a 40-yard field goal attempt as Tennessee preserved a 7-6 lead. In the fourth quarter, the Cardinals took the lead for the first time all day as Arizona

Kliff Kingsbury was named the eighth head coach of the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 8, 2019. In his first two seasons with the Cardinals, Kingsbury helped lead a turnaround that resulted in a two-win improvement following his first year in 2019 and a three-win improvement after his second season in 2020. Arizona went from the NFL’s 32nd ranked offense in 2018 to 16th in 2019 and then to sixth in 2020. The Cardinals went from the NFL’s 32nd ranked run game in 2018 to 10th in 2019 and then to seventh in 2020. In two seasons under Kingsbury (2019-20), the Cardinals have rushed for 4,227 yards and 40 touchdowns. Arizona joins Baltimore, Tennessee, San Francisco and New Orleans as the only five teams in the NFL to have rushed for 4,000-plus yards and 40-plus touchdowns during that span. In 2020, Arizona finished top-10 in total offense (sixth), rushing yards/ game (seventh), rushing touchdowns (fourth) and offensive touchdowns (10th) while compiling 6,153 total net yards, the third-best season total in team history. Arizona has gone without a turnover in 10 games under Kingsbury, including a franchise-record seven games without a turnover in 2019. Under Kingsbury’s tutelage, Arizona’s QB Kyler Murray – the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft – was named AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 and earned his first career Pro Bowl selection in 2020. Prior to Arizona, Kingsbury spent six seasons (2013-18) as the head coach at his alma mater, Texas Tech. In eight seasons (2011-18) as a head coach/offensive coordinator at the college level, a Kingsbury-led offense never finished outside the top20 in the nation in total offense and never finished outside the top-15 in passing offense. Kingsbury’s star pupil at Texas Tech was QB Patrick Mahomes, who was selected 10th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft and has earned 2018 NFL MVP Honors and Super Bowl LIV MVP honors in his first four seasons in league. Kingsbury began his coaching career at the University of Houston as the offensive quality control coach (2008-09) prior to being elevated to quarterbacks coach (2010) and co-offensive coordinator in 2011. Kingsbury had a prolific career as a quarterback at Texas Tech (19992002), playing his last three seasons under Mike Leach setting 39 school records, 16 Big 12 marks and 17 NCAA records during his collegiate career while throwing for 12,423 yards and 95 touchdowns. He was drafted in the sixth round (201st overall) of the NFL Draft by New England in 2003 and spent his rookie season on the Patriots injured reserve list before spending the 2004 season on the Saints practice squad. Kingsbury played in one game with the Jets in 2005. He played with the Cologne Centurions of NFL Europe in 2006 before attending training camp with the Bills that summer. Kingsbury finished his playing career in the CFL by playing with the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2007.

TEAM NOTES

In the final week of the 2021 preseason, the Titans hosted the Bears and fell to Chicago by a score of 27-24. In accordance with NFL COVID-19 protocols, Head Coach Mike Vrabel did not attend the contest. Special teams coach Craig Aukerman handled team communication with players, while coordinator of football development John Streicher handled game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management. Tennessee got on the board first in the second quarter with an 11-play scoring drive that featured two first-down receptions by WR Cameron Batson. The drive resulted in RB Mekhi Sargent plunging into the end zone on fourth down for a one-yard touchdown, as the Titans took a 7-0 lead. After forcing Chicago to punt, QB Logan Woodside threw a pick-six to Bears DB Tre Roberson who returned the ball for a game-tying 27yard touchdown, 7-7. On the ensuing possession, Tennessee responded with a 72-yard scoring drive. QB Matt Barkley connected with FB Khari Blasingame for a 50-yard screen pass to flip field position and give the Titans possession at the Chicago six-yard line, but Tennessee was forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal to pull ahead, 10-7. Before the first half ended, Chicago tacked on another score as Bears QB Justin Fields connected with Bears TE Jesper Horsted for a 20-yard touchdown, taking a 14-10 advantage into halftime. Chicago opened up the second half with a touchdown score to extend their lead. With Bears QB Nick Foles directing the offense, Horsted caught his second score of the day on a six-yard touchdown pass to make it a 21-10 game. On the ensuing Tennessee possession, the Titans responded with a touchdown of their own. RB Brian Hill rushed for two first downs, and Barkley connected with WR Dez Fitzpatrick for a 28-yard gain, before RB Javian Hawkins ran in a one-yard touchdown. The Titans cut the lead to 2117. Tennessee then took the lead in the fourth quarter on a 78-yard scoring drive, successfully converting the team’s second fourth down attempt for a touchdown. With Bat-

KICKOFF WEEKEND

KICKOFF WEEKEND AT NISSAN STADIUM

Since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978 (now a 17-game schedule as of 2021), the Titans have won their opener 22 times. In those seasons, they have made the playoffs 11 times (50.0%) and missed the playoffs 11 times (50.0%). The Titans have lost their opener 21 times since 1978, and in those seasons, they have made the playoffs eight times (38.1%) and missed the playoffs 13 times (61.9%). This is the first all-time meeting between the Titans and Cardinals franchises on Kickoff Weekend. The Titans have won their last two openers. In 2020, they traveled to Denver for a late Monday night contest and pulled out a 16-14 win. Stephen Gostkowski made the game-winning 25-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Ryan Tannehill passed for a pair of touchdowns, and Derrick Henry rushed for 116 yards on 31 carries in the win. In 2019, the Titans snapped a three-game losing streak in Week 1 contests with a 43-13 road victory over the Cleveland Browns (Sept. 8). Marcus Mariota completed three touchdown passes, including a 75-yarder to Derrick Henry, while the Titans defense contributed three interceptions, five sacks and a safety—a first in franchise history for the defense with that combination. In 2018, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel made his debut as head coach with the Titans in a 27-20 loss at Miami in what became an NFL-record setting affair of more than seven hours due to a pair of weather stoppages. Vrabel was 9-5 on Kickoff Weekend in 14 seasons as an NFL player, and during his NFL assistant coaching tenure with the Houston Texans from 2014–2017, his teams went 2-2 in Week 1 games. The Titans are 32-29 all-time as a franchise in Week 1, including a 5-5 Kickoff Weekend record at Nissan Stadium.

The Titans will open their regular season schedule at Nissan Stadium for the 11th time in the “Titans era” (1999-present). The Titans are 12-10 overall on kickoff weekend in that time period, including a 5-5 mark at Nissan Stadium (opened in 1999) and a 7-5 record on the road.

After going 9-7 each year from 2016 to 2019 and then achieving an 11-5 finish in 2020, a sixth consecutive season above .500 would give the franchise its secondbest all-time streak. The only previous stretch in which the club achieved at least six straight winning records was 1987 to 1993.

WR A.J. BROWN ¾ Needs 1,000 receiving yards and eight touchdown receptions to become the fourth player to reach the marks in each of his first three NFL seasons. He would join John Jefferson, Randy Moss and Odell Beckham Jr. ¾ Can join Derrick Mason (2001–2004) as the only players in franchise history to register 1,000 receiving yards in at least three consecutive seasons. Brown would be the first to accomplish the feat in his first three seasons.

RB DERRICK HENRY ¾ Needs 2,000 rushing yards to become the first player in NFL history to reach the mark in two different seasons. ¾ Needs 1,500 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns to become the first player in NFL history to reach both marks in three consecutive seasons.

¾ Can join Steve Van Buren (1947–1949) as the only players in NFL history to lead the NFL in rushing yards, rushing attempts and rushing touchdowns for three consecutive seasons. ¾ Can become the fifth player in NFL history to win the NFL rushing title in three consecutive seasons, joining Steve Van Buren (1947–1949), Jim Brown (1957–1961, 1963–1965), Earl Campbell (1978-80) and Emmitt Smith (1991-93).

¾ Can become the only Titans/Oilers general manager in franchise history to oversee six consecutive winning seasons in his first six years on the job, breaking the record set by Mike Holovak (1989–1993). QB RYAN TANNEHILL ¾ Can produce his sixth career season with at least 3,000 passing yards and his third career season with at least 4,000 passing yards. ¾ Can become the first player in franchise history with multiple career seasons with at least 30 touchdown passes. ¾ Enters 2021 with a current streak of 13 consecutive regular season games with at least one touchdown pass, the sixth-longest streak in franchise annals. ¾ Can become the first player in franchise history to produce three consecutive seasons with a passer rating of at least 100.0 (117.5 in 2019; 106.5 in 2020). He already became the only quarterback in franchise history to have two consecutive seasons with a passer rating of 100.0 or better. ¾ Can join Drew Brees (2018-20) as the only players in NFL history with a passer rating of at least 106.0 in three consecutive seasons. HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL ¾ With a winning record in 2021, Mike Vrabel would become the only head coach in franchise history other than Jack Pardee (1990–1993) to begin his tenure with at least four consecutive winning campaigns. Vrabel, who arrived in 2018, already joined Pardee as the only head coaches in team annals with three consecutive seasons over .500 to begin their careers.

STATISTICS

¾ Needs 15 rushing touchdowns to become the second player in NFL history to reach the mark in three consecutive seasons, joining LaDainian Tomlinson (four seasons, 2004–2007).

GM JON ROBINSON ¾ Can become the only Titans/Oilers general manager in franchise history to oversee six total winning seasons, breaking the record of five winning seasons established by Bum Phillips (1975, 1977–1980) and later matched by Mike Holovak (1989–1993).

MEDIA

S KEVIN BYARD ¾ Needs two interceptions in 2021 (18 interceptions entering the season) to become the 15th player in franchise history to reach 20 career interceptions. The most recent Titans player to do so was safety Michael Griffin.

¾ Needs 17 games in 2021 (183 career games with the Titans entering the season) to become the third player in franchise history to appear in 200 career games. He would join Bruce Matthews (296) and Elvin Bethea (210).

PLAYER NOTES

¾ The Titans can earn their third consecutive playoff berth. It would be the organization’s first time doing so since a franchise-record seven consecutive playoff appearances from 1987 to 1993.

¾ Can become the fourth player in franchise history to play 13 seasons for the organization, joining Bruce Matthews (1983–2001), Elvin Bethea (1968–1983) and Brad Hopkins (1993–2005).

TEAM NOTES

Kevin Byard enters his sixth season in 2021.

P BRETT KERN ¾ Can record his eighth total season and fifth consecutive campaign with a net punting average of at least 40.0 yards. No other punter in franchise history has had one such season.

¾ Needs a pair of 200-yard rushing games to give him seven for his career, which would set the NFL record. He would surpass O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson, who each have six such performances.

ROSTERS

¾ Needs 17 total touchdowns to reach 75 career touchdowns and break the franchise record held by Eddie George (74). CB JACKRABBIT JENKINS ¾ Needs one interception return for a touchdown to become the eighth player in NFL history to record nine career interception return touchdowns.

TEAM NOTES

JDRF Event a Success, with Help of Titans GM Jon Robinson Jon Robinson was hired as Titans general manager on Jan. 14, 2016 after spending two years as director of player personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nearly one year later, on Jan. 5, 2017, he was promoted to executive vice president/general manager. In his first five seasons on the job, the Titans finished with four consecutive 9-7 records followed by an 11-5 mark in 2020. It was the first time the organization produced at least five consecutive winning seasons since a seven-year run of winning records from 1987–1993. The Titans, Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs were the only NFL teams without a losing season from 2016 to 2020. Robinson became only the second general manager in franchise history whose first five teams finished above the .500 mark, joining Mike Holovak (1989-93). Robinson's work helped the team go from three wins in the season prior to his arrival (2015) to a divisional round playoff finish following the 2017 campaign. He became the fifth general manager in franchise history to have the team in the playoffs within his first two full seasons. Then, in 2019, the team he constructed advanced to the AFC Championship game. It was the organization's first appearance in the conference title game in 17 seasons (2002). In 2020, Robinson and the Titans clinched the 2020 AFC South title with an 11-5 record in the regular season, claiming their best record and first division title since going 13-3 in 2008. They did so while navigating the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Robinson has overseen a nearly complete overhaul of the roster during his tenure. In six drafts as general manager from 2016 to 2021, he selected 48 total players, and 23 of those players were still with the organization through the 2021 offseason. The only members of the roster who predated Robinson at that time were punter Brett Kern and tackle Taylor Lewan. During that same time period (through June 2021), he engineered 26 trades and made 12 waiver claims. 2021: After the NFL's new league year began in March, the Titans struck several deals with veterans in the initial days of free agency. The incoming players included Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebackers Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi, New Orleans Saints cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins, Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Denico Autry, New York Jets safety Matthias Farley, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds, Browns tackle Kendall Lamm and Baltimore Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox. The Titans also re-signed several of their own free agents: tight ends Anthony Firkser and Geoff Swaim, tackle Ty Sambrailo and inside linebacker Jayon Brown. During the 2021 NFL Draft, Robinson led the selection of eight total players, beginning with Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley with the 22nd overall selection in the first round. In the second round, the Titans chose North Dakota State tackle Dillon Radunz, followed by Georgia linebacker Monty Rice and Washington defensive back Elijah Molden in Round 3. Perhaps the most notable transaction of the organization’s 2021 offseason was the trade for wide receiver Julio Jones on June 9. Robinson dealt draft picks in 2022 (second round) and 2023 (fourth round) to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for Jones and a 2023 sixth-rounder. Through 2020, Jones’ average of 95.5 receiver yards per game ranked first in NFL history, and he is Atlanta’s all-time career leader in receptions (848), receiving yards (12,896) and 100-yard receiving games (58). 2020: Early in 2020, the Titans reached an agreement on a multi-year contract to keep quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. The Titans also re-signed tackle Dennis Kelly, who would go on to start all 16 games at right tackle.

After initially placing the franchise tag on running back Derrick Henry, the Titans and Henry were able to come to an agreement on a multi-year contract extension in July 2020. Tannehill responded with 16 starts for the first time since 2015 and produced one of the best seasons of any quarterback in franchise history. He finished in the top five of several of the organization's single-season record lists with 40 total touchdowns (first), a 106.5 passer rating (second), 3,819 passing yards (third) and 33 touchdown passes (tied for second). Robinson acquired Tannehill for the Titans in a 2019 trade with the Miami Dolphins, and in the quarterback's first two seasons with the team, he led the Titans to two playoff appearances. From the time he took over as the Titans' starter in Week 7 of 2019 through the end of 2020, Tannehill's 111.3 passer rating ranked third in the NFL behind only Drew Brees' 112.3 and Aaron Rodgers' 111.7. Tannehill's 2020 successes followed a 2019 season in which he led the NFL and set franchise records with a 117.5 passer rating and a 9.6-yard passing average. In addition to being named to his first Pro Bowl, he earned the 2019 Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year Award. After securing his multi-year extension, Henry produced one of the greatest seasons in NFL history by a running back. He led the NFL in rushing for the second consecutive season with 2,027 rushing yards, which was only the eighth 2,000-yard rushing season in league annals, and also paced the league with 17 rushing touchdowns. He was recognized with the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year Award. Henry, a second-round pick by Robinson in 2016, led the Titans in rushing every season from 2017 through 2020, during which time he also led the NFL with 5,370 total rushing yards. In 2019, he won his first of two consecutive NFL rushing crowns with 1,540 yards and tied for the NFL lead with 16 rushing touchdowns. In the 2020 NFL Draft, the Titans had six total picks, including Louisiana State cornerback Kristian Fulton in the second round (61st overall) and Appalachian State running back Darrynton Evans in the third round (93rd overall). 2019: Near the beginning of the 2019 free agent signing period, Robinson worked quickly to add several veterans from other teams who played key roles, including Tannehill and former Rams guard Rodger Saffold. Robinson also worked to re-sign safety Kenny Vaccaro and punter Brett Kern. Then, in the 2019 NFL Draft, Robinson directed the selection of six total players, including Mississippi State defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons in the first round (19th overall), Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown in the second round (51st overall) and Charlotte offensive lineman Nate Davis in the third round (82nd overall). In his first two seasons, Brown led the Titans in every major receiving category, totaling 122 catches for 2,126 yards and 19 touchdowns. He became the 11th NFL player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL seasons and the first player to do so since Michael Thomas (2016-17). From 1970 through 2020, Brown and Randy Moss were the only players to post at least 120 receptions and 19 touchdown catches while averaging 17.0 yards per reception in their first two seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020 after totaling 70 receptions for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a rookie, Brown ranked first among rookies in receiving yards (1,051), tied for the rookie lead in touchdown receptions (eight) and placed fifth in receptions (52). Among all NFL players in 2019—rookies and veterans—Brown finished second in receiving average (20.2), behind only the Los Angeles Chargers' Mike Williams (20.4). 2018: The Titans' 2018 free agent class included Pro Bowl cornerback Malcolm Butler. In his three seasons in Tennessee, Butler played in 41 games (36 starts) and totaled nine interceptions. In early August 2018, the Titans signed Vaccaro, who went on to start 42 games over his three seasons with the club. Robinson's 2018 draft class was comprised of four players after he used multiple trades to go up and get his targets. It included first-round linebacker Rashaan Evans from Alabama (22nd overall pick) and secondround outside linebacker Harold Landry III from Boston College (41st overall). Evans started all 32 games from 2019 to 2020, and in 2019 he led the team with 139 tackles. Landry appeared in 47 games (35 starts) in his first three seasons, and his 19.0 sacks from 2018–2020 (nine in 2019) ranked first on the team.

PLAYER NOTES

FIVE YEARS, THREE PLAYOFF BERTHS Jon Robinson constructed a roster that produced five consecutive winning seasons in Robinson's first five years on the job, including 2020. The club went 9-7 in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 with postseason berths following the 2017 and 2019 campaigns. Then, in 2020, the Titans finished the regular season 11-5 and won the team's first division championship since 2008. Robinson is only the second general manager in franchise history whose first five teams finished above the .500 mark, joining Mike Holovak (1989-93). He is also the second general manager in team annals who has helped guide the club to three playoff berths in his first five seasons. Holovak did so in each of his first five years.

STATISTICS

PRIOR HISTORY: Robinson arrived in Tennessee with a wide range of experience from working his way up on the personnel side of the NFL. From 2014–2015, he served as director of player personnel for the Buccaneers and oversaw both college and pro departments as the team rebuilt its roster. The 2015 Buccaneers draft class made a significant impact, including four rookie starters: quarterback Jameis Winston, tackle Donovan Smith, guard Ali Marpet and linebacker Kwon Alexander. Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Robinson spent 12 years with the New England Patriots, including his last five years (2009-13) as the director of college scouting. In the five years heading up their college scouting, the Patriots added a number of key components to their roster that won the Super Bowl in 2014, including wide receiver Julian Edelman, defensive back Devin McCourty, tight end Rob Gronkowski, tackle Nate Solder and defensive end Chandler Jones. He joined the Patriots as an area scout in 2002, a role he served for four seasons. Robinson then spent two years (2006-07) as a regional scout, before being promoted to assistant director of college scouting in 2008 and then director of college scouting in 2009. In his time scouting for the Patriots the team won 10 division titles, four conference titles and two Super Bowls (2003, 2004). Robinson played three years at Southeast Missouri State as a defensive lineman after starting his college career at the Air Force Academy. Following his college career as a player, he spent one season

TEAM NOTES

2016: In his first year as an NFL general manager, Robinson's leadership and decision-making helped the Titans triple their win total from the previous season, finishing 9-7 in 2016 after a 3-13 finish in 2015. The sixwin improvement tied for the most in franchise history (1967 and 1974) and doubled the previous club benchmark for the most wins in the first year under a new general manager (three by Bum Phillips in 1975). Within the first four months at his post, Robinson pulled the trigger on several key personnel decisions. On March 9, 2016, he made his first major acquisition, swapping fourth-round draft picks with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for running back DeMarco Murray. The trade provided major dividends in 2016, as Murray led the AFC and ranked third in the NFL with 1,287 rushing yards. Around the same time, Robinson began to work the free agent market. Center Ben Jones and wide receiver Rishard Matthews highlighted the haul, and both were instrumental in helping to transform the Titans offense into the 11th-ranked unit in the NFL. On April 14, 2016, two weeks before the NFL Draft, Robinson and the Titans dealt the first overall pick to the Los Angeles Rams in one of the biggest trades in recent NFL history. The Titans gave up the No. 1 pick and a fourth-rounder in order to receive the 15th overall pick, two secondrounders and a third-rounder in 2016, plus the Rams’ first- and third-round picks in 2017. From 1990–2015, there were seven trades involving the No. 1 overall pick, but this was the first since 2004, when the San Diego Chargers selected Eli Manning with the first pick and dealt his rights to the New York Giants. The Titans had their hands at one point or another on 17 selections in the 2016 draft due to five different trades (including one trade in 2015), and in the end, they ended up with a class of 10 players, including four of the top 45 picks. Robinson swung a draft-day trade with the Cleveland Browns to move back up to the eighth slot to choose Michigan State tackle Jack Conklin. All 10 members of Robinson's first draft class played in at least one game in 2016. They accumulated a total of 110 games played and 38 starts, including 16 starts at right tackle by Conklin. The eighth-overall pick capped his successful rookie campaign by being named first-team All-Pro by Associated Press. Third-round safety Kevin Byard earned first-team All-Pro honors in his second campaign. He ranked second in the NFL from 2017–2020 with 18 total interceptions also was named to the Pro Bowl in 2017.

GAME PREVIEW

2017: During the 2017 offseason, Robinson used free agency to address needs on defense and special teams. Most notably, he spearheaded deals for cornerback Logan Ryan (New England) and special teams contributor and 2017 Pro Bowler Brynden Trawick (Oakland). In the 2017 NFL Draft, Robinson spent first-round picks on wide receiver Corey Davis (fifth overall) and cornerback Adoree' Jackson (18th overall). It marked the first time the franchise had a pair of first-round draft selections since 1987. The Titans' 2017 draft haul also featured tight end Jonnu Smith in the third round and linebacker Jayon Brown in the fifth round. The 2017 Titans advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Robinson became the fifth general manager in franchise history to have the team in the postseason within his first two full seasons.

Mike Vrabel’s Career Playing Ledger: Position Linebacker Linebacker Linebacker

Vrabel arrived in Tennessee with 18 years of NFL experience, including four seasons as a coach and 14 seasons as a player. His distinguished playing career included three Super Bowl wins (2001, 2003 and 2004), one Pro Bowl selection (2007) and an All-Pro honor (2007). Vrabel played in 206 NFL games and totaled 57 sacks, 496 tackles, 11 interceptions, 20 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and 10 touchdown receptions. Additionally, his teams advanced to the playoffs eight times (20 postseason games), with Vrabel recording eight postseason sacks and two postseason touchdown receptions. Vrabel joined the Titans after four seasons with the Houston Texans, spending the first three seasons (2014-16) coaching linebackers and one year (2017) as the team’s defensive coordinator. During his time in Houston, the Texans built one of the best defenses in the NFL and experienced tremendous success as a team – earning two division titles (2015, 2016). Between 2014-16, the Texans defense ranked third in the NFL in yards allowed per game (319.9) and net passing yards (218.4). Houston also ranked first in third-down defense (33.6), fourth in opponent completion percentage (59.5) and sixth in points allowed per game (19.8). The 2016 defense ranked number one in the NFL, for the first time in franchise history, in yards allowed (301.3).

In 2019, Vrabel became the first head coach in the organization's history to win multiple playoff games within his first two seasons. The Titans won a pair of road games—at New England in the wild card round and at Baltimore in the divisional round—to advance to the 2019 AFC championship game, falling at Kansas City to the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs. The Titans began the 2019 campaign with two wins in their first six games but rallied to win seven of their final 10 games in the regular season. From the time the NFL went to its current playoff format in 1990 through 2019, 345 teams went 2-4 or worse in their first six games of a season. From that group, the Titans became only the third team to advance to a conference championship game, joining the 2002 Titans (2-4) and the 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars (2-4). The 2019 Titans ranked in the NFL's top 10 in scoring margin (eighth, +71), turnover margin (sixth, +6), offensive yards per play (fourth, 6.12), rushing offense (third, 138.9 yards per game), red zone efficiency (first, 75.6 percent), total touchdowns (tied for third, 54) and third-down defense (eighth, 36.3 percent). In his first season as head coach, Vrabel directed the Titans to a 9-7 record. His nine wins tied for the fourth-highest total in franchise history by a first-year head coach. With only 82 penalties enforced against the Titans in 2018, Vrabel's team led the NFL and set a franchise record (16-game season) for fewest penalties in a season. The 2018 Titans also placed third in points allowed (18.9 per game), eighth in total defense (333.4 yards per game), sixth in passing defense (216.9), second in red zone defense (44.7 percent touchdown rate) and seventh in rushing offense (126.4) in the league rankings.

MIKE VRABEL AT A GLANCE

TEAM NOTES

Mike Vrabel was named head coach of the Titans on Jan. 20, 2018, becoming the 19th head coach in franchise history. In 2020, the Titans made their second consecutive playoff appearance under Vrabel, who finished his third season with the organization with 31 total wins and a .596 winning percentage (31-21), including the regular season and postseason. His win total and winning percentage each tied Jack Pardee (31-21 from 1990 to 1992) for the best in franchise history over a head coach’s first three seasons. The Titans won the 2020 AFC South title with an 11-5 record in the regular season, claiming their best record and first division title since going 13-3 in 2008. They finished with a 5-1 record within the division and a 6-2 mark in road games, all while navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Titans led the NFL in 2020 with a plus-11 turnover differential. Their 23 takeaways ranked seventh in the NFL, while their 12 turnovers were the second-fewest in the league in 2020 and tied for the ninth-lowest number since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. In 2020, the Tennessee offense continued its ascent into the NFL's upper echelon. The Titans tied for second place in total offense (396.4 yards per game) and ranked fourth in scoring offense (30.7 points per game). They became the first team in NFL history to generate at least 2,500 rushing yards (2,690) and 3,500 net passing yards (3,653) while surrendering 25 or fewer sacks (25). Their 6,343 total yards and 381 first downs established franchise records, while their 491 points amounted to the organization's second-best total. The 2020 Titans joined the 1997 Detroit Lions as the only teams in NFL history to feature a 2,000-yard rusher, a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard receiver. Derrick Henry led the NFL in rushing for the second consecutive

season, and his 2,027 rushing yards gave him the fifth-best total in league history. Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill passed for 3,819 yards, and his 106.5 passer rating was the fifth-best number in the NFL. A.J. Brown was named to the Pro Bowl after recording his second consecutive 1,000-yard season (1,075) and tying for fifth place in the NFL with 11 touchdown catches. Situationally, Vrabel's teams fared well among the NFL leaders in his first three seasons as head coach. From 2018 to 2020, their .935 winning percentage (29-2) in regular season games in which they had a fourthquarter lead ranked second in the NFL behind the New Orleans Saints (.974). In the same time period, the Titans had a .643 winning percentage in three-point games (9-5), good for fifth in the league. The Titans and Saints were the only clubs to win at least three overtime contests in the regular season from 2018 to 2020, and neither suffered a loss. The Titans were called for 267 penalties from 2018 through 2020, which was the second-fewest total in the NFL. Only the New England Patriots (249) fared better. Also from 2018 to 2020, the Titans were a top-10 team in scoring defense. They allowed opponents to score 22.4 points per game during that time period, the eighth-lowest average in the NFL.

In 2017, his first year as a defensive coordinator, the Texans finished the campaign with 19 players on injured reserve. Despite the injuries, Vrabel led the defense to the fifth-best third-down percentage in the NFL and a franchise-record 3.97 yards per carry by opponents. Houston also had 18 different players record at least half a sack last year and 26 players tally at least one tackle for loss. Vrabel spent his career playing and coaching with accomplished leaders, including Bill Belichick, Bill Cowher, Romeo Crennel, Urban Meyer, Bill O’Brien and Todd Haley. As the Texans linebackers coach from 2014-16, Vrabel developed several players into top-notch performers, including Jadeveon Clowney (Pro Bowl, 2016), Whitney Mercilus, Benardrick McKinney (secondteam All-Pro, 2016) and Brian Cushing. The 2015 Texans defense had the top third-down defense in the NFL (28.5 percent), which was the lowest percentage in franchise history and the lowest by any NFL team since the 2003 Titans (27.7 percent). The 2015 defense also set a franchise mark for sacks in a season with 45 - 22.5 coming from Vrabel’s linebacking corps. Prior to joining the NFL coaching ranks, Vrabel transitioned immediately from an NFL player to college coach. He started as the linebacker coach at Ohio State in 2011 and coached the defensive line from 2012–2013. The 2012 Buckeyes finished the season undefeated at 12-0. He also was named Big Ten Recruiter of the Year by ESPN.com in 2012. Vrabel was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (91st overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft, after his playing career at Ohio State, where he earned All-America honors and Big Ten Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year in both 1995 and 1996. A native of Akron, Ohio, Vrabel attended Walsh Jesuit High School. He and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons: Tyler and Carter.

MOST WINS IN FIRST THREE SEASONS In the 2020 regular season finale at Houston, Mike Vrabel earned his 31st win in the regular season and postseason since taking over as Titans head coach in 2018. He finished the campaign with a three-year record of 31-21, including a 2-2 mark in the playoffs. His 31 victories tied for the three-year franchise record originally established by former Oilers coach Jack Pardee from 1990 to 1992. Vrabel, Pardee and Jerry Glanville (1986–1988) are the only head coaches in team annals to preside over at least two playoff squads in their initial three seasons. All three of Pardee’s first three teams made the postseason, while Glanville’s Oilers advanced to the postseason in his second and third years. With a 31-21 record, Vrabel’s winning percentage of .596 tied Pardee for the highest mark of any head coach in franchise history who has been with the organization at least three years.

TITANS ROSTER BREAKDOWN

NISSAN STADIUM

Out of the 52 players on the Titans roster (as of Sept. 6), there are 23 offensive players, 26 defensive players and three specialists. Twenty players were added to the roster since the end of the 2020 campaign.

In 2015, the Titans and Nissan North America announced the formation of a 20-year, exclusive namingrights partnership that rebranded Nashville’s downtown stadium as Nissan Stadium. Nissan Stadium hosts all Titans home football games, Tennessee State University football games, the Music City Bowl, the CMA Music Festival and numerous other events. The procurement of naming rights to Nissan Stadium fit the automotive company’s ‘Fewer, Bigger, Better’ marketing strategy, which has included ongoing sponsorships of NBC’s ‘The Voice,’ the Heisman House college football program and a major advertising presence in this year’s Super Bowl. Nissan is also now the official automotive partner of the Tennessee Titans. Nissan’s ever-growing footprint in Tennessee includes vehicle and powertrain manufacturing facilities in Smyrna and Decherd respectively, along with its North American headquarters in Franklin. The Nissan Smyrna Plant began operations in 1983 and employs more than 8,400 people. In 2014, the Smyrna plant assembled more than 648,000 vehicles, making it the highest volume automotive assembly plant in North America. Nissan also has a major manufacturing presence in Canton, Miss., along with research and development groups in California, Arizona and Michigan. In total, the company employs more than 22,000 employees in the U.S. One component of the Titans-Nissan partnership is assisting charitable organizations throughout Middle Tennessee in an array of community outreach programs. A centerpiece of this is the annual “Taste of Titans” charitable event, for which Nissan serves as presenting sponsor. During the course of a 20-year relationship, a total of more than $1 million resulting from these annual events is anticipated to be distributed to local non-profit organizations. Nissan Stadium is a city-owned venue that has housed the Titans since 1999. The naming rights agreement includes the opportunity for Nissan branding on the exterior of the stadium, as well as stadium signage and other unique displays inside the stadium. LP Building Products held the naming rights to the stadium from 2006 until the Nissan partnership was established in 2015. Titans/Oilers all-time regular-season record by home venue:

PLAYER NOTES

With an 11-5 record during the 2020 regular season, the Titans recorded their fifth season with a winning record in five seasons since Jon Robinson was hired as general manager. In the "Titans era" (1999–present), it marks the first time the team has had as many as three consecutive winning campaigns. With their 2020 mark on top of their 9-7 marks every season from 2016 through 2019, the Titans built the third-longest active streak of winning seasons in the NFL.

Since the midway point of the 2016 season, the Titans have been one of the NFL's most successful teams at home. In that time, they have won 25 of their 36 games at Nissan Stadium. In 2018, the Titans won six games and lost twice at Nissan Stadium. They followed that with a 4-4 home record in 2019. Since the weekend of their 2016 home victory over the Jaguars (Oct. 27, 2016), the Titans' winning percentage in home games is one of the highest in the NFL.

STATISTICS ROSTERS

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is in his 10th NFL season and his third campaign with the Titans in 2021. After receiving a multi-year contract extension during the 2020 offseason, Tannehill responded with 16 starts for the first time since 2015 and produced one of the best seasons of any quarterback in franchise history. A Titans team captain for the first time, his statistics finished in the top five of several of the organization's single-season record lists, including 40 total touchdowns (first), a 106.5 passer rating (second), 3,819 passing yards (third), 33 touchdown passes (tied for second), 65.5 completion percentage (fourth) and 7.9 yards per attempt (tied for fifth). Tannehill and Buffalo's Josh Allen became the fourth and fifth quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 3,800 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns in the same season. Only Cam Newton (2015), Daunte Culpepper (2000) and Steve Young (1994) had done so previously. From 2019 to 2020, Tannehill built an 18-8 record as a starter in the regular season and led the Titans to two playoff appearances, including an appearance in the 2019 AFC championship game. He was the team's first quarterback since Steve McNair in 2002 and 2003 to start playoff games in back-to-back seasons. From the time he took over as the Titans' starter in Week 7 of 2019 through the 2020 campaign, Tannehill's 111.3 passer rating ranked third in the NFL behind only Drew Brees' 112.3 and Aaron Rodgers' 111.7. Among qualifiers, Tannehill became the fourth player in NFL history with a passer rating of at least 106.0 in consecutive seasons, joining Brees (201820), Russell Wilson (2018-19) and Rodgers (2011-12). In 2019, Tannehill set single-season franchise records and led the NFL with a 117.5 passer rating and a passing average of 9.6 yards per attempt. His passer rating was the fourth-highest figure in NFL history among qualifiers. Additionally, he set a club record and placed third in the NFL with a 70.3 completion percentage. Tannehill was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December 2019 and was named to his first career Pro Bowl. He also won the Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year Award. Originally a first-round selection (eighth overall) by the Miami Dolphins in the 2012 NFL Draft, Tannehill was acquired by the Titans in a trade with the Dolphins on March 15, 2019. The Titans sent a 2019 seventh-round pick and a 2020 fourth-round selection to Miami in exchange for Tannehill and a 2019 sixth-rounder. Over his seven seasons in Miami, he started 88 games, threw for 20,434 yards and 123 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,210 yards and six scores. When he left Miami, he ranked second in franchise history behind Chad Pennington in both career completion percentage (62.8) and career passer rating (87.0). He authored 13 game-winning drives for the Dolphins. From 2012 through 2015, Tannehill's passing yardage total—15,460 yards—was the third highest mark in NFL history for a player's first four seasons, behind only Peyton Manning and Dan Marino. Tannehill’s two 4,000-yard passing seasons (2015 and 2014) were the only ones recorded by a Dolphins quarterback other than Marino (six times). The Dolphins reached the playoffs in 2016, breaking an eight-year postseason drought. A native of Big Spring, Texas, Tannehill attended Texas A&M, where he earned honorable mention All-America honors as a senior. He played both quarterback and wide receiver, passing for 5,450 yards and 42 touchdowns and adding 112 receptions for 1,596 yards and 10 scores.

LEADING VETERAN QBS ON NEW TEAMS In 2019, Ryan Tannehill set a new standard for veteran quarterbacks in their first year with a new team. Tannehill, who was acquired in a trade after seven years with the Miami Dolphins, had a passer rating of 117.5. No quarterback has ever finished with a passer rating that high in his first season with a new team after playing at least one year with another team. Brett Favre held the distinction until 2019. In 2009, Favre’s 107.2 passer rating with the Minnesota Vikings became the best figure in league annals by a veteran in his first campaign with a new club.

During the 2019 season, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill accomplished a statistical feat only reached previously by a pair of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Tannehill's season statistics included a 70.3 completion percentage and an average of 9.6 yards per passing attempt. In the history of the NFL, only two previous qualifying passers have enjoyed a season in which they completed at least 70.0 percent of their passes and averaged at least 9.0 yards per attempt: Sammy Baugh and Joe Montana. Montana led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl XXIV title and won the NFL MVP award following a 1989 season in which he completed 70.2 percent of his passes (271 of 386) and averaged 9.1 yards per attempt (3,521 yards). Baugh directed the Washington Redskins to the NFL Championship game in 1945, while completing 70.3 percent of his passes (128 of 182) and averaging 9.2 yards per attempt (1,669 yards).

Ryan Tannehill established the fourth-highest single-season passer rating in NFL history in 2019. His 117.5 passer rating is surpassed in league annals by only Aaron Rodgers’ 122.5 passer rating in 2011, Peyton Manning’s 121.1 in 2004 and Nick Foles’ 119.2 in 2013. Meanwhile, his 9.6-yard passing average tied for eighth in NFL annals.

GAMES WITH A 130 PASSER RATING

2 TD PASSES W/ LESS THAN 2 INTS

During the 2019 campaign, Ryan Tannehill produced a streak of four consecutive games with a passer rating greater than 130. The run included a 133.9 passer rating against the Kansas City Chiefs (Nov. 10), a 155.8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars (Nov. 24), a 131.2 at the Indianapolis Colts (Dec. 1) and a 140.4 at the Oakland Raiders (Dec. 8). In franchise history, no quarterback prior to Tannehill had ever produced four consecutive starts with a passer rating of 130 or better (minimum 10 attempts per game). Marcus Mariota (2016) was the most recent of six Titans/Oilers signal callers to do so for three games before Tannehill.

To end the 2019 regular season, Ryan Tannehill completed multiple touchdown passes for seven consecutive games, one game shy of Marcus Mariota’s 2016 franchise record of eight consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes. However, Tannehill did establish a franchise benchmark in his final seven contests for most consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes and fewer than two interceptions. Over those seven games, he had two total interceptions—one each on Dec. 8 (at Oakland) and Dec. 15 (vs. Houston)—to go along with 19 touchdown passes and a 129.8 passer rating.

Running back Derrick Henry is in his sixth NFL season in 2021. He was selected by the Titans with the 45th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Henry was named the Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2020 after an historic campaign in which he totaled 378 rushing attempts for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns. His rushing yardage total established a new franchise record and led the NFL. As the eighth player in NFL annals to hit the 2,000-yard mark, his 2,027 yards finished fifth on the all-time single-season rushing charts. He was honored with his second consecutive Pro Bowl, named first-team Associated Press All-Pro, and won the FedEx Ground Player of the Year Award for the second consecutive year. Henry was a first-time team captain in 2020. He started all 16 regular season games for the first time and became the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson (2006-07) to lead the NFL in rushing yards in consecutive years. He was the first player in more than 50 years to lead the league in rushing yards, attempts and rushing touchdowns in consecutive seasons and the fifth player ever to do so. The most recent prior to him was Cleveland’s Leroy Kelly from 1967 to 1968. Henry's 17 rushing touchdowns in 2020 set a career high and finished as the second-best total in franchise history behind Earl Campbell’s 19 rushing touchdowns in 1979. In 2019, Henry was named to his first Pro Bowl and added secondteam Associated Press All-Pro honors after leading the NFL in rushing. In 15 games, he totaled 1,540 yards on 303 carries (5.1 avg.), joining Billy Cannon (AFL, 1961), Campbell (1978-80) and Chris Johnson (2009) as the only running backs in franchise history to lead their respective leagues in rushing. At the time, Henry's single-season total ranked fourth in franchise annals behind Johnson's 2009 total (2,006) and Campbell's 1979 (1,697) and 1980 (1,934) performances. With 16 rushing touchdowns in 2019, Henry tied for the NFL lead (Aaron Jones). Adding his two receiving touchdowns, his 18 total touchdowns were third in the NFL and tied for second in franchise annals (19 by Campbell in 1979; 18 by Bill Groman in 1961). Henry's performance late in the 2019 season was instrumental in the team's run to the AFC championship game. Over the final six games of the regular season plus three playoff appearances, Henry registered seven 100-yard games. During a three-game stretch (Dec. 29 at Houston, Jan. 4 at New England and Jan. 11 at Baltimore), he became the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 180 yards in three consecutive regular season and/or postseason games. Henry authored his first career 1,000-yard season in 2018 and the 28th 1,000-yard rushing season in franchise history, totaling 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns on 215 carries—all then-career highs. His 2018 rushing yardage ranked second in the AFC to Joe Mixon’s 1,168 yards, and he finished seventh in the NFL. Henry’s 12 rushing touchdowns tied James Connor for third place in the NFL behind Todd Gurley (17) and Alvin Kamara (14). Henry was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December 2018. His 625 rushing yards in the month were the most by any NFL player in any month during the season. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 6, 2018, Henry recorded one of the greatest single games in franchise history in front of a national

television audience. He broke Johnson's single-game franchise record (228) with 238 rushing yards, including a 99-yard touchdown run. He joined Tony Dorsett as the only two players in NFL history to rush for a 99-yard score. In 2017, Henry shared time in the Titans backfield with DeMarco Murray. Henry led the team with 744 rushing yards on 176 carries, and he added 11 receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. His five rushing touchdowns tied for second on the club. As a rookie in 2016, Henry played in 15 games with one start, splitting reps in the backfield with Murray. He carried the ball 110 times for 490 yards and five touchdowns and added 137 yards on 13 receptions. Henry became the third rookie for the franchise in the “Titans era” to score at least five touchdowns in a season, joining Vince Young (seven rushing touchdowns in 2006) and Johnson (nine rushing and one receiving in 2008). The Heisman Trophy winner played three seasons (2013–2015) at the University of Alabama, where he set numerous school and SEC records while helping his team win a National Championship in 2015. He played in 39 games and totaled 602 carries for 3,591 yards and 42 rushing touchdowns and added 285 yards on 17 career receptions with three receiving scores. During Alabama’s victory over Clemson in the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, he broke Shaun Alexander’s record for most career rushing yards in Alabama history. In his final collegiate season, Henry rushed for an Alabama and Southeastern Conference record 2,219 yards, which led the nation and ranked fifth in FBS history. He recorded 100-yard rushing games 10 times and had four 200-yard games during the season. His 28 rushing touchdowns were a national best and an SEC record, snapping Tim Tebow and Tre Mason’s old mark of 23. In addition to the Heisman, he also won the Doak Walker Award, Walter Camp Award and Maxwell Award, among a multitude of other honors. Henry is a native of Yulee, Fla.

From the final week of the 2019 regular season (Dec. 29 at Houston) through the Titans' first two playoff games (Jan. 4 at New England and Jan. 11 at Baltimore), Derrick Henry became the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 180 yards in three consecutive regular season or postseason games. He also became only the third player since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to have 200 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games. The other two players to accomplish the feat were Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton (1977) and Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell (2014). During the 2019 regular season and playoffs, Henry and Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (two) were the only two players with multiple 200-yard scrimmage games.

Henry scored on a three-yard run in the first quarter, a 99-yard run in the second quarter, a 16-yard run in the third quarter, and finally a 54yard run in the third quarter. He tied the franchise record and became the third player in franchise history to rush for four touchdowns in a game, joining Earl Campbell (against Miami on Nov. 20, 1978) and Lorenzo White (against Cleveland on Dec. 9, 1990). The only franchise player with more overall touchdowns in a game than Henry was Oilers running back Billy Cannon, who had five total touchdowns (three rushing, two receiving) at the New York Titans on Dec. 10, 1961. Henry became the first NFL player with four rushing touchdowns in a game since New England Patriots running back Jonas Gray at Indianapolis on Nov. 16, 2014.

Titans/Oilers with 500 rushing yards in any calendar month from 19702019 (includes playoffs):

Henry’s 99-yard touchdown run tied for the longest scrimmage play in NFL history. It was the 15th such play, including his and Dorsett's runs and 13 passing plays. The last 99-yard scrimmage play before Henry's was New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz’s 99-yard reception from Eli Manning against the New York Jets on Dec. 24, 2011.

GAME PREVIEW

In five games in the month of December 2018, Derrick Henry’s rushing totals included 97 carries for 625 yards and eight touchdowns. His 625 yards were the most by any NFL player in any calendar month in 2018. Additionally, Henry authored one of only four calendar months for the franchise since 1970 in which a player rushed for at least 600 yards. Chris Johnson (800 rushing yards in November 2009) and Earl Campbell (633 in October 1980; 662 in November 1980) were the organization’s only other players to accomplish the feat in that timespan. Henry’s December rushing totals included 40 yards against the New York Jets (Dec. 2), a franchise-record 238 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars (Dec. 6), 170 yards at the New York Giants (Dec. 16), 84 yards against the Washington Redskins (Dec. 22) and 93 yards against the Indianapolis Colts (Dec. 30). For his efforts, Henry was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month.

RUSHING YARDS IN A TITANS PLAYOFF GAME

Derrick Henry accumulated 446 rushing yards during the 2019 playoffs. He had 182 yards on 34 carries in the wild card round at New England, followed by 195 yards on 30 attempts in the divisional round at Baltimore. In the AFC championship game, he had 69 yards on 19 rushing attempts. Henry’s average of 148.7 rushing yards per game ranked fourth in NFL history for players with at least two games played. Only a trio of Pro Football Hall of Fame members—Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis (156.0 in 1998), Los Angeles Raiders running back Marcus Allen (155.3 in 1983) and Washington Redskins running back John Riggins (152.5 in 1982) have averaged more rushing yards in a single postseason than Henry. In Titans/Oilers history, Eddie George established the previous record for average rushing yards in a single postseason during the 1999 playoffs. In four games, George carried the ball 108 times for 449 yards, or an average of 112.3 yards per contest.

On Jan. 4, 2020, Derrick Henry rushed for 182 yards and one touchdown on 34 attempts in a wild card playoff victory at New England. In doing so, he set a new franchise single-game postseason record for rushing yards in a game, surpassing Eddie George's 162 yards at Indianapolis on Jan. 16, 2000. One week later, on Jan. 11, 2020, Henry broke his own record, going for 195 rushing yards on 30 carries at Baltimore.

BROWN’S FIRST TWO SEASONS PLAYER NOTES

Wide receiver A.J. Brown is in his third NFL season in 2021. He was selected by the Titans in the second round (51st overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. In his first two years in the NFL, Brown totaled 122 receptions for 2,126 yards (17.4 avg.) with 19 touchdown catches. He became the 11th player to reach 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, the first player to do so since Michael Thomas (2016-17) and the only player in Titans/Oilers history other than Bill Groman (1960-61) to accomplish the feat. From 1970 through 2020, Brown and Randy Moss were the only players to post at least 120 receptions and 19 touchdown catches while averaging 17.0 yards per reception in their first two seasons. Brown was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2020 after leading the team with 70 receptions, 1,075 receiving yards and 11 touchdown catches in 14 games (12 starts). He tied for fifth place in the NFL in touchdown receptions and joined Drew Bennett (11 in 2004) as the only players in the team's "Titans era" (since 1999) with 10 or more touchdown receptions in a season. He added a touchdown on a kickoff return. As a rookie, Brown led the Titans in every major receiving category, totaling 52 catches for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. He added a 49-yard rushing touchdown. Among all rookies in franchise history, Brown ranked third in receiving yards and fifth in receptions, and he tied for the third-highest receiving touchdown total. Brown led the 2019 NFL rookie class in receiving yards and total touchdowns, and he tied for the rookie lead in touchdown receptions. He also placed fifth among rookies in receptions. Among all NFL players in 2019—rookies and veterans—Brown finished second in receiving average (20.2), behind only the Los Angeles Chargers' Mike Williams (20.4). During a three-year career at Mississippi (2016-18), Brown became the program's all-time leading receiver with 2,984 yards. He ranked third in school history with 189 receptions and fifth all-time with 19 touchdowns. Brown averaged 15.8 yards per catch and 82.9 yards per game, and he tallied the most 100-yard receiving games in Ole Miss history with 12. He became the only receiver in Ole Miss history to tally 60 or more receptions in back-to-back seasons. In 2018, Brown started all 12 games and set Ole Miss’ single-season receiving records in yards (1,320) and catches (85), leading the SEC in both categories. His 1,320 receiving yards ranked seventh in the nation. Brown caught six touchdowns, averaging 110.0 yards per game, and he topped the 100-yard receiving mark in six contests. He earned AP first-team All-SEC and third-team All-American honors for the second consecutive season.

6-3, 220, 11th Year, Alabama Click for complete bio Wide receiver Julio Jones is in his 11th NFL season and his first campaign with the Titans in 2021. He was acquired in a June 2021 trade in which the Titans sent a 2022 second-round draft pick and a conditional 2023 fourth-rounder to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for Jones and a 2023 sixthround pick. The seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro selection arrived in Tennessee with 848 career receptions for 12,896 yards and 60 touchdowns in 135 games (134 starts). He set Falcons franchise receiving records in both catches and yards, while his touchdowns ranked second all-time. Through the 2020 campaign, Jones averaged 95.5 receiving yards per game, ranking first in NFL history. Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson established the previous record of 86.1 receiving yards per game. Jones’ 12,896 career receiving yards through 2020 put him 20th in league annals, while his 58 career 100-yard receiving games put him fourth all-time behind Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (76), Randy Moss (64) and Marvin Harrison (59). Among all players in NFL history with at least 848 career catches, only Moss’ 15.6-yard average ranked higher than Jones’ average of 15.2 yards per reception through 2020. Jones eclipsed the 12,000-yard career receiving mark faster than any other player in NFL history, doing so in 125 games and shattering Rice’s old record of 142 games. Jones was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2012 and every season from 2014 to 2019. He earned Associated Press first-team All-Pro honors in both 2015 and 2016. (2015-16). In 2015, Jones posted one of the best seasons by a receiver in NFL history after leading the NFL with 1,871 receiving yards and tying for the NFL lead with 136 receptions. His final numbers ranked second all-time in receiving yards for a season and tied for second all-time in receptions for a

After 40 collegiate games, his 179 receptions ranked second alltime at Alabama, while his 2,653 receiving yards ranked second in school history and his 15 touchdowns tied for fourth in Crimson Tide annals. As a junior (2010), he garnered second-team All-American honors and was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection after leading the Tide and setting school records with 78 receptions and 1,133 receiving yards to go along with seven touchdown catches.

Wide receiver Josh Reynolds is in his fifth NFL season and his first campaign with the Titans in 2021. He was signed as an unrestricted free agent on March 23, 2021 after spending the first four years of his career (2017-20) with the Los Angeles Rams. Reynolds spent his first four NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams after being selected in the fourth round (117th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He arrived in Tennessee with 113 career receptions for 1,450 yards and nine touchdowns in 64 games (24 starts). Additionally, he had 11 receptions for 186 yards in six postseason contests with the Rams. In 2020, Reynolds set career highs with 13 starts, 52 receptions and 618 receiving yards, and he added a pair of touchdowns. He caught at least one pass in every contest during the regular season. A versatile player who can line up in multiple spots, he was split wide on 69.5 percent of snaps in 2020, per Sportradar. Reynolds never missed a game during his time with the Rams. His 64 consecutive games played put him in a tie for the third-longest streak among all active wide receivers at the conclusion of 2020. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Reynolds played three seasons (201416) at Texas A&M, where he accumulated 164 receptions for 2,788 yards.

#6 • P BRETT KERN 6-2, 214, 14th Year, Toledo Click for complete bio Punter Brett Kern is in his 14th NFL season and his 12th full campaign with the Titans in 2021. The three-time Pro Bowl selection was claimed off waivers by the Titans during the 2009 season. During his time in Tennessee, Kern has placed his name at the top of most of the franchise’s leaderboards at his position. He passed Craig Hentrich (861 punts) in 2020 as the organization's all-time leading punter and finished the season with 876 punts in a Titans uniform. He also concluded 2020 as the team's all-time career leader in gross punting average (45.9 yards), net punting average (40.8) and punts placed inside the 20 (355). Kern owns the top eight net punting seasons in franchise history and six of the team’s top eight gross punting seasons. In 2020, Kern appeared in 13 games, missing three contests on injured reserve. He punted 37 times for a 45.8 gross average and a 41.5-yard net average with 22 punts placed inside the 20. Since the 1991 season, Kern's 59.5 percent of punts placed inside the 20 in 2020 was the best of any player with at least 30 punts in a season. When Kern was placed on injured reserve during the 2020 season, it ended his consecutive games played streak ended at 199 games, including his career with the Titans and Denver Broncos. At the time, he owned the fourth-longest active consecutive games played streak in the NFL. His streak with the Titans ended at 177 consecutive games played, finishing as the second-longest streak in franchise history behind Bruce Matthews’ 232 consecutive games from 1987 to 2001. With 183 career games with the Titans through 2020, Kern ranked fourth in franchise history behind Bruce Matthews (296), Elvin Bethea (210) and Brad Hopkins (194). Kern's total was the most for any player during the franchise's "Titans era" (since 1999). In 2019, Kern was named to the Pro Bowl for the third consecutive season, and he earned first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors for the first time in his career. His 37 punts inside the 20 led the NFL, and his 43.1yard net average ranked second in team history. In 2018, his 47.1-yard gross average ranked fifth in team history, and his 41.7-yard net average ranked second in team annals. He set a franchise record and recorded a career high with 39 of his 74 punts inside the 20-yard line. He finished the season with a career-long streak of 16 consecutive punts placed inside the 20, including every punt in the final three games of the season. In 2017, Kern had arguably one of the best seasons by a punter in NFL history and was named to his first career Pro Bowl in addition to earning second-team Associated Press All-Pro honors. He punted 75 times for 3,728 yards with 28 punts placed inside the 20-yard line. His 44.6-yard net average broke his own team record and finished second in NFL history behind only Johnny Hekker's 46.0-yard net average in 2016. Kern's 49.7-yard gross average also broke his team mark and finished eighth in NFL history. In 2015, Kern continued his annual assault on the team’s all-time punting records and accomplished a first-of-its-kind NFL feat, becoming the first punter in league history to record 80 or more punts, a net average of 40 yards, and one or zero touchbacks in a single season. His season totals included 88 punts (tied for fifth place in franchise history), a 47.4-yard gross average (second in franchise history), a 40.3 net average (third in franchise history), a career-high 34 punts inside the 20 (third in franchise history) and only one touchback (career low). In 2014, Kern launched a career-high 88 total punts for a gross average of 46.8 yards and a net average of 40.8 yards, which broke his own single-season team record (40.4-yard net average in 2012). Kern produced one of the best punting seasons in team history in 2012. He set then-franchise records with a gross punting average of 47.6 yards and a net punting average of 40.4 yards (he later broke both marks). Kern was claimed by the Titans off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Oct. 27, 2009. He spent the entire 2008 season and the first six games of 2009 campaign in Denver, totaling 73 punts and a 46.5-yard average in 22 games with the Broncos. In 2008, Kern ranked fifth in the league with a 46.7-yard punting average that marked the third-best season total by a Bronco in club history. At the time, his punting average was the best in NFL history by a rookie. He was named to the All-Rookie team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA and The Sporting News.

MIKE VRABEL TRANSCRIPT

HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT Monday, September 6, 2021 (on guard Nate Davis and center Ben Jones coming off the COVID list) Very hopeful. I would anticipate those guys having a few days of practice before they play in a football game. (on if offensive lineman David Quessenberry is the starting right tackle) He will probably work there. He is going to have to know and play all four spots for us, both guards and the tackles. We will see how that plays out through the week. I think Kendall (Lamm) will have opportunities, Ty (Sambrailo) will have opportunities, but not really ready to name a starter. I think all those guys are probably going to play in the game for us. (David Quessenberry) has been out there, he has been very efficient and been available and durable. We’ve got some guys coming back, that may change today based on Ben (Jones)’s and Nate (Davis)’s availability and not being here, but that may look different toward the end of the week here too. (on if they have voted for team captains yet) Wednesday. (on if he thought he would be less concerned about COVID this year compared to last) I would say that nothing would surprise me. We just have to kind of – everybody, whether it is the league, whether is it is your family, whether it is my family, we all have to just understand that we are going to deal with some things, we are going to have to deal with positive test results from vaccinated people. We will follow the protocols how we have to and try to be as safe as we possibly can. (on if he talked to the players before the weekend off about staying safe) I think we are always just trying to be smart about what we do. Judging from the games that I watched, I didn’t see that COVID was much of a concern for anybody, but we have to be smart in the decisions that we make. Whether it is who we hang out with, what we do, and I think that they are very conscious of that. (on how much different the feel is at practice during the regular season) We are at that stage where we are preparing to win. We have been through the training camp, talked about the foundation we are trying to build, developing roles and establishing roles on this football team. I think now we are at the time where you have to prepare to win. There is a specific opponent with players that have a certain skillset, that have a play style. We are putting a plan in. They are putting a plan in as well. That is where we are at now, so hopefully we can come out here with some energy and focus and have all those details now transfer to an opponent. (on the rookies getting a full offseason to workout) I think some of those guys have improved and will continue to improve and help us in different ways. Those are some of the guys that are trying to find and identify what their role is and how they are going to help this football team. (on how much he has looked at Arizona and if he has done more research than other opponents) Well, as much as you can do based on last year. They have a certain style and a very unique quarterback that is unbelievably effective in operating what Kliff (Kingsbury) wants to do offensively and their type of play. There are going to be a lot of things that come up in Week One that we have not seen. There will be new things and we will have to be ready to keep our composure, communicate, get lined up, execute, play with great effort, all those things that we talk about because they will have things they will show on Sunday that we haven’t seen. (on if it will be a point emphasis to get quarterback Ryan Tannehill and wide receiver Julio Jones reps in practice) I think that goes without saying. I don’t think I will have to say too much of it. Ryan (Tannehill) is going to have to build a relationship with him on the football field. They have met extensively, and we have talked about it. Now we have to go out and operate on the practice field and prepare for some of the things we will see on Sunday. I would highly doubt that I would have to. I am going to evaluate what we are seeing on the practice field and what it looks like and what the timing of those routes looks like and being at a place where the quarterback wants him. (on if a linebacker should be making the most tackles on the team) I think there is a lot of teams – I mean, Arizona has an unbelievable player that led their team in tackles as well. I don’t know. You have to try and get as many guys to the football as you possibly can. I know Kevin (Byard) played, I would imagine, every snap for us but as long as someone is making them short of the first down marker that is really all I care about. (on the cornerbacks deciding how much distance to give while in press coverage) I think you have to continue to mix it up. If you want to go out here and press (DeAndre) Hopkins every play it is just going to be a fade fest, and you have to sit there and take your chances because that is what it is going to be. There are certainly conversations, some conversations about who that player is, what your skillset is, and there is discussions about playing up. I mean, third-and-five and we call man coverage and they are bunched up, you can’t press all three guys so you have to be able to level it off however you are going to handle that combination route. (on if it isn’t aggressive to line up in off-coverage on third down) Only if you back up beyond the sticks and they catch it at the sticks, yeah certainly. You watch some guys flatfooted at seven yards and you try to play square. If guys are backing up in the endzone that would certainly not be anything that we coach, or backing up and giving a cushion on third-and-six without some sort of traffic conflict. (on the defense and how excited he is to see the adjustments made during training camp come out in the regular season)

I think they have built an energy and they have been excited about playing defensive football how we expect. Communication – you have to know what you are talking about. There are things that I certainly wouldn’t be able to communicate because I am really not up to date on certain things or certain topics outside of football. I wouldn’t be able to communicate on them. They have to get to the level of understanding the details and understanding the concepts to be able to communicate. Somebody has got to be able to get a call and somebody has to be able to give a call so that everybody – lines moving the same direction, you are working with a defensive lineman on a stunt, those are all things that are critical. I do like that there is an energy and an excitement about playing football, defensive football. We saw that, I would say, most of the time in the preseason games. There were a few drives in there that weren’t what we were looking for. (on his expectations for the special teams units) Where do we want to improve? I expect that we make our kicks, I expect that we can cover kickoff with speed and aggressiveness. I expect that we protect our returners enough, we block for them and allow them the opportunity to make yards, field the punt. All those types of things. That we are sound. For Week One, there is certainly something that is critical about penalties and missed assignments and making sure we are sound and aware of what is going on. Whether there is a fake opportunity, or they are going to pressure. They blocked a punt last year in Week One. San Francisco was up 10-0 midway through the first quarter and it really changed the complexity of that game by them blocking that punt. It backed up and gave their offense a short field. That will be a huge key for us. (on seeing things start to click for the second-year players like defensive tackle Teair Tart and cornerback Kristian Fulton) I am with you, those were probably the names that came to mind as you were asking the question. Those guys are going to be starters for us on Sundays and they have to take the work they have put in. All the stuff they did in training camp, the corrections, the improvements, and now have to go out and do it in the regular season consistently for us. (on if has taken players a few days to get back conditionally when coming off the COVID list) I can only speak on the past and probably let you know about today. It probably took some guys last year – I don’t remember it being an issue. We are not going to clear somebody until we feel like they can go out here and do their job and do it in a manner of which we expect, and also for them to be able to function. We wouldn’t clear anybody that we didn’t feel like was ready to come back. (on if the players on the COVID list stay active while at home) I am sure, and I think – again, that would be a question for them. That is not something that I am monitoring. They check in with us, I check in with them. I would imagine that they are doing something. (on his regards to his former teammate David Patten) He was incredibly tough, he was a man of God, very quiet demeanor but made huge catches for us. Really shocking to see that the other day, my thoughts are with his family and those people he left behind. (on where cornerback Caleb Farley fits in to the team) He is just trying to work and be one of those guys that develops a role for us on this football team. When that happens and when we feel like he has done that, that will show. He is working and we have added and increased his reps throughout training camp and throughout the preseason games. We will see where that is this week after a few days off and how he responds and what he looks like.

HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT Wednesday, September 1, 2021 (on why he changed the schedule and inserted two regeneration days) Just figuring out what is best for the football team. Just trying to make sure – we are meeting, we are lifting, focusing on conditioning, we conditioned today. Next week is a long week and the more I thought about it, I thought this would be best for our football team and be able to take a few days off this weekend, come back Monday and really focus in and have a great week. It is a long week, and we have plenty of time. I feel like we are getting a lot out of the meetings and our preparation, and this is what I felt like what best for the football team. (on how good it feels back at the facility) Yeah, this is home. This is what, certainly we as coaches know, this is what I love to do. It is great to be around everybody again. You realize how much you miss it and how much you miss the interaction with the players and the staff and everybody. (on wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick not making the 53-man roster) I am sure Jon (Robinson) addressed most of the personnel issues. Same thing that always goes from my standpoint is how much can they do? How many positions can they play? How do they perform? Special teams is certainly something, whether they can return or whether they are two or three or even a four-phase special team guy. (on running back Mekhi Sargent and his pass blocking ability) I don’t think that would predominately be his number one job. I think that is something that will take time. He is willing and has shown that he is willing to stick it up in there and not shy away from the contact that is required. I wouldn’t say that would predominantly be his number one role or job as it stood now. I think that it is continuing to improve and that he is a willing blocker. (on how important it is to have quarterback Matt Barkley on the practice squad) It just gives us a lot of flexibility in what we are doing, some protection. I think Jon (Robinson) asked the question about having a third quarterback and what we may do at that position. Certainly like Matt (Barkley)’s demeanor and willingness to work and his arm talent, so we will keep working with him on the practice squad. (on the message to the players who did make the roster and those players that did not) I think the message is the same, that the roster will remain fluid as we work our way through the entire season, not just here in the first week. Anyone that is on the practice squad or anyone that is on the active roster should be ready to play if they are healthy and available. We have seen guys get called up on Friday or Saturday and make an impact in the football game and earn opportunities that way. If they are here, they are expected to be ready to perform. Whether that happens every week, I am not sure, but there is a lot of flexibility with the standard elevation and the callups. (on the reason for keeping six safeties on the active roster) Again, I think Jon (Robinson) probably handled most of the personnel conversations. The safety position is something where you are going to have to help us on special teams. I think you guys have seen since we have been here, you know, Kevin Byard was a PP on the punt teams for sure while he started. There is a lot of times where we play with three safeties on the field. I think those guys have to do a lot, that is a versatile position where guys are down in the box, back in the middle part of the field, they are in the half, and sometimes they are blitzing. That is an intriguing position throughout the league and don’t think we can have enough of them. (on if the short-term injured reserve will be something they use before opening day) I think so. That is something that we have and we will have to see who is going to be available. Those are conversations we have with Todd (Toriscelli), Jon (Robinson), and myself on who is going to be available at what point in time of the season. I think those things are going to have to happen. Those moves are going to have to happen, I don’t know which ones specifically, but you are going to have to make room for those guys come off of COVID. (on quarterback Ryan Tannehill returning) I think we are hopeful that this will be a positive next few days for us in that regard. (on if the Arizona gameplan is done) It is not done. We are focusing on bits and pieces of it. We will be well ahead of where we would be on a normal week. You only have a few preseason games to go on and whatever they played last year, knowing that there is going to be looks on all three phases. I think you have to be careful doing too much early in the season. You have to go out there and let these guys’ base rules and fundamentals take over. Sit there and say, ‘Hey, this is what you are going to get,’ because I don’t think anybody knows exactly what you are going to get. We can try to narrow it down for them and understand the concepts they may see, but to say 100 percent or 90 percent be able to say, ‘Hey, you are going to get this,’ you can’t. There is just not enough evidence on film. Going back to the gameplan, it is in, I wouldn’t say it is entirely in, but we will work our way through how much we give the players each day. (on outside linebacker Rashad Weaver bumping inside) I think that is just how it kind of turned out there in the preseason. He made some plays in there and made some plays out on the edge. On third down we are just trying to find some different pieces and guys that can backup or play more than one position. (on if the coaching staff is doing well) I think our coaching staff is doing well.

(on how important it was as a player to play preseason games before starting the regular season) I think that depends on the year. There is a level to preparation that probably needs to happen. As far as just a mindset of it not just being a practice, and you are going out there to try to accomplish something. Whether that be 15 plays, 20 plays, or as some younger players, or when I was a younger player, 50 plays and all of special teams. Without knowing who you are referencing I still think that is it important. There are a lot of factors that go into guys that we have played here in the past or even this year during the preseason. (on his experience during quarantine and how his family is doing) Everybody is fine. Jen (Vrabel) is good, the kids are good. The basement is pretty much where I hung out. (on if was easy to meet on Zoom and if he ran into any difficulties) It was smooth sailing. Just imagine one of your Zoom interviews that you try to get on and it felt the same way. The hamster wheel, the blue wheel of death that comes up on the XSOS machine that means it is about ready to crash and then the power goes out about every hour down Hillsboro Pike, so those were a lot of things that we dealt with. (on where wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick needs to grow to be ready for an opportunity to play) We have had conversations with Dez (Fitzpatrick), and just the consistency, the willingness to play without the football in your hand. It is what you are going to have to do to play receiver, is be able to go and do things without the football in your hand and also then be really good when you are running routes and catching the football. We have had conversations with Dez (Fitzpatrick), we will continue to have conversations, continue to coach him and we will see where it all goes as the season unfolds. (on what receivers have to do to be successful when they don’t have the ball in their hands) Everything that you can do without the football in your hand. Running great routes – there are times where we ask guys to, for a lack of better term, smoke it through the middle of the field. Now, they have to respect you, they have to honor you, which then could open up other routes, intermediate routes. That would be a way you could play better without the ball in your hands, or you have to clear something out or you have to run a route to rub or open up things, and then as well as blocking. (on what challenges the Arizona Cardinals present in Week One) They are obviously talented. They have a dynamic quarterback that can go 80 yards. I saw third down-and-17 and he scrambles for a first down. He goes 70 yards against Carolina, 70 yards or something like that. Pulls it in the red zones, 20-yard touchdowns, he slides, he makes you miss, and he has a strong arm. I think that was the thing that shocked me the most was how strong his arm is. He is very willing to throw outward breaking routes across the field. Two good tailbacks, Obviously (DeAndre) Hopkins, our familiarity with him, A.J. Green, the inside receivers, the ones they have coming back. They have some new pieces and center that I have a lot of respect for who has been a great player for a lot of years. They have a lot of length on defense, on the edges, and then they have added length inside with (Zaven) Collins and (Isaiah) Simmons. Budda Baker is a very disruptive player from anywhere on the field. We could go all the way down and through the roster, but talented and a lot of length on defense that we will have to deal with when we try to either run or throw the football. (on if it is challenging for offensive coordinator Tood Downing to call plays with all the talented players on offense) I think that is all just going to be part of it. There are things you think, OK, I am sure there are plays that we are going to have that maybe are for a specific player or maybe aren’t, and you can kind of just call it and run it with whoever is in there. I am sure there will be plays that are designed for each guy. It is a work in progress as far as just making sure that those guys that are going to be coming back in there that maybe we haven’t seen so much in preseason are working hard. Those guys have been and I am really excited for Monday.

TITANS-FALCONS: GAME SUMMARY Preseason Week 1: Titans 23, Falcons 3 Friday, Aug. 13, 2021 • 7:00 p.m. ET • Mercedes-Benz Stadium In Week 1 of the 2021 preseason, the Titans traveled to Atlanta and beat the Falcons 23-3. Tennessee shut out Atlanta in the first half and limited the Falcons to just three points overall, allowing 138 total yards of offense and just 21 net passing yards. The Titans defense racked up five sacks and held the Falcons to a pair of third-down conversions on 12 attempts. It was the club’s first preseason game since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 season. In the first quarter, WR Chester Rogers provided a spark with a 57-yard punt return that gave Tennessee possession at the Atlanta 14-yard line. Capitalizing on the field position, the Titans got on the board as K Tucker McCann made a 26-yard field goal, 3-0. In the second quarter, LB David Long Jr. initiated Tennessee’s next scoring drive by intercepting Falcons QB AJ McCarron at the Atlanta 34-yard line. QB Logan Woodside tossed a 15-yard touchdown to WR Cameron Batson as the Titans extended the lead, 10-0. Later in the second quarter, Woodside guided the Titans on an 11-play scoring drive that included first-down receptions by RB Mekhi Sargent and WR Mason Kinsey. Ultimately, McCann tacked on a 42-yard field goal to increase the Tennessee lead, 13-0. Atlanta opened the second half with a 10-play scoring drive that culminated in a 42-yard field goal by Falcons K Younghoe Koo, 13-3. QB Matt Barkley took over on offense for the Titans in the second half and connected with Kinsey for two first-down passes to move the sticks, as K Sam Ficken converted a 44-yard field goal for Tennessee, 16-3. In the fourth quarter, the Titans tacked on another scoring drive. Sargent contributed four carries for 26 yards, as ultimately Barkley connected with TE Miller Forristall for a 12-yard touchdown. The Titans won the game by a final score of 23-3.

TITANS-BUCCANEERS: GAME SUMMARY Preseason Week 2: Titans 34, Buccaneers 3 Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021 • 7:30 p.m. ET • Raymond James Stadium In Week 2 of the 2021 preseason, the Titans traveled to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers for joint practices, culminating in a preseason game at the conclusion of the week. The Titans won by a score of 34-3, allowing the Buccaneers to gain just 17 rushing yards on 15 attempts, and finishing the contest plus-three in the turnover margin. Tennessee got on the board first with a seven-play, 43-yard scoring drive in the opening stanza, and never relinquished the lead. QB Matt Barkley connected with WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and WR Chester Rogers for first down passes. On fourth-andone at the Tampa Bay five-yard line, Barkley tossed a five-yard touchdown to RB Mekhi Sargent as Tennessee took an early lead, 7-0. In the second quarter, Sargent tallied four carries for 27 yards to help get down the field. K Sam Ficken converted a 48-yarder to extend Tennessee’s lead, 10-0. Tampa Bay responded later in the second quarter with their only score of the night on a six-play, 14-yard possession that resulted in a 49-yard field goal by Buccaneers K Ryan Succop, 10-3. With under two minutes remaining in the first half, the Titans moved the ball from their own 21-yard line to the Buccaneers 40-yard line, as Ficken tacked on a 58-yard field goal to make it a 13-3 contest heading into halftime. On Tampa Bay’s opening drive of the second half, Buccaneers QB Kyle Trask threw a pass to Buccaneers TE Tanner Hudson. However, Hudson fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by CB Briean Boddy-Calhoun and returned for a 42-yard touchdown. Tennessee went ahead, 20-3. On the following Titans possession, QB Logan Woodside led the offense on a 76-yard scoring drive that saw first downs by RB Brian Hill and Sargent. Ultimately, Woodside connected with WR Dez Fitzpatrick for a 23-yard touchdown as the Titans extended the lead, 27-3. In the fourth quarter, a Trask pass was intercepted by S Clayton Geathers and

returned 30 yards to the Tampa Bay 23-yard line. Tennessee quickly capitalized on the turnover as Barkley connected with WR Mason Kinsey for a 20-yard touchdown. Tennessee increased the lead to 34-3 and preserved the score to seal a victory at Tampa Bay. SCORING Tennessee Tampa Bay

TITANS-BEARS: GAME SUMMARY Preseason Week 3: Titans 24, Bears 27 Saturday, Aug. 28, 2021 • 6:00 p.m. CT • Nissan Stadium In the final week of the 2021 preseason, the Titans hosted the Bears and fell to Chicago by a score of 27-24. In accordance with NFL COVID-19 protocols, Head Coach Mike Vrabel did not attend the contest. Special teams coach Craig Aukerman handled team communication with players, while coordinator of football development John Streicher handled game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management. Tennessee got on the board first in the second quarter with an 11-play scoring drive that featured two first-down receptions by WR Cameron Batson. The drive resulted in RB Mekhi Sargent plunging into the end zone on fourth down for a one-yard touchdown, as the Titans took a 7-0 lead. After forcing Chicago to punt, QB Logan Woodside threw a pick-six to Bears DB Tre Roberson who returned the ball for a game-tying 27yard touchdown, 7-7. On the ensuing possession, Tennessee responded with a 72-yard scoring drive. QB Matt Barkley connected with FB Khari Blasingame for a 50-yard screen pass to flip field position and give the Titans possession at the Chicago six-yard line, but Tennessee was forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal to pull ahead, 10-7. Before the first half ended, Chicago tacked on another score as Bears QB Justin Fields connected with Bears TE Jesper Horsted for a 20-yard touchdown, taking a 14-10 advantage into halftime. Chicago opened up the second half with a touchdown score to extend their lead. With Bears QB Nick Foles directing the offense, Horsted caught his second score of the day on a six-yard touchdown pass to make it a 21-10 game. On the ensuing Tennessee possession, the Titans responded with a touchdown of their own. RB Brian Hill rushed for two first downs, and Barkley connected with WR Dez Fitzpatrick for a 28-yard gain, before RB Javian Hawkins ran in a one-yard touchdown. The Titans cut the lead to 2117. Tennessee then took the lead in the fourth quarter on a 78-yard scoring drive, successfully converting the team’s second fourth down attempt for a touchdown. With Bat-

son and TE Miller Forristall catching first-down receptions to move the sticks, the Titans found themselves with a fourth-and-one at the Chicago six-yard line. Woodside connected with Batson for a six-yard touchdown as Tennessee took a 24-21 advantage. Later in the fourth quarter, Foles threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Horsted for his third score of the night. Chicago retook the lead, and the Titans were unable to construct a comeback. Tennessee fell by a final score of 27-24. SCORING Chicago Tennessee TEAM Titans Titans Titans Bears Bears Titans Titans Bears

LAST WEEK’S GAME CLIPS

TITANS DROP PRESEASON FINALE TO BEARS, NOW TURN FOCUS TO ROSTER CUTS, REGULAR SEASON BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 28, 2021 NASHVILLE – There was nothing normal about the Titans preseason finale on Saturday night. For starters, head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't there, unable to coach due to COVID-19 protocols. Roughly a half-dozen Titans players also weren't available, along with two assistant coaches, due to protocols. Instead, as the team announced earlier in the day, special teams coach Craig Aukerman handled team communication with players, while John Streicher, coordinator of football development, handled game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management. All of this on a night when the Titans held out a good number of their front-liners against the Chicago Bears. Yes, it was an interesting way to wrap up the preseason. Now, following the team's 27-24 loss to the Bears, it's time to turn the focus to the regular season, which will kick off on September 12 against the Arizona Cardinals at Nissan Stadium.

must trim their rosters to 53 players by Tuesday, which means many of the players who suited up for the Titans against the Bears won't be on the team by mid-week. Others, meanwhile, will find themselves on the team's practice squad. Some big decisions are on the horizon. "The biggest thing is you can't control anything besides your play, and what you do on a daily basis," receiver Cameron Batson. "Each and every day you have to keep going out there and pushing regardless of the circumstances." But first, let's take a look back at Saturday night, as the Titans wrapped up their preseason slate with a 2-1 record with wins over the Falcons and Buccaneers, and the loss to the Bears. The Titans once again showed positive signs on offense and defense, but there were more mistakes in this one compared to the previous two games, when they outscored their opponents by a combined score of 57-6. Early on, Simmons and linebacker Jayon Brown combined to stop Bears running back Damien Williams on the fourth-and-one run late in the first quarter, which gave the Titans good field position. Quarterback Logan Woodside, who took over for starter Matt Barkley, then directed an 11-play, 51-yard drive to give the Titans a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. The drive was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by Mekhi Sargent on 4th and goal from the one-yard line.

"Of course, guys talked about that just in the locker room," Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons said after the game. "It's next-game mentality. We haven't started yet all the way on the Cardinals, but whenever that time comes, I'm sure coaches are going to have the right game plan in place and put us in the right position to get that win for game one."

The Bears tied the game when Woodside was picked off by cornerback Tre Roberson, who returned it 27 yards for an interception to make it 7-7 with 7:22 left in the first half. Woodside was hit as he threw the ball, and Roberson intercepted the errant pass and took it in for the score.

Before then, some tough decisions will need to be made. All NFL teams

The Titans reclaimed the lead late in the second quarter, thanks in large

part to a 50-yard gain on a screen pass from Barkley to fullback Khari Blasingame, who showed some serious speed on the play. It set up a 21-yard field goal by kicker Sam Ficken, which made it 10-7 with 1:47 left before halftime. But the Bears answered back 55 seconds later on a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Fields to tight end Jesper Horsted to make it 14-10 Bears at the half. The Bears made it 21-10 early in a third quarter on a Nick Foles touchdown pass to Horsted, this one from six yards out. The Titans had a pretty quick onetwo punch for an answer, however, as running back Javian Hawkins scored on a one-yard touchdown drive to cap off a 10-play, 80-yard drive with 3:04 left in the third quarter. Hawkins just got to town on Thursday, signed to help a running backs room depleted by bad health. Then, Woodside connected with Batson for a six-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-one to give the Titans a 24-21 lead early in the fourth quarter. Chicago didn't fold, however, as Foles connected with Holsted for yet another touchdown – this one from 54 yards – to give the Bears a 27-24 lead with 6:51 left, and the Titans couldn't rally. Woodside ended up completing 12of-17 passes for 100 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the contest. Barkley, meanwhile, completed 7-of-15 passes for 126 yards with an interception. Sargent ended with 51 yards rushing, while running back Brian Hill led the team with 63 rushing yards. Batson was the team's leading receiver with four catches for 45 yards and the score. "One thing I did was try and give everything I had tonight," Woodside

said. "Just try and be out there with the guys and lead them down the field and score points. … The preseason is now over, and now we're going on to Arizona. We've already looked at Arizona a little bit. For me, I just want to watch the tape and see how I can improve and see what happens over the next few days." The Titans return to the practice field on Monday, with roster cuts scheduled for a day later. ###

TENNESSEE TITANS FALL TO CHICAGO BEARS IN PRESEASON FINALE: 7 QUICK TAKEAWAYS BY BEN ARTHUR THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 28, 2021 The Tennessee Titans finished 2021 preseason play at 2-1, as they fell to the Chicago Bears 27-24 on Saturday night at Nissan Stadium. Here are a few quick takeaways: Woodside with edge in backup QB battle heading to roster cuts? Neither Logan Woodside nor Matt Barkley looked great – both had interceptions – but Woodside showed toughness in weathering some big hits after shaky pass protection and made some nice throws late in the game, including a goal-line fade to wide receiver Cam Batson for a touchdown in the final period. Woodside finished the game 12 of 17 for 100 yards and a touchdown with an interception and an 80.5 passer rating. Barkley had an awful interception in the first quarter in the red zone. Off a play-action pass, he targeted Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who had three defenders in front of him. Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan had the easy interception, and he returned the ball to the Chicago 31 for 24 yards. Barkley finished the game 7 of 15 for 126 yards with a 48.2 passer rating. He had two more near interceptions in the fourth quarter. Woodside had a pick-six in the second quarter, but one could argue the fault was with the pass protection. Offensive tackle Christian DiLauro was beat on the left edge by Bears outside linebacker Trevis Gipson with a speed move, and Gipson hit Woodside as he threw, shortening the distance of the pass.

Still, Woodside could have had a better feeling for the rush on the play.

Batson makes lasting impression in competitive WR room

Star left tackle Taylor Lewan, left guard Rodger Saffold III and Kendall Lamm played, as they all made their preseason debut in the finale. Lewan and Saffold played the first two drives, while Lamm played the third and fourth series.

It wasn't just the aforementioned score for Batson. On the Titans’ first-quarter touchdown drive, he had a diving catch to get Tennessee in the red zone. Then, two plays later, he had a 17-yard catch and run to bring the team to the 3-yard line, shaking off one defender and fighting for extra yardage on the play.

Hitting the field marked a big step for Lewan, who’s 2020 season ended prematurely with a torn ACL in Week 6. The Titans had been ramping him up throughout training camp and preseason practices.

Batson has been somewhat of an afterthought in a competitive wide receiver room, but he made plays Saturday that should help his case for a roster spot. He’s played 23 games with the Titans (2018, 2020).

Lamm returned to practice the week after an extended absence. He told reporters that he re-aggravated an injury that he suffered in a playoff game against the Chiefs last season.

Batson finished Saturday as the Titans' second-leading receiver: Four catches (on four targets) for 45 yards and a touchdown.

Lewan, Saffold and Lamm all play

Starting center Ben Jones and right guard Nate Davis did not play in the preseason. Streicher flexes muscles Holding many head-coaching responsibilities against the Bears with Mike Vrabel out because of COVID-19 protocols, coordinator of football operations John Streicher had some nice moments. In the second quarter, he went for it on 4th & goal at the 1-yard line and the Titans scored a touchdown, courtesy of a run by undrafted rookie running back Mekhi Sargent. Streicher also challenged the ruling of a pass completion later in the quarter on third down, winning the challenge, and the Bears faced a fourth down instead of a first down before punting. Streicher was shown on the broadcast smiling and having a good time on the sidelines. The Titans announced earlier Saturday that Streicher would handle game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management.

Titans’ defense finally lets up (with backups) The Titans’ defense was dominant in the first two preseason games, holding opponents to a combined six points (no touchdowns) and 4for-26 on third down. It wasn't as stout Saturday. Chicago scored three touchdowns on the Titans' D, with the Bears defense scoring the fourth touchdown. Most Titans' starters sat out after the first couple defensive stands, so it was the reserves getting most of the work ahead of roster cuts. Why did Amani Hooker take puntreturn rep? Amani Hooker, one of the Titans starting safeties and a player whose roster spot is secured, was second in line to return a punt Saturday. Not Batson or Mason Kinsey, who are fighting for spots on the roster. That was a decision that didn’t seem to benefit the latter two. Brian Hill flashes Veteran running back Brian Hill had a slow start to the preseason, but he was the Titans' leading rusher Saturday with 14 carries for 63

yards. He even threw a defender on a run near the goal line. Hill did, however, get hurt in the fourth quarter, and the severity of the issue was unclear immediately after the game. Up next Teams must reduce their rosters from 80 players to the regularseason limit of 53 by 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday. Tennessee hosts the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 on Sept. 12. ###

SIX THINGS THAT STOOD OUT FOR THE TITANS IN SATURDAY'S PRESEASON LOSS TO THE BEARS BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 28, 2021 NASHVILLE – The Titans lost to the Bears 27-24 in the preseason finale at Nissan Stadium on Saturday night. Here's a look at six things that stood out from the contest: "Kudos to Stretch" Head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't on the sideline due to COVID-19 protocols, and even though we knew that would be the case, it was still strange. In his absence, special teams coach Craig Aukerman handled team communication with players, while John "Stretch" Streicher, coordinator of football development, handled game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management. Streicher ended up winning a challenge, and he also went for it twice on 4th and 1, and both were successful, resulting in touchdowns. "You always are looking to the sideline, looking to hear coach Vrabel's voice – he is always animated, and hyped," receiver Cameron Batson said. "He gets the guys going, so it was definitely different not having him on the sideline. (But) it was great seeing Stretch out there. Stretch is a great guy, knows the game in and out. When Vrabes told him he'd be taking over the duties for tonight, I know Stretch was happy. He actually made a good call when he threw the red flag out there on that catch (that was overturned). So, kudos to stretch." Blasingame's Speed Titans fullback Khari Blasingame added some weight this offseason by design. He did it so he'd be sturdier as a blocker in front of running back Derrick Henry. It doesn't look like Blasingame, who

played at Vanderbilt, lost any speed because of it. Blasingame caught a screen pass from quarterback Matt Barkley, and he raced downfield for a 50-yard gain. His speed was on full display as he raced through would-be tacklers before he was taken down at the Chicago six-yard line. "(OC Todd Downing) dialed it up and just tried to go through my assignment and do what I had to do, and it turned out well," Blasingame said. "(I was) just trying to go over there and do my job." Return of Taylor Lewan, and Others Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan didn't play a lot in the preseason finale, but for the first time since suffering a torn ACL last October, he played. Lewan started against the Bears, alongside left guard Rodger Saffold. The veterans joined center Daniel Munyer, right guard Dillon Radunz and right tackle David Quessenberry in the starting lineup. "It was awesome," Lewan said. "I was just so excited to go play, and I have worked so hard since October to make that happen. I felt like the exact same guy. I felt – it was just awesome to be out there, especially being out there with Rodger and those guys. I am just happy. It was literally just one of the best feelings ever just to know that – you keep telling yourself through the process you are going to be OK, it is going to be all right, then when you are actually able to play you know it is going to be all right." Batson's Heart Receiver Cameron Batson is a fighter, and a competitor. Batson rose to the occasion again on Saturday night, as he led the team with four catches for 45 yards and a touchdown. Batson caught a sixyard touchdown pass from quarterback Logan Woodside on a fourth-down play. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound Batson led the Titans with two receiving touchdowns in the preseason. "Me and the guys were joking," Batson said. "They were like: They can't measure your heart. And that is the thing: I have a big heart. You can measure my height and my weight, but I am

going to go out and give it my all regardless of my size." QB Play The Titans alternated quarterbacks again on Saturday night. Chances are, that likely would've been the case even if starter Ryan Tannehill hadn't ended up on the team's Reserve/COVID-19 list. The reps gave back-up QBs Logan Woodside and Matt Barkley one more chance to shine before decisions are made. I liked Woodside's spunk – he made some nice throws while taking some hits, and he finished the night 12-of17 for 100 yards with a score and an INT. Woodside finished the preseason 29-of-40 for 248 yards and three touchdowns, with an INT, and a passer rating of 102.9. "I jus tried to give everything I had out there tonight," Woodside said. Barkley, meanwhile, started the game and finished 7-of-15 for 126 yards with one touchdown and an interception. Barkley finished the preseason 24-of-39 for 295 yards with three touchdowns and a pick. Now, the Titans have a decision to make on their No.2 QB. "It is up on the air for a lot of guys," Barkley said. "You just have to stay confident in who you are no matter what happens and just believe in yourself at the end of the day." What About the Defense? The Titans defense, after not allowing a touchdown in the first two preseason games, gave up a touchdown on Saturday night. The unit gave up three TDs, in fact. It wasn't a horrific night for the defense – the Titans gave up only 12 first downs, and 252 yards of total offense. The Bears converted just 3of-10 on third down. The Titans got a fourth and one stop, but on this night, the defense managed just one sack and no turnovers. "I was encouraged with the way we have been playing," Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. "Not necessarily the points aspect of it, but the way we have been playing, the energy, the flying around. … But I've been encouraged up to this point with guys momentum that we're kind of

starting to build, confidence, everything that goes with it." ###

TITANS LOSE AFTER A TOUGH WEEK, BUT IT’S NOT A STRETCH TO SAY THEY’RE HAVING FUN BY JOE REXRODE THE ATHLETIC AUGUST 28, 2021 John “Stretch” Streicher is usually the one behind the scenes, as he has been since he was a student assistant for the Ohio State football team — he was so behind the scenes in 2012, he lived in a closet in a football building office. “Stretch” was a reference to his tall, lanky frame, but also to what he could do with a dollar. Mike Vrabel, then an assistant under Urban Meyer, would blow up a mattress on Tuesday nights during the season and that office would become a place for film study and storytelling until well into Wednesday morning. Streicher has essentially been Vrabel’s personal assistant in three seasons in Nashville, though he’s much more than that, his duties including a lot of on-field help during practices and in-booth help during games. When Vrabel challenges a call, Streicher is the one who gives him as much info as is available on the play in question to make a snap decision. So you better believe Streicher was going to take advantage of the opportunity to throw the flag himself Saturday night. On this occasion, Streicher went with his own instincts and the Chicago Bears incompletion he believed he saw on the field, no booth input involved. Unlike Vrabel, “Stretch” is 100 percent on challenges. But Streicher’s one-night-only move from the Titans’ coordinator of football development to the Titans’ acting head coach earns Vrabel commendation as well because it helped make a mundane preseason game more fun. This hasn’t exactly been a fun week in Nashville, either. The Titans wore Floyd Reese stickers on their helmets to honor the team’s former general manager

who died Aug. 21 at 73 after battling cancer. Before the game (a 27-24 loss to the Bears to finish the preseason 2-1), Nissan Stadium observed a moment of silence for victims of the tragic flooding in Waverly, also last weekend. And it’s been an unwelcome flashback to last season’s COVID19 outbreak in the facility, a total of 12 players and coaches affected, including Vrabel, who tested positive Aug. 22 and remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. A total of seven players and three coaches remained on the list Saturday, including quarterback Ryan Tannehill. General manager Jon Robinson said this week the Titans are at 97-98 percent vaccinated or with COVID-19 antibodies, so this has been a reminder that the vaccinated can still test positive, and that the season is destined to see more disruptions and frequent COVID-19 updates. And the clock is getting shorter on Tannehill and Julio Jones building chemistry before they are a full-time passcatch combo in games that count. But it’s not all bad. The COVID-19 timing could be much worse, of course, with two weeks to go until the Sept. 12 season opener against Arizona. Robinson also made the point that players and coaches who have been injected with the “lifesaving vaccine” have had very mild and very brief symptoms. Vrabel was still involved all week, including on a large TV via video conference for the Titans’ kickoff luncheon for fans, and naming Streicher the acting head coach had to bring a smile to every face in the Titans’ building. “Stretch did an awesome job tonight … I was proud of Stretch,” Titans quarterback Logan Woodside said after a night that likely strengthened his claim on the backup job. Streicher, who has aspirations to be a general manager but said he also enjoys the coaching side of things, won that challenge on a Bears completion and went for it on fourth down three times – the Titans scoring touchdowns on two of them.

The WKRN-Channel 2 broadcast showed his family cheering him on. Every team has people like Streicher who do a lot behind the scenes, and now more fans of this team know who he is. “I think he enjoyed it a lot, man,” Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said of Streicher, Bowen also noting that he anticipated seeing some text messages from Vrabel when he checked his phone after the presser. “It was great to be down on the field, see the game from a different angle, feel the emotion of the players,” Streicher said via text after the game — he did not have head coach press conference duties. “Guys played hard, just too sloppy to win with the turnovers and the penalties. In this league, can’t give the opponent anything and we gave them way too much tonight. I appreciated seeing those guys battling in the second half. I obviously already had great respect for Vrabes, but being down there, I have a much greater appreciation for everything he handles on game day.” It’s not always easy to make the preseason fun, but this qualified. Taylor Lewan let out a sarcastic and booming “YESSSSS!” into the official’s microphone after the Titans won the opening coin toss. The crowd was impressive, lively and engaged. Oh, and there were some developments on the field that can matter in 2021 as well. Let’s break it down by position as Vrabel and his coaches prepare to cut the roster to 53 on Tuesday. Quarterback: Both competitors for QB2 had disastrous picks, Woodside’s returned for a touchdown, though he was hit on the arm, and Matt Barkley had no excuse for his into triple coverage. Both also had good moments. Woodside’s back-shoulder fade to Cam Batson for a touchdown, and the reaction of the Titans’ starters to Woodside in celebration, was one of those moments that reiterated how hard it is to imagine him being leapfrogged by Barkley. He also

showed how much more of a running threat he is. “Compared to two preseasons ago, I feel like I’m light years ahead of where I was,” said Woodside, who was 12-for-17 passing for 100 yards while Barkley finished 7-for-15 for 126. Running back: Mekhi Sargent did his thing, 17 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown, much more effective than Brian Hill (14 for 63) even if the stats don’t back it up. Starting fullback Khari Blasingame also showed his speed and why he could carry the ball if needed, erupting for 50 yards on a screen. Jeremy McNichols is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Darrynton Evans remains hurt for an undisclosed period. So Sargent will likely be on the initial roster Tuesday, but will he stick? No. 22 was on the sideline in a hat Saturday night, and boy, are these fans going to be happy to see him Sept. 12. Receiver: Not much to report here, other than Batson has been an afterthought in the race to earn a spot yet remains a heck of a tough, effective pro. Rookie Dez Fitzpatrick has had an encouraging week and had a 28-yard reception but also dropped what should have been a touchdown pass from Woodside. This will be the most intense competition until the final cut is made. “I have a big heart,” the 5-foot-8, 175-pound Batson said. “You can measure my height, my weight, but I’m gonna give it all regardless of my size.” Tight end: No one really made a move, and there may not be any moves to make at this point. Miller Forristall had a nice 16-yard catch but appears to be on the outside looking in. Anthony Firkser, Geoff Swaim (currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list), Luke Stocker and Tommy Hudson appear to be the quartet. Offensive line: Lewan played two series and looked totally healthy, an outstanding sign for him, this

offensive line and this team. Rodger Saffold also came out to play. Ben Jones and Nate Davis aren’t ready yet. Rookie Dillon Radunz got another extensive night of work, and he didn’t have any glaring mishaps like he did a week earlier at Tampa Bay. The right tackle race remains up in the air. David Quessenberry may be No. 1 right now, but Kendall Lamm, Ty Sambrailo and Radunz have time. Offensive coordinator Todd Downing didn’t want to get into that race immediately after the game, but he did say of Radunz: “He’s a resilient guy, he’s a high-character player. He’s got a long way to go, but I think he’s made of the right stuff.” Defensive line: Jeffery Simmons, Denico Autry and Teair Tart started, and Simmons looked like Simmons on a fourth-down stop. Larrell Murchison is banged up but will be the No. 4 lineman. And No. 5? That’s going to be very interesting. No one stood out in real time among the contenders. Outside linebacker: Bud Dupree will presumably debut Sept. 12. Harold Landry is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Titans actually started in a 4-2-5 look, with Derick Roberson on the edge. John Simon and Rashad Weaver got a lot of work. Weaver remains the favorite to be the third guy in support of Dupree and Landry. And he’s an interesting player, playing upright and with his hand in the ground at different times. Ola Adeniyi combined with Roberson on a sack of gifted Bears rookie Justin Fields. Adeniyi got there first, and the guess here is he makes the team over Roberson. “He gets off the ball,” Bowen said of Adeniyi. Inside linebacker: Rashaan Evans and Jayon Brown started again, and Evans went deeper into the game. Rookie Monty Rice made some plays. David Long Jr., who has been emerging as a likely sub package presence, didn’t play, and there was

no immediate word on why. He’s going to matter. Cornerback: Elijah Molden started in the slot, and it’s becoming increasingly likely that he will do exactly that Sept. 12. We’ll see if Chris Jackson can reclaim that spot if he gets healthy soon enough to do so. Even if he does, Molden is clearly emerging. First-round pick Caleb Farley played with the second unit – initially with corner starters Molden and Kristian Fulton – and did so with physicality and speed. He also gave up a couple of receptions. The likely starting trio is Fulton, Molden, Jackrabbit Jenkins to start the season. But Farley figures to force his way on the field if he remains free of setbacks. Safety: Matthias Farley is No. 3, I think. Is Bradley McDougald No. 4? It wasn’t a great night for the newish safeties competing for a spot that has been made more available by injuries to Dane Cruikshank and Brady Breeze — though the Bears only had 252 total yards and went 3for-10 on third down. But Fields and Nick Foles had their moments. Cruikshank may yet find his way onto the roster, health allowing. “After the first two (safeties, starters Kevin Byard and Amani Hooker), it’s been competitive,” Bowen said after Saturday’s game. “And we’re gonna have some tough decisions to make as this thing goes … it’s gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.” Special teams: Sam Ficken didn’t do anything to squander the job he’s closing in on, making a 21-yard chip shot and three extra points. If a call is going out to anyone else, it needs to happen as soon as possible. ###

BEARS 27, TITANS 24: MOMENTS THAT MATTERED BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM AUGUST 28, 2021 NASHVILLE – So much for the notion that the Tennessee Titans were unbeatable in the preseason. After two blowout victories, the Titans fell 27-24 to the Chicago Bears before an announced crowd of 64,079 Saturday at Nissan Stadium despite the fact that they scored first, led in the fourth quarter and outgained the Bears by a sizable margin (407-252). The big news of the night was that Tennessee played without head coach Mike Vrabel, two of his assistants and eight players who all were subject to the NFL’s COVID19 protocols at the end of a week in which the team dealt with an unexpected outbreak. Among those sidelined by issues related to the coronavirus were quarterback Ryan Tannehill and outside linebacker Harold Landry, which meant the Titans could not have played all of their starters on offense and defense – even if they wanted to. Of course, they did not want to as other notable players such as running back Derrick Henry and wide receivers A.J. Brown and Julio Jones were held out. Still, it was the last chance for coaches, personnel staff and even fans to evaluate players ahead of the regular season, and there were some meaningful moments. Here is a look. Pick-six: Exactly halfway through the second quarter, quarterback Logan Woodside was hit as he threw a pass intended for wide receiver Fred Brown. The floated off target and into the hands of cornerback Tre Roberson, who returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. That tied the score at 7-7 a little more than six minutes after the Titans had gone in front.

Coming into the contest, Tennessee was one of two NFL teams (Denver was the other) that had not committed a turnover or allowed a touchdown through the first two weeks of the preseason. Woodside’s interception was the second giveaway of the night (starting quarterback Matt Barkley was intercepted on his second possession) and the touchdown was the first allowed by the Titans – and it was the offense that gave it up. It opened a door in the defense, and Chicago’s offense scored touchdowns the next two times it got the ball. Ball in hand: Just under four minutes into the contest, the Titans handed the ball to fullback Khari Blasingame, who converted a thirdand-3 with a five-yard run. It was Tennessee’s first first down of the contest and the first third-down conversion on a night in which the offense moved the chains seven times in 17 tries. It also was the start of a relatively big night for Blasingame, who finished with two carries for six yards and two receptions for 56 yards. His 50-yard reception (pictured) led to a second-quarter field goal and was the longest gain for the offense. Consider that in the 21 games he has played in his NFL career (all with the Titans), Blasingame has yet to have a rushing attempt (he has caught eight passes). He was a hybrid back at Vanderbilt who ran the ball well over 300 times in three years, so he has that ability. Now, it’s clear that there are opportunities in the playbook for him to run the ball. Rough stuff: Cornerback Breon Borders was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he tackled wide receiver Rodney Adams with a little more than a minute to play in the first half. Officials took issue with the fact that Borders slung the 188-pound Adams to the ground violently rather than just drag him to the ground. On the next snap, the Bears offense scored for the first time on Jesper Horsted’s 20-yard touchdown reception (it was the first

of three Horsted touchdowns in the contest). The call against Borders came immediately after safety Matthias Farley was flagged for pass interference, and those two calls gave Chicago’s offense 35 yards. For the game, the Titans were penalized 10 times for 109 yards, by far the worst performance of the preseason in that regard. Only two of those penalties resulted in first downs, and it was those two – which combined to set up a touchdown. Throw the flag: With 11:42 to play in the second quarter, it looked as if Chicago would have an opportunity to answer Tennessee’s first touchdown sooner than it actually did. Quarterback Justin Fields connected with Adams for an 11yard gain on third down that gave the Bears a first down at their own 43 – or so the officials thought. The Titans challenged the play and video review determined that Adams was out of bounds. Chicago was forced to punt. Without Vrabel, it was coordinator of football development John Streicher who was in charge of the in-game decisions. Streicher was the one who threw the challenge flag, and he did so as the Bears hurried up to try and run their next play. The incident showed that minus the head coach and two of his assistants, the Tennessee sideline still functioned well and managed the game in a way that gave the team a better chance at victory. Four score: Wide receiver Cameron Batson scored the Titans’ final touchdown and gave them the lead in the fourth quarter with a 6-yard reception on a pass from quarterback Logan Woodside. It was fourth-and-1 and the coaches opted to go for it rather than attempt a field goal, and they ultimately did much more than just pick up a first down. It was the second time in as many games the offense scored a touchdown on a fourth-down pass. At Tampa Bay, it was running back Mekhi Sargent who scored in the

final minute of the first quarter with a five-yard reception on fourth-and1. One of the great mysteries about this team headed into 2021 is what Todd Downing’s promotion to offensive coordinator will mean to that unit. In the three preseason games combined, Tennessee was 4for-6 on third down. So, it seems clear at this point that Downing is comfortable, confident and capable with the calls when he has the smallest margin for error. ###

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH (NOT MUCH), IT WAS A SOLID PRESEASON FOR TENNESSEE TITANS BY GENTRY ESTES THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 28, 2021 Here’s something you probably don’t remember about the 2017 Cleveland Browns, a team forever infamous for failing to win a game in the regular season: They didn’t lose in the preseason. It’s true. They were 4-0. It was the first time in 31 years that the Browns had accomplished that. After the fourth victory – a 25-0 shutout of the Chicago Bears – Browns coach Hue Jackson told reporters, per the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that he could “see something building in our locker room.” Not so much, huh? That Cleveland team might be the best example – though far from the only one – of how NFL preseasons ultimately mean nothing when the games begin for real. That’s what was in the back of my mind as I watched fringe players and hopeful backups for the Tennessee Titans fight their hearts out Saturday night. Didn’t work out. Da Bears pulled out a 27-24 victory at Nissan Stadium, keeping the Titans from a 3-for-3 preseason. Oh well. This ended in the comfort that accompanies a lack of consequence. Everyone was going to be OK with this in about 10 minutes. Perhaps even coach Mike Vrabel, who wasn’t here while on COVIDrelated hiatus. Along with quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who probably wouldn’t have played anyway. They missed a good game. This was exciting. It was fun. It was critical

for some players in individual preseason position battles. That’s all it was, though. And that goes for the entire preseason schedule, really. Encouraging as this trio of games was for the Titans, I can’t in good conscience recommend placing any significance in them as it pertains to what’s going to happen when the Arizona Cardinals are in this stadium on Sept. 12. You already knew that without my saying so. You’ll want to do it anyway. Because the improvement that the Titans so badly want to see from their defense has been apparent. In the first two games, the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t muster a touchdown. They averaged a meager 172.5 offensive yards. They combined to go 4-for26 (15.4%) on third down. "I was encouraged with the way we'd been playing," defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. "Not necessarily the points aspect of it, but the way we've been playing – the energy, the flying around." The Bears fared better offensively by playing their first-round quarterback Justin Fields. He was followed by former Super Bowl winner Nick Foles, who tossed a couple of touchdowns, including a 54-yarder to put Chicago in front with 6:51 remaining. Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (1) throws the ball during the second quarter of an NFL preseason game against the Titans at Nissan Stadium Saturday, Aug. 28, 2021 in Nashville, Tenn. Good for the visitors. Whatever the game, you’d rather win than lose. But for the Titans' sake, here's what I'd have rather seen than a win: For Tannehill, Derrick Henry, Julio Jones and A.J. Brown to have practiced together more than a scant few minutes this training camp.

That's more significant than anything any of them could have done in a meaningless preseason game. None of the four played a snap in the preseason games, and that’s fine. What might not be fine is the lack of timing and cohesion that could result from the nagging injuries to Brown and Jones. With the star receivers finally returning to practice in the past week, now you've got Tannehill’s unexpected absence. That's not good. Consider this from quarterback Matt Barkley: "This offense is so timing-based with the routes that we run and the steps." It's hard to develop timing if you aren't on the field together. We’ll see if a less-than-ideal preseason slows down a loaded offense. That could happen. Can't say I'd bet on it. We’ll also see if a motivated defense really is better based on a promising August. Not sure I'd bet on that, either. All I know is that we don’t know yet. And it’s about time to find out. ###

TITANS CLOSE PRESEASON WITH LOSS TO BEARS BY TERRY MCCORMICK TITAN INSIDER AUGUST 29, 2021 For what it's worth, the Tennessee Titans finished the preseason with a 2-1 record losing a fourth-quarter lead to fall the Chicago Bears, 2724, Saturday night. Now comes the tougher part, roster cuts – in some instances made tougher by a few of Saturday's preseason performances. Of course, Mike Vrabel's perpsective was from the couch of his living room as he was in the Covid protocol and not at the game. Instead, he relinquished game calls and decisions to his assistant John “Stretch” Streicher. With many of the starters held out and a seven players – including quarterback Ryan Tannehill and outside linebacker Harold Landry on Covid reserve – the Titans still managed to get a last look in game situations at lots of players who are on the roster bubble with cutdown day looming on Tuesday afternoon. Both Matt Barkley and Logan Woodside got plenty of action as the Titans try to decide who will be their No. 2 quarterback behind Tannehill. Woodside finished 12 of 17 for 100 yards with a touchdown pass to Cam Batson and one interception that was returned by the Bears' Tre Roberson for a TD. Barkley, who got the start, was just 7 of 15 for 126 yards. He also had an interception that killed an early Titans scoring opportunity. “It was one of those plays where it was a timing route. I planted my foot in the ground and turned my head ready to throw the ball and You expect the backers to be up in the rush,” Barkley said of the pass that was intercepted by Chicago's Danny Trevathan. “I looked low and didn’t see anyone there, so I assumed they

were caught up in the mix. And then right as I was releasing it, you just know it’s not gonna be good. That’s just one of those throws you wish you had back.” The Titans defense held on a fourthdown play near midfield and got the football back for the offense as Woodside then directed a scoring drive for a 7-0 lead. Running back Mekhi Sargent scored from a yard out to give the Titans a lead. On Tennessee's next offensive series, however, a pass protection breakdown allowed Woodside's arm to be hit as he released the ball, which fluttered into the awaing arms of Roberson, who took it back 27 yards for a touchdown. The Titans answered with a field goal drive to regain the lead, as a drive that featured a 50-yard screen pass to Khari Blasingame to set up first-and-goal, ended with Sam Ficken's 21-yard field goal and a short-lived 10-7 edge. “Two turnovers early kind of put us in a hole. I credit those guys (QBs) for bouncing back and making some tight area throws and not being gun shy,” said offensive coordinator Todd Downing. “I thought they did some nice things in the second half. We’ve obviously got to protect the ball better than we did tonight and give ourselves a chance to win.” Defensively, the Titans gave up a touchdown in a two-minute situation against Bears rookie Justin Fields to close the first half. Fields scrambled right and rifled a perfect pass to tight end Jesper Horsted for 20 yards and the lead. Two big penalties totaling 35 yards aided the Bears on that drive before Fields made them pay. “I was disappointed with the twominute drive at the end. I didn't think we executed very well. You get penalties in two-minute and we had two big penalties and chunk plays,” defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. “So we've got to improve that. It's good to get in that situation, but we've got to do better. I've been encouraged to this point

with the momentum we're starting to build and the confidence and everything that goes with it.” The Bears extended the lead in the third quarter when Horsted, who had three touchdowns catches in the game, scored on a 6-yard pass from veteran Nick Foles to push Chicago's lead to 21-10. But the Titans answered as Barkley directed a 10-play, 69-yard drive to pull Tennessee within 21-17. Newcomer Javian Hawkins scored from a yard out to cap the drive. In the fourth quarter, the Titans took the lead back momentarily as Woodside found Batson on a 6-yard fade in the left corner of the end zone for a TD. Batson, in an uphill fight to hold on to his roster spot, made the most of his opportunities Saturday with four catches for 45 yards and the score. “I have a big heart. You can measure height and weight, but you can't measure heart,” said Batson. With the Titans clinging to a 24-21 lead, Horsted struck yet again, catching a one-handed pass from Foles and racing 54 yards for his third touchdown of the game. Stretch time With Vrabel not in attendance at the game due to Covid, his assistant John “Stretch” Streicher basically handled the head coaching duties, deciding when to use timeouts, when to go or punt and even winning a challenge in the first half. “He enjoyed it a lot. He does a lot of that stuff, him and Mike (Vrabel) communicate a lot during the game anyway, just in terms of game management and situations and all that type of stuff. So, he's been involved in that throughout his time here, so it was good to see him down there and kind of doing it,” Bowen said. Lewan returns

While most of the Titans starters watched the game from the sideline, left tackle Taylor Lewan made his return to the playing field. Lewan suffered an ACL injury after five games last season, and he looked plenty excited to be back on the field for a couple of series before watching the rest of the game from the sideline. “It was awesome. I was just so excited to go play, and I have worked so hard since October to make that happen. I felt like the exact same guy,” said Lewan who served as one of the Titans captains for the coin flip. “I felt – it was just awesome to be out there, especially being out there with Rodger (Saffold III) and those guys. I am just happy. It was literally just one of the best feelings ever just to know that – you keep telling yourself through the process you are going to be OK, it is going to be all right, then when you are actually able to play you know it is going to be all right.” Offensive coordinator Todd Downing could sense that Lewan was excited to be back. “Obviously Taylor (Lewan)'s a big piece for us and it was nice to see him back out there playing with some joy, playing with some energy, and hopefully we can pick up where we left off after a couple of his early plays tonight,” Downing said. Decisions, decisions The Titans will make roster cuts by Tuesday's deadline and some of the choices will be tough ones at a number of positions. While general manager Jon Robinson and Vrabel will have the final say on the roster, both coordinators indicated that they are grateful that their input will be taken into account when those moves are made. “I feel fortunate to work for people that will take my opinion into account, but that's all I can do is give my opinion,” Downing said. “They will do what's best for this team and I think history has shown that they

have made some pretty good decisions. It's nice to be in a spot where there's competitive roster battles and there's some tough decisions to make and I think that that's a testament to how hard all these guys have worked.” Bowen echoed that sentiment, saying, “They do a good job of including us, and asking our opinion on guys. Obviously, it comes down to Jon and Mike and their vision as for how this thing goes. But we opinions as the DC, as a position coach, we kind of have a feel for these guys and how they're going to fit the unit. I think that's a big part of it, not necessarily the best player, but how they're going to fit the unit, if it's a piece that we need that might have some more versatility but might not have as much talent. All that stuff comes into play.” ###

THINGS THAT STOOD OUT IN TITANS' PRESEASON LOSS TO CHICAGO BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST AUGUST 30, 2021 With three preseason games and one training camp in the books, and the Tennessee Titans have some difficult decisions pending as the NFL deadline to set 53-man rosters nears. The problem the Titans face this year is having too many good players. For example, the club has plenty of solid options at receiver, cornerback and linebacker. Saturday’s 27-24 preseason loss to the Chicago Bears was not only Tennessee’s final tune-up before the regular season, but it was the last chance for players such as Mekhi Sargent, Cam Batson and Breon Borders, among others, to impress Titans coaches. Below are four things that stood out from Saturday’s preseason finale: Logan Woodside should be the backup QB Neither Matt Barkley nor Logan Woodside did much to separate themselves in the backup quarterback battle on Saturday. Both threw interceptions against the Bears, but Barkley’s was the more egregious of the two. “Credit those guys for bouncing back and making so many tight-area throws, not being gun shy,” offensive coordinator Todd Downing said. “I thought they both did some nice things in the second half. We obviously have got to protect the ball better than we did tonight and that will give us a chance to win.” If General Manager Jon Robinson is making this decision truly based on what he’s seen on the practice field and in the preseason, and only that, then one would think things favor

Woodside. For the three games, both QBs totaled three touchdowns and an interception, while being 50 passing yards of one another. But Woodside completed 72.5 percent of his passes to Barkley's 61.5 percent. Woodside also seemed to have better command of the offense and make smarter decisions under duress: He was 4 of 6 for 42 yards and Barkley was 1 of 5 for 12 yards under pressure on Saturday. Woodside is just 26 and appears to have a higher ceiling as a No. 2 than Barkley, who’s 30. Barkley has had ample opportunity to stick somewhere but hasn’t. Woodside, on the other hand, has outlasted three other signal callers and could be well on his way to holding off a fourth. “Both of them turned it over and those are things that we can’t do,” Vrabel said. “Those guys are competing. I thought they both settled down well and allowed us to give ourselves an opportunity to win the game…I think they both kind of settled down and got into a flow of the game as we were asking them to do.” A few talented WRs will be cut It’s believed the Titans will keep only six receivers. We know who the first two are. Josh Reynolds is thought to be the No. 3 man followed by Chester Rogers and Marcus Johnson, leaving one spot for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cameron Batson, Dez Fitzpatrick, Racey McMath, Mason Kinsey, and Fred Brown. “It’s a talented group; I embrace the competition,” Batson said. “I feel like…I have been prepared for this since high school. A lot of my friends, we competed every day in college… You know it’s going to be a competition each and every year, there is going to be a guy coming in and trying to take your spot. You just have to go out there and solidify yourself.” Kinsey was the preseason darling, recording 14 receptions for 131

yards and a touchdown in three games. Batson was the next most impressive, totaling six receptions, 66 yards and a touchdown. It would make sense if Tennessee’s decision came down to them, and frankly, the job should be Batson’s. He was solid in moments last season and he seized his opportunities this year. “I certainly have never written Cam off,” Downing said. “I think he's made of the right stuff. He's got that competitive spirit and that grit, that toughness. We have a talented receiver group and there's some depth there, and obviously powers above me have some tough decisions to make, but Cam's going to give you everything he has every time he lines up and we appreciate that.” The Titans paid a decent price to trade up and grab Fitzpatrick, and it’s hard to see them just giving up on him this early. McMath also hasn’t been much of factor in the preseason, but with his combination of speed and special teams ability could make him worth taking a flier on. Regardless of who gets cut, it’s likely they won’t be on the open market for long. The Titans need to find room for Mekhi Sargent The Titans’ running back situation behind Derrick Henry is a mess. Darrynton Evans seems to always be injured. Brian Hill, who ran for 120 yards on 34 carries, was placed on injured reserve on Sunday. Jeremy McNichols is currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Things seem to be boiling down to Mekhi Sargent and Javian Hawkins. In three games, Sargent totaled 187 yards and a touchdown on 49 carries, and also added three receptions. He’s a violent runner, can break free from tackles and can pick up the tough yards when needed. The final spot should be his. “He runs extremely hard,” fullback Khari Blasingame said of Sargent. “…Mekhi has done great with special teams and running the ball.

He has been a great asset and showing himself really well.” There are plenty of options at OLB Heading into Saturday’s game, John Simon looked to stand a decent chance at making the final roster. However, his release on Sunday showed the Titans coaches are stronger believers in Ola Adeniyi and Derick Roberson behind Bud Dupree, Harold Landry and Rashad Weaver. Roberson has shown glimpses of potential over the last two years but hasn’t been healthy enough to stay on the field. However, he’s maturing and developing at a rate that Defensive Coordinator Shane Bowen seems pleased with. “I think he's had a good camp; I do,” Bowen said. “He's grown up. I think he's become more of a pro this year than he has been in the past. Part of that is maturity…it carries over in his day-to-day, how he practices, and then obviously that carries over to gameday.” Adeniyi, who hasn’t traditionally been viewed as a pass rush option, has 1.5 sacks in the preseason and could be a viable fourth option in a pass rush rotation. With Weaver, Adeniyi and Roberson, Tennessee has the makings of a solid, young nucleus of OLBs 25 or younger. ###

WHAT WE SAW, HEARD FROM TENNESSEE TITANS' BACKUP QUARTERBACKS IN PRESEASON FINALE BY BEN ARTHUR THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 29, 2021 Matt Barkley knew it wasn’t going to be good as soon as he released the ball. With the Tennessee Titans in the red zone, at the Bears’ 16-yard-line and a chance to take an early lead in the first quarter, Barkley turned his head after faking the hand off, gearing up to pass. He thought the linebackers bit on the run fake. He didn’t see any defenders over the middle of the field initially, after all. By the time he threw the ball to second-year receiver Nick Westbrook, though, there were three defenders in the area. Intercepted. “That was one of those plays you wish you have back,” Barkley said. After making ground in the backup quarterback race last week, Barkley noticeably struggled in Saturday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, the last preseason game before next week’s roster cuts. He completed less than 50% of his passes (7-of-15) for 126 yards and an interception with a lowly 48.2 passer rating. He had two other passes in the fourth quarter that could have also been picked off. It wasn’t a pretty backup quarterback battle on Saturday. Logan Woodside wasn’t spared from the sloppy play, though it was clear that he had the stronger performance (12 of 17 for 100 yards and a touchdown with an interception and an 80.5 passer rating) and appears to be the frontrunner to backup Ryan Tannehill, like he did last year. Woodside threw a pick-6 in the second quarter that tied the game at 7.

Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing thought both quarterbacks picked up their play as the game wore on and appreciated how they were “not being gun shy.” "I think any time you put the ball in harm's way it certainly is a demerit,” Downing said of the interceptions. “I'll have to look at the tape and get a full evaluation of how both of them played and how often we did put the ball in harm's way. But we're going to hold those quarterbacks to a high standard, and we expect that ball to be protected at all times, particularly down there in the red zone when we have points on the board. So red zone non-scores are unacceptable around here, let alone turnovers." Barkley acknowledged that frequent rotations with Woodside made it tough to find a rhythm. Though Barkley started Saturday’s game, he and Woodside were swapped every two drives. The Titans did the same thing last week against the Buccaneers. “Half and half (as the rotations) is a little easier at least to put a few drives together at least, but that sounds like an excuse, so there's nothing that you can do other than go out and be ready to play,” Barkley said. "I think I've done a lot of good things and some things to improve on, but as I've progressed on this offense and still learning every day, I think I have a lot of good things ahead. I think I've shown this staff at least what I'm capable of. It's just a matter of being consistent." Woodside faced plenty of pressure in the preseason playing behind a Titans’ offensive line filled with reserves, including on his pick-6 Saturday. But he feels like he’s gotten better over the last couple years of recognizing it and getting offense into the right protections. “I've really tried to take these past couple years and really get under Ryan's wing and see how he prepares and see how he acts out there on the field and just try to emulate that into my game, “

Woodside said. “Compared to two preseasons ago, I feel like I'm light years ahead of where I was. I feel like I'm still getting better and I still have a lot to prove and still able to get a lot better as well." There’s a chance the Titans could keep Woodside and Barkley on the initial 53-man roster. If Tannehill is still on the Reserve/COVID-19 list during roster cuts, he will be carried onto the list for the regular season and won’t count against the active roster until he’s out of protocols. "It's out of my control,” Barkley said of the backup QB battle potentially being extended, at least temporarily. "I don't know anymore than you guys do. We're just kind of waiting." "It's up in the air for a lot of guys,” Barkley added on the mindset during roster cuts. “You just got to stay confident in who you are no matter what happens and I guess believe in yourself at the end of the day." ###

BEARS 27, TITANS 24: STRETCH'S CHALLENGE, BAD PICKS, ROOKIE RBS AND MORE

Adams didn’t get a second foot or a body part down before his hip landed out of bounds and the call was reversed, forcing a punt.

BY PAUL KUHARSKY PAULKUHARSKY.COM AUGUST 28, 2021

Before that, Mekhi Sargent scored on a fourth-and-1 run. Streicher green-lit Todd Downing to call a play rather than settling for a field goal there.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mike Vrabel’s right-hand man oversaw most of the head coach’s job in the Titans’ preseason finale and did just fine, winning when he threw the challenge flag but shepherding a losing effort, 27-24. John Streicher, known as "Stretch" to everyone on and around the team, was a fun side story to the preseason’s conclusion and the franchise’s one home game that featured no monster developments. Marcus Johnson limped to the locker room with a right leg issue, the two quarterbacks battling to back up Ryan Tannehill each threw a pick, an undrafted running back found the end zone as did one signed on Thursday. The Titans now have two weeks to ready for the first game that matters, against Arizona back at Nissan Stadium on Sept. 12. The challenge: So Craig Aukerman handled team communication with players – Matt Barkley said that included “a little rah-rah” before the game and at halftime – while Streicher handled game decisions, communication with coaches and playtime management. That included an excellent challenge of what was initially ruled a third-and-8 Justin Fields-toRodney Adams 11-yard completion in the second quarter. So excited was Taylor Lewan that Streicher threw his red flag in time to stop the Bears from getting off another play when they were hurrying to do so, he ran up to the Titans’ coordinator of football development and gave him a celebratory shove in the chest.

The Titans went for it on two fourthquarter fourth downs as well: Cam Batson caught a 6-yard touchdown from Logan Woodside on fourthand-1 from the 6. With 1:35 left in the game and the Titans down 3, they had to go for it on fourth-and-4 from their own 46 and Woodside threw incomplete to the left for Fred Brown. Two fourth-down touchdowns are pretty good from a guy managing the game who works hand-in-hand with Vrabel on the team’s analytics. Battle of the picks: Barkley killed the Titans’ second possession with an interception deep in Chicago territory. He was looking for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the end zone and Danny Trevathan, well underneath the pass, picked it off. If Trevathan didn’t get it, two defensive backs were also between NWI and the ball. It was a really bad decision by Barkley. Woodside’s giveaway came close to his own goalline when Christian DiLaurio got beaten easily around the left edge by Trevis Gipson. Gipson hit Woodside, forcing a short, wobbly pass that was easily picked off by Tre Roberson for a 27yard touchdown return that evened the score at 7-7. Woodside has been under a lot of heat through the preseason and hasn’t handled it well. He was better with it in Game 3. Before that pick he stood in with a defender bearing down on him and hit a diving Cam Batson on a third-and-4 for a 10yard gain. "I think that I've done a better job of seeing the pressure coming, trying

to get in the right protections," Woodside said. "I think that you only get that from game-like experience. You see it in practice a lot but until you get out there and you're getting hit and seeing it on the sideline... I've tried to do a better job of that for sure." Woodside has to sense that rush on the turnover better, but it was fastdeveloping and a really poor play by DiLaurio. Barkley’s pick was worse, as it was a decision-making blunder. He was fortunate not to be picked by Duke Shelly late in the fourth quarter as well, when he threw a bad ball for Mason Kinsey just before taking a shot. "I think any time you put the ball in harm's way it certainly is a demerit," Todd Downing said. "I'll have to look at the tape and get a full evaluation of how both of them played and how often we did put the ball in harm's way. But we're going to hold those quarterbacks to a high standard, and we expect that ball to be protected at all times, particularly down there in the red zone when we have points on the board. So red zone non-scores are unacceptable around here, let alone turnovers." We’ve long presumed only extra QB would make the roster and one would be let go Tuesday. Woodside would have to clear waivers and I think Atlanta and Arthur Smith could claim him. Barkley is a vested veteran who would become a free agent immediately. With Ryan Tannehill on Covid-19Reserve, he does not count against the roster count. If he doesn’t test negative twice in a 48-hour span by Tuesday, the Titans can keep both quarterbacks until Tannehill clears or has been out 10 days and reaches a point where he’s not contagious. At that point, with other teams having made their moves, the Titans would have a better chance of being able to strike a deal to keep the veteran Barkley on the practice squad or of Woodside clearing waivers.

Running backs: Sargent scored the game’s first touchdown and shows power and some explosion, which has made him a big fan favorite. He turned 17 carries into 51 yards and the score, which made for only a 3.0-yard average. He’ll work until he drops if the Titans let him and may well make the team as an undrafted rookie out of Iowa. "That is me: A humble beast," he said. "I have been that way since I touched a football, went up early and everything as a kid to play with the older guys. I play hard, that is me." There is no way not to like the attitude. But the hype is a bit out of whack with the production. He’s worked against zero first-team defenses and a good share of his 49 preseason carries for 187 yards were late in the first two games. The guy he probably needs to unseat is Jeremy McNichols, who’s currently on the Covid-Reserve list. McNichols proved reliable in passprotection last season and we’ve not seen Sargent in a position to save Ryan Tannehill from a top blitzer. I don’t doubt Sargent's effort would be top-flight, but he will have had to earn the trust of Vrabel and Jon Robinson from his practice work and college tape. It is not exceedingly hard for running backs to look good in preseason games. Javian Hawkins joined the Titans on Thursday and took 10 carries for 49 yards and a score. Receiver production: Batson's scoring catch was his second backshoulder TD reception of the preseason. He also had one in Atlanta. He caught all four of his targets and finished the preseason as the Titans'

second-leading receiver with six receptions for 66 yards. Mason Kinsey tops the list by far, and he caught four of six targets to finish with 14 receptions for 131 yards and a score. They've both made good cases but neither is a lock, though Johnson's injury, if serious, could help them. Dez Fitzpatrick helped himself with a smooth 28-yard catch and hurt himself with a dropped TD in the end zone that simply must be caught. More than expected: Ola Adeniyi has offered far more on defense than the Titans typically get from guys they sign as special teamers. They’ve been very reluctant to go very deep at outside linebacker and no, he hasn’;t been going against front-line pass protectors. But with Harold Landry and Bud Dupre starting I wonder if he can’t inject himself into the depth mix with John Simon, more of a base guy who can play the run, and Rashad Weaver, who is long but raw as a rookie fourth-rounder. Adeniyi split an early sack of Justin Fields with Derick Roberson to give him 1.5 in the preseason. "He gets off the ball, that's evident," Shane Bowen said. "That's what you see, his ability to get off the ball, that's what you saw on the first sack there. I'm excited about his role and what he can bring to us in terms of helping us rush the passer." ###

AMY ADAMS STRUNK AMY ADAMS STRUNK BROUGHT HER FATHER'S TEAM BACK TO LIFE BY BRUCE SCHOENFELD ESPN W NOVEMBER 5, 2018 SHE'S STUCK IN traffic, a side effect of the explosive growth that makes Nashville, Tennessee, an enticing place to own an NFL team. By the time Amy Adams Strunk arrives at Nissan Stadium, it's only an hour before kickoff, so she heads straight to the field. Right away, it starts. "Miss Amy!" A ruddy-complexioned man in his 30s, wearing a deep blue Tennessee Titans jersey and a lanyard around his neck, is waving like a traffic cop. One of several dozen season-ticket holders randomly chosen to spend the pregame on the Titans' sideline, he has spotted his team's owner and can't help shouting. It's like he already knew her, he'll say. That's later, after the selfie with her arm around him and the embrace she gives his wife, two devoted Titans fans she'd never met. From there, she's on to another couple, and a 6year-old boy she bends down to talk with eye to eye. "We love you," the wife says. There's a man in the front row of the stands holding a sign claiming he has come all the way from France. She strides over to find out more. "Bonjour," she says. He looks at her with a quizzical expression, like, "Why is this woman talking to me?" "That's the owner," someone tells him. His eyes get wide. "Of the team?" She's at the Titans' bench, visiting with Mike Vrabel, her head coach, when someone on the field shouts her name. It's kicker Ryan Succop, standing at the 50. When Succop pulls her close for a bear hug, she disappears for a moment.

From there, Adams Strunk walks toward the sideline to greet the Glazer brothers, Joel and Bryan. They own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee's opponent on this August evening. And it seems that, like most NFL owners, they don't know quite what to make of her. Really, who can blame them? Owners typically make a fortune, then buy a team. Or else they put in years working in football as the family business, which it has been across generations for Rooneys and Bidwills, Maras and McCaskeys, Browns and DeBartolos, and lately Irsays and Krafts and, indeed, Glazers. Adams Strunk, instead, spent her early professional years as the owner of a few car dealerships and some oil interests that her father, former owner Bud Adams, had given her. She has a passion for horses and she's quite a tennis player. She has raised two girls and a boy, who seem like admirable people. But she hadn't worked a day in the sport when she gained control of the Titans in 2015. "They look at me," says Adams Strunk, now 63, "and they're probably thinking, 'What does she know? She doesn't know anything. She doesn't have a business degree. She hasn't been in football. How is she going to make a go of this? We want our partners to have a certain background, and she definitely doesn't have it.'" She pauses. "I mean, I get that." Unlike the Glazers, who apprenticed under their father, Malcolm, and inherited the Bucs when he died, Adams Strunk wrested control of this $2 billion franchise from her sister and brother-in-law because she was determined that it be run well. She did it because she felt obliged to protect the memory of Bud Adams -- even though he hadn't wanted her anywhere near his football team. Since then, the Titans have improved dramatically. From 2-14, they came within a game of the AFC Championship Game last

season. Their ties to Nashville today run deeper than they ever have. In just three years, Amy Adams Strunk rescued her father's legacy. And she did it by taking almost everything she watched him do as an owner and turning it upside down. BUD ADAMS ISN'T in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he ought to be. When Lamar Hunt couldn't entice anyone to sell him an NFL team and instead started a competing league, Adams was his first call. "I'm in," said Adams, who was in the process of getting rich in oil. That was the AFL, which opened for business in 1960. Before his Houston Oilers played a game, Adams wooed Billy Cannon, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and best-known football player in America. After dinner at the family home, Adams sent his wife and three children to bed and got down to bidness. Pouring a drink, he asked Cannon what could convince him to spurn the NFL. "That sure is a nice car out there in the driveway," the halfback drawled. He meant the white Cadillac convertible Bud had given wife Nancy for her birthday just a few days before. Sure enough, when Nancy came down in the morning to drive the kids to school, the car had vanished. "Billy wanted it," Adams shrugged, displaying in three words both his determination to succeed and his valuation of a woman's worth in the world. Cannon was named MVP in each of the first two AFL title games. The Oilers, not incidentally, won both. Those were the only championships they ever won. But the franchise grew exponentially, from a shoestring startup to a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. "Amy's daddy was a role model and a wannabe of mine, not just a great owner but a great businessman," says Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys, who used to linger in the hallways outside AFL meetings, hoping to get a word with Adams.

AMY ADAMS STRUNK Adams ran his franchise like a quarterback runs a huddle. He demanded to make every decision, not just whom to draft but whether to repair the fax machine. That level of control applied even to his son and heir apparent, Kenneth III. As for his two daughters, he wouldn't let them work for the team. "He thought that women were unable to reach a serious understanding of the game," says Steve Underwood, who worked under Adams as a lawyer and team executive for more than three decades. There was a reason, Adams believed, that every general manager in the NFL was a man. "Women could never be capable of understanding things like sizing up men to be head coaches," is how Underwood characterizes Adams' thinking. "'How could a woman possibly be capable of that?'" That was fine with Amy. "I never saw myself in football," she says, sitting in her office under an oil painting of former Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini. "It wasn't the life I wanted. My dad could be very charming, and there were times he was a great father. But he was very hard. He wouldn't have brought me along, 'Someday I want you to run the team.' Nooooo. It would have been about control." As the years passed, Adams found ways to thwart his son's progress. Ken yearned for his approval, but Adams mistrusted most those he knew best. Amy and her sister, Susie, would get on the phone and commiserate. "We'd say, 'Poor Ken.' We were just glad it wasn't us." Still, Amy wasn't prepared for the call one June morning in 1987. Ken's wife had come through their garage door with the couple's 3year-old and 7-month-old children and the dog. She found her husband, then 29, in a puddle of blood, a gun beside him. "He was crushed by the pressure," Amy says. Ken's suicide hit her hard. She plunged into depression, talking about her brother every day for years, obsessing over whether she

should have seen the signs. In 1990, she and her husband divorced. Bud reacted differently. "He shut down," Amy says. "And after Ken died, his obsession with control ramped up." Amy stepped away. Years passed. She met and married a cattle breeder named Tim Strunk, and gave her daughter and son a half-sister. Life seemed idyllic with Tim and the little ones until the morning in 1997 when he left to take a load of cattle to auction. He was struck by an 18wheeler three miles from home and died at the scene. This time, family sustained her. Her sister closed ranks. Her parents did what they could. And she found solace in football, losing herself in the passion of her team. "I was Superfan," she says. But that was changing, too. BY 1997, BUD ADAMS had abandoned Houston's decrepit Astrodome and moved the Oilers to Nashville. In his mind, though, the Titans remained the Oilers, with different uniforms and a new stadium just a quick flight away. He made no effort to meet fans or connect with the city. "He didn't want to spend his time doing that," Underwood says. "In his mind, he had people to do that." That was fine while the Titans were winning. But as their fortunes faded following the Super Bowl season of 1999, what had never been a torrid love affair became a marriage of convenience. As Adams grew older, and then old, he became detached. By the time he died in 2013, the Titans were in disarray. "The team was a mess," Amy says. "My dad's later years, things kind of fell off the wagon." The Titans hadn't won a playoff game in a decade. The facilities, once state-of-the-art, were showing wear. "Nobody knew what was going on," recalls Phil Bredesen, who helped bring the team to Nashville as the city's mayor and later served as Tennessee's

governor. "There was just a sense of lots of stuff not getting done. The details of that don't leak out, but the effects of it do." Worse, perhaps, the franchise had lost relevance. Folksy Nashville, with its spicy fried chicken and throwback Grand Ole Opry, had grown into one of America's most enticing destinations. The Predators were the hot ticket, along with the country acts that played Broadway each night. Conventioneers congregated. Tourism numbers soared. The Titans seemed shabby, dated, a vestige of the previous generation. "You'd see more Vols shirts than Titans shirts at Titans games," insists Nathan Followill, drummer for the Nashville-based band Kings of Leon and a seasonticket holder, referencing the state university's Tennessee Volunteers. "When you have so many years of going downhill, it becomes less and less important to people," Underwood explains. "Amy saw that. She wanted to change direction." But Amy wasn't in charge. Tommy Smith, Susie's husband, had worked for the team for years. Long before he died in October 2013, Adams had created a trust that allocated a third of his assets to Susie, a third to Amy, a third to his late son's family. Tommy would run the team with the others as silent partners. "We were all on board with it," says Kenneth Adams IV, Ken's son, who also had started working for the Titans. Following in his father-in-law's footsteps, Tommy was Bud Lite. Ownership meant absolute control. As the losses accumulated during that 2014 season, Amy made suggestions. When they were rebuffed without consideration, she started to wonder if there might be a better way. "We weren't working it out as a family," she says. "It was just another dictatorship." The team finished 2-14, the worst record in Titans history. "This was our chance to start fixing everything that had gone wrong during my father's last years," Amy says.

AMY ADAMS STRUNK "Tommy wasn't doing that." The NFL is a league of constant adaptation, she believes. The Titans hadn't adapted. "The offenses, the defenses, the business part of it," she says. "If it ain't broke, sure, don't fix it. But if it is broke, you better get in there and figure out what to do." That winter, Amy spent New Year's Eve at the family ranch in central Texas. Late at night, over a glass of wine that wasn't her first, she asked Barclay Adams, Kenneth IV's brother, if their family was satisfied with the way the team was being run. Barclay hesitated, and Amy wondered what she'd gotten herself into. Then Barclay said, "No, we aren't." "Then we need to talk," Amy told him. It turned out Kenneth had been having similar conversations with Tommy, with similar results. "We didn't see an end in sight," Kenneth says now. "'You going to move off from that coach?' 'No, I'm good with him.' 'You going to move off from that GM?' 'No, we're good.'" "I don't want this to be a mark on our names," Amy told him. Kenneth agreed. Together, they expressed their concern to Tommy and Susie. They asked if someone from one of the other two families could have a seat at the table. "We were talking for a month or six weeks," Amy says. "I was still hopeful that Susie, as controlling owner, would come around. If it's truly a family operation, why did the other twothirds have no say? All the power had coalesced right there in Tommy and Susie. And that was proving not to be a good thing." Together, Amy and Kenneth knew, their shares constituted a majority. "But I don't think it ever dawned on them," Amy says of Tommy and Susie. "It never occurred to them that we were unhappy enough to do anything. Or that I had a willingness to try to make it happen if they wouldn't." By March, Amy and Kenneth had had enough. They decided to oust

Tommy as president. "I felt bad," Amy says. "But we'd given him 18 months. He'd had his opportunity." In a statement on the Titans' website, Tommy announced that he was leaving as president and CEO because juggling his family and professional duties had proved too difficult. Then he and Susie disappeared from sight. Underwood was summoned out of retirement to run the team as president and CEO. And Amy went to work. "YOU HAVE TO bring them along slowly," Adams Strunk explains. She's crouched in the dirt, dragging a metal bar just far enough from a jump so a horse can gauge where he needs to land. Moments later, here comes Rowan, who weighs as much as three linemen combined. He approaches the barricade and canters over. "That's g-o-o-o-d," she enthuses. She'd returned home to Houston after college (a year at Pine Manor near Boston, the rest at the University of Texas in Austin) and worked as a travel agent. Soon enough, she abandoned city living for a 4,000-acre family ranch off a two-lane road on the edge of Harris County. She started training riders and grooming horses. Bud and Nancy told everyone she'd be back in a month. She's still there, except when she isn't. Lately that means extended time in Nashville, where she now owns a home with her husband, a retired airline pilot. Horses and football have been the threads running through her life. She has ridden since childhood, competing until she fell off once too often. "At my age," Adams Strunk says, "you don't want to be doing that." She made businesses out of breeding and raising horses, stabling, even staging fox hunts in the wild. It wasn't running a major corporation or a hedge fund, but there were lessons to be learned there in the dirt. "When you do horses, at whatever level, you have an ownership view," says Debbie Phillips, the widow of the former Oilers coach Bum Phillips, who met

Adams Strunk while training cutting horses in the 1980s. "Bum was always surprised at how well I could assess the talent on the field. Amy does exactly the same thing. She has that ownership eye." "I can't go back on my business experience like some owners -- you know, 'I've done it this way in the past,'" Adams Strunk says, sitting with a glass of water at a woodblock island the size of a flatbed truck in her kitchen. "But I can go back on my personal experience. Maybe it's a wild, crazy horse, and you just learn that if you work it enough, he'll come around. Whatever. What happened was, over all those years, I became confident that if something needed to be done, I could do it. I'm not afraid to make hard decisions." It didn't take long before she needed to. When the Titans started poorly in 2015, she fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt and replaced him with assistant Mike Mularkey. "The offense was a great offense for Philip Rivers, but we just didn't have the players to make it work," she says. It wasn't the losing as much as as the need to keep franchise QB Marcus Mariota ambulatory. "I approach things practically," she says. "And the practical part of this was, in that offense, Marcus was likely to get hurt." She knew the firing might define her as an owner into the future. "If it doesn't work out,'" she said to herself, "this will be on you forever." Underwood cautioned against it. "You make a change like that in the middle of the season," he'd said, "most of the time it doesn't work out well." But she had spent her life watching football, and she understood what she was watching. "I just knew somehow," she says, "that it was the right thing to do." After that 2015 season, Adams Strunk fired GM Ruston Webster. Around the league, it was assumed that she'd use a recruiting firm or consultant to find a replacement, a practice that has become common. Instead, Underwood and Kenneth Adams helped her compile a list of

AMY ADAMS STRUNK possibilities. Then she researched them online. Jon Robinson had run college scouting for the New England Patriots. He seemed unconventional, especially when he sat down to a vegan lunch during his interview. He wasn't yet 40. And he was the most candid of the candidates, insisting that minor tweaks would not reverse the decline. "The system's broken," he said. "That's the reason you're not winning. It's broke and you need to fix it." It was what Adams Strunk longed to hear. "Everything he was saying, Kenneth and I already knew," she says. "Now here was someone who wasn't afraid to say it. By the time he left the interview, I just knew that he was our guy." Less than a year into her first job in football, she'd fired and hired both a coach and a GM. She wasn't sure why, but the path forward seemed clear. "I'm a big believer in osmosis," Jerry Jones explains. "If you're around an activity for as long as Amy has been, you're soaking it up. You develop instincts. That's what I see in Amy. I can tell from her logic, the way she approaches problems. She knows what she's doing." IN TWO YEARS, Robinson ran off two-thirds of the team. The Titans improved to 9-7 in 2016, then repeated that last season. They won their playoff game at Kansas City in miraculous fashion 22-21. That showed how far they'd come. Getting steamrollered by the Patriots the next week showed how far they had to go. It made another hard decision that much easier. "I just thought we'd reached the ceiling," says Adams Strunk, who fired Mularkey a week after the Titans' season ended. "In Nashville, people understood. Outside, it was probably like, 'She's nuts.'" Change is the theme whenever a new a coach is hired, but players often remain dubious. "If they walk into the same building," Robinson

says, "if they sit down at the same locker and everything looks the same, they look around at each other and they're like, 'What's changed?'"

show that she cares about me as a person. Every time she sees me, she'll ask, 'How's Taylin? How's Wynne?' our daughter."

The Titans arrived at their training facility this summer and found new blue uniforms in their lockers. After years of wear, the turf beneath the practice bubble had been replaced. So had the bubble itself. The locker room had been reconfigured so the entire team can see each other. "When you walk in the building now, it resonates," Robinson says. "These ain't the same old Titans. It was very cool of her to write that check."

He pauses and looks around the locker room. "The new facilities are great and all," he says. "But I'm a physical guy. I love to show affection. So she's the perfect owner for me."

They ain't the same old Titans because Adams Strunk isn't the same owner. "I worked with her dad for many, many years in the league," says Amy Trask, the former Oakland Raiders CEO. "Amy's style is clearly different." Bud Adams had no problem signing players to huge contracts, but considered upgrading facilities a needless expense. If a building was two decades old, well, he figured it ought to last another eight. "That's not me," Adams Strunk says. "We needed to come out of the dark ages and adapt to how things work now." The players noticed. "Actions speak louder than words," says Taylor Lewan, the left tackle. "She put vents in here so our pads cool down and don't get all gross and moldy. It shows that she really cares." Lewan was sure that once he reached the pros, he'd be little more than a number. "I'd already felt that in college," he says. "For her to come in and be excited to see me, to give me a hug when I'm all sweaty in my pads, it does something," he says. But who'd guess that such warmth might pay off in tangible terms? A week into training camp, Lewan signed an $80 million contract, the largest ever for an offensive lineman. He could have cashed in most anywhere, but he decided to stay because he felt wanted. "It was the way Amy talks with my wife when she sees her," he says one afternoon after a weight-room session. "The way she takes time to

And also, it appears, for Nashville, which appreciates connecting with an owner more than a larger market might. With the help of Adams Strunk's outreach, the Titans are hot again. A crowd of more than 30,000 attended the downtown party unveiling the new uniforms, a remarkable turnout that led the NFL to award the city its 2019 draft. For the first time, fans say, their hometown team is truly theirs. None of it will mean much, Adams Strunk knows, if the team can't contend. "I'm warm, I like to show people how I feel, that's who I am," she says. "But I also have no problem doing whatever it takes to win. That is definitely my priority." For guidance, she consults with her inner circle: Kenneth Adams, Underwood and, increasingly, Robinson. Then she'll go outside it and hear as many relevant perspectives as she can get. The options will be weighed by a committee of one. In that sense, at least, she is her father's daughter. "The final decision," she says, "is mine." ###

AMY ADAMS STRUNK TITANS OWNER AMY ADAMS STRUNK NAMED TENNESSEAN OF THE YEAR BY TENNESSEE SPORTS HALL OF FAME BY ERIK BACHARACH THE TENNESSEAN FEBRUARY 22, 2019 The 2019 NFL draft is coming to Nashville in about two months, a landmark event for the city that will make it the center of the football world for a week in April. And at the center of making of it happen was Amy Adams Strunk. Strunk on Friday was selected as the 2019 Tennessean of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, not just for her efforts in bringing the draft to Nashville but for reinvigorating the Titans franchise and her contributions to the sports community since becoming the controlling owner in 2015. Titans general manager Jon Robinson called Strunk "the most pivotal piece in the franchise and turning it around." The Titans are fresh off a third-straight winning season for the first time in franchise history.

DENICO AUTRY TITANS AGREE TO DEAL WITH DENICO AUTRY BY TERRY MCCORMICK TITANINSIDER.COM MARCH 15, 2021 The Titans first move in free agency allowed them to take a player away from their top division rival. Tennessee agreed to a deal with former Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Denico Autry, a league source confirmed. Autry, 30, is receiving a reported $21.5 million deal over three years, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Autry's arrival could signal that the Titans may be ready to move on from DaQuan Jones and/or Jack Crawford, who started alongside 2019 first-round pick Jeffery Simmons last season. Autry spent the past three seasons with the Colts and put up sack numbers of nine, 3.5 and 7.5 with Indy, as the Titans seek to bolster a pass rush that generated just 19 sacks last season. Autry initially broke in to the NFL with the Raiders in 2014, spending four seasons in Oakland before going to the Colts. Autry, 6-5, 285, played college football at Mississippi State and will now join his fellow former Bulldog on the Titans' defensive line. The deal cannot be officially announced until the new league year opens on Wednesday. ###

one-gap scheme in Indianapolis, and he showed in 2020 that he has the versatility to play at both defensive end and slide inside to defensive tackle on passing downs.”

BY ADAM SPARKS THE TENNESSEAN MARCH 16, 2021

Autry is arguably the Colts’ best free-agent signing since general manager Chris Ballard took the helm in 2017. Autry was undrafted out of Mississippi State in 2014, but he proved to be a solid contributor in the Raiders’ rotation.

Denico Autry is the Tennessee Titans’ gain and the Colts’ loss, and both sides of that transaction could factor into the AFC South race. Autry, a defensive lineman, will sign a three-year, $21.5 million deal as early as Wednesday, when free agency opens, the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. The Titans needed a disruptive force on defense, and they got one. The soon-to-be signing of pass-rushing linebacker Bud Dupree, also reported by NFL Network, will add another. But let’s focus on Autry, who the Colts clearly valued. With perspective from Colts beat reporters Joel Erickson and Jim Ayello of the Indianapolis Star, here’s a quick look at the player the Titans are getting. What did the Titans know that drew them to Autry? Autry has spent plenty of time in the Titans’ backfield during his sevenyear career with the Raiders and Colts. In eight games against the Titans, he sacked Marcus Mariota four times and sacked Ryan Tannehill twice. He also forced Mariota to fumble, dropped Derrick Henry for a 3-yard loss, routinely pressured quarterbacks and deflected passes. “Autry blossomed into a differencemaker in Indianapolis because the Colts let him do what he does best: Penetrate and wreak havoc in the backfield,” Erickson wrote. “Initially miscast in Oakland as a 34 defensive end, Autry thrived in a

So why did the Colts let him go?

— although that show came after his time there. EMCC coach Buddy Stephens told the San Jose Mercury News that Autry would climb a 14-foot wall and turn off a surveillance camera so he and his teammates could shoot basketball in the school gym after hours. And sometimes Autry would hotwire his coach’s golf cart to drive to a local market off campus to buy snacks.

With the Colts, Autry’s career skyrocketed. He started 38 of 40 games in three seasons and racked up 20 sacks, 26 tackles-for-loss and 32 quarterback hits.

That was more than a decade ago for the 30-year-old Autry. But it hints at the layers of a quiet but likable teammate the Titans will be adding to their locker room.

Ayello reported that the Colts made a strong late push to try and keep Autry away from the Titans, who committed more money in the first two years of the contract. It’s a notable shift of an impact player from one defensive line to another in the AFC South.

###

“While Autry isn’t a household name, his departure will certainly sting,” Ayello wrote. “Not only will the Colts have to see him twice a year, but they have to figure out how they’re going to replace a player who has been a critical cog in their defense the past three years.” What will Autry bring to Titans’ team chemistry? Autry is described as a low-key, high-motor player who draws most of his attention on the field. “Autry’s a quiet guy, but he plays through pain, plays hard and plays a lot of snaps for a big body (6-foot-5, 285 pounds),” Erickson said. “Colts head coach Frank Reich loved Autry’s approach.” soft-spoken nature But his apparently hides a good-natured mischievous side. Before playing at Mississippi State, Autry was a standout at East Mississippi Community College, the national championship program featured on the Netflix series “Last Chance U"

BREON BORDERS AFTER GETTING CUT BY SEVEN NFL TEAMS, BREON BORDERS MAKING IMPACT FOR TITANS | ESTES

want to play pro football what he’s had to go through from team to team, but there’s a reason he keeps turning up,” said David Cutcliffe, Borders’ head coach at Duke University.

BY GENTRY ESTES THE TENNESSEAN NOVEMBER 24, 2020

“… He went through a lot of tough times growing up. God is good is what I think when I hear about Breon doing so well.”

Titans cornerback Breon Borders doesn’t mind sharing his story. What he went through growing up, he's actually grateful for it now. It helps explain how he got to where he is, and how he broke a depressing cycle in his family and hometown. It's a story of tough lessons met by a tougher mentality. A short memory, staying confident and positive, not feeling sorry for himself — these things have been useful for an undrafted NFL fringe player who’s been cut by seven teams in about three years. “I feel like I’m ready for anything that comes in my life,” he said. And Borders is hopeful that his eighth team is the charm. Because in his fourth NFL season, he's finally getting a real shot. He went from joining the Titans' practice squad in Week 3 to the COVID-19 list to, not long after that, his largest role as a pro. With Adoree’ Jackson injured and Johnathan Joseph released, the 25year-old Borders has started at cornerback opposite Malcolm Butler the past three games. “Hopefully, this will be the team for him right here,” said Yvonne Bennett, Borders’ grandmother. The Titans have needed Borders. They've heaved him into the fire, too, quickly promoting him ahead of some more experienced defensive backs. On a team that keeps demonstrating resiliency, Borders has fit in. “I wish Breon could verbalize to young men today that think they

still hold on to today. And, I’m grateful for that." Borders credits Sandra Reid, his great aunt and Bennett’s sister, for keeping him on the right track. Bennett returned when he was 14, and Borders went back to live with her. During that stretch, Borders was separated from his brother — who lived in another home — and most of his family.

'She was my world' Borders is from Statesville, North Carolina, a town of fewer than 30,000 about a 45-minute drive north of Charlotte. Former NFL linebacker Vinson Smith was from Statesville, but Borders grew up idolizing wide receiver Randy Moss. From a young age, Borders would point to pictures and tell his family that’s what he was going to do one day.

“Even though it’s a messed-up situation, I feel like that situation prepared me for life," Borders said. "For seven years, I didn’t see my mom, dad, my grandma, my brother. From 7 to 14, it was a huge lesson that I had to overcome. When I did, I felt like I could get past anything.” Reid had kids of her own, and she was disciplined. She told him he’d better be on the porch when the streetlights came on.

Those aspirations didn’t change over the years, even as much around Borders did.

When Borders’ grades slipped in middle school, Reid benched him for a football season, she said.

“My immediate family went to prison for drugs when I was 7,” he said. “That kind of devastated me. ... It was like a drug chain. My family was just real heavy into drugs. When one person went down, everybody went down.”

“I know that he missed his grandma,” Reid said. “I know that, because we talked about that. And he did. But still, he was OK, because we were all a part of his life.”

From birth until almost 7, Borders was raised by Bennett. Her daughter — Borders' mother — was young. He wasn't around his father much, he said. Three short paragraphs in the Charlotte Observer in 2002 described the event that upended Borders' childhood. A cocaine conspiracy case in Statesville, the Observer reported, resulted in prison sentences for four family members, Bennett included. "She was my world," Borders said of his grandmother. “She was my everything. When she left, I feel like she left kind of suddenly. It didn’t really hit me the first or second day. But the third day, I had to go live with my aunt. It was hard, but she instilled my core values in me that I

Years later, he did so well in the classroom that he ended up being able to attend Duke. Clearly, football skills didn't suffer, either. "The actual work isn’t easy," he said, "but to make the decision to work and do what I need to do, I mean, it was easy. I’m trying to honor the sacrifice that my grandma made for me." Borders’ NFL success is a growing source of pride in Statesville. It has long been a source of pride for Bennett and Reid, on and off the field. “Even without the football,” Bennett said, “just the fact he went to Duke.” Rising to the occasion

BREON BORDERS As a freshman in 2013, Borders played in all 14 games for Cutcliffe’s Blue Devils. In the ACC Championship Game that season against eventual national champ Florida State, Borders intercepted Jameis Winston twice. “He just could rise to the occasion,” Cutcliffe said, “and I believe that’s what he’s continued to do in his professional career. If you give him a shot — a legitimate shot — he’s going to rise to the occasion. And he’s always got a smile on his face. He’s great in a locker room. He’s just good people.” Borders started every game for the next two seasons. As a junior, he played the most snaps on Duke’s team and led the Blue Devils in interceptions for the third year in a row. His senior season was going ever better until he was sidelined late in the year by a staph infection. He ended up losing about 30 pounds, “and I’m already not the biggest guy,” said Borders, who is listed by the Titans as 6-foot, 189 pounds. That ordeal likely impacted his draft stock. The Raiders signed Borders in 2017 after he wasn’t selected. He ended up making their practice squad, beginning an NFL odyssey from Raiders to Bills to Texans to Jaguars to the Washington Football Team to Steelers to Dolphins and now the Titans. “Every time one team lets him go,” Bennett said, “it just really breaks my heart because I know he loves football so much. He’ll say, ‘Well, another team will pick me up. Don’t worry about it.’” “I’m trying to look at it in a positive way,” Borders said. “I’m visiting all these different cities, meeting all these different people, learning from all these different coaches. Of course, I want to be grounded somewhere, but I’m grateful to continually get picked up. I’m doing something right if I’m getting picked up over and over again.”

Though Borders was signed to the Titans' practice squad in Week 3, he said he didn’t actually get into the team’s building until about four weeks later. He had to quarantine for COVID-19 initially because of contact tracing. Then as the team fought an outbreak, he learned he'd caught COVID-19 himself. “I had a slight headache for maybe a day or two, but it wasn’t bad at all,” said Borders. The worst part might have been having to spend weeks quarantining in a hotel in a new city, all the while logging into virtual meetings and trying to learn the Titans’ defense. When the time came to play, though, he was ready. “He’s come in here and he’s learned the defense,” Titans secondary coach Anthony Midget said. “He’s met extra with us to pick up the scheme. Every opportunity he’s gotten, he’s taken advantage of it. That’s why he’s out there playing for us now.” Back home, Titans fans are being created quickly. Among them are Borders’ two young children — 3year-old son Breon Jr. and 1-yearold daughter Ashley — who are still in Statesville. “They’re young," he said, "but I have to figure out how to teach them those same lessons and values that I was taught, but not with the same experiences.” He misses them, and he’s hoping that if his time on the Titans becomes more permanent that they can move to Nashville. If that happens, Borders’ story will become more well-known — and an inspiration to those who run across it. “I’m unbelievably proud,” Cutcliffe said. “He is proof (of) what we all need to think about right now when we want to complain about 2020. … The more I learned about what he had to overcome in his youth I just became a fan. It is a valuable lesson

BREON BORDERS CORNERBACK RE-SIGNED DAYS AFTER RELEASE BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM MARCH 1, 2021 Breon Borders is back. Less than a week after they released him, the Tennessee Titans re-signed the 25-year-old cornerback Monday. Borders appeared in six games for the Titans in 2020 and started five. He was credited with 27 tackles, five passes defensed, one tackle for loss and his first career interception. His season ended in early December, when he was placed on injured reserve with a hip issue. His last game was against Cleveland, a 41-35 loss in which he got beat for several big gains. “When you play this game for a long time, you are going to have days like that,” defensive backs coach Anthony Midget said a couple days later. “It’s how you bounce back from it. That’s what makes guys successful in this league, being able to bounce back and put that behind them.” Borders never got that opportunity. He will, however, get another chance after having been waived along with wide receiver Adam Humphries and cornerback Chris Milton last Thursday. He was one of the Titans’ more pleasant surprises of 2020 in a secondary that was racked with injury issues from start to finish. He earned his opportunity to get on the field and into the lineup with relentless competitiveness during practice sessions. “I would say [he has] probably one of the best attitudes on this football team as far as just day to day, and his outlook on his job and this football team,” coach Mike Vrabel said late in the regular season. “Couldn’t say enough say nice things about (Borders).”

A fourth-year pro out of Duke, Borders was not even on an NFL roster at the start of the season. Tennessee signed him to its practice squad on Sept. 21. His first appearance was as a gameday addition to the active roster, after which he immediately reverted to the practice squad. He was signed to the active roster on Nov. 7 and started opposite Malcolm Butler until he got hurt. He appeared in 12 games for Jacksonville (2018-19) and one for Washington (2019) prior to last season. ###

SHANE BOWEN SHANE BOWEN COMFORTABLE WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR TITLE BY TERRY MCCORMICK TITAN INSIDER AUGUST 3, 2021 Shane Bowen caught a lot of flak last year for the Titans' defensive shortcomings – and he didn't even have the title of defensive coordinator. This year, now that he has the title to go with the responsibilities of running the defense, Bowen said he feels much more able to communicate and convey his messages to the group. “Absolutely, I do. I think it has helped with everybody, with the coaching staff, the players. I think that it has been good up to this point,” Bowen said. “They kind of understand where the bus stops and it is what it is. I am excited for the opportunity, I really am. I am excited for the ways these guys are going about working right now and kind of what we are trying to get accomplished on defense.” Bowen said he has been more able to go back and forth between meeting rooms during defensive meetings this year, rather than have the outside linebackers duties on his plate. “I have been able to bounce around meeting rooms. Again, I think it goes back - and you guys heard it a lot last year, the coordination, the communication, making sure everybody is on the same page,” he said. “Now, the DB’s see something one way, I can immediately walk into the linebacker room and say, ‘Hey man, this is what we are thinking, this is how they see it.’ That way everybody sees things the same way, we are communicating things the same way. I think that has been a tremendous asset, being able to bounce room to room. “Also being able to understand and make sure we’re getting coach

rolling with coach, that is part of it too. I want to make sure they are hearing what they want and then when we go into the unit room, they better be able to spit it back and I know they then have got it covered. I think building the relationships with the guys, that is a big part of it. That last year I don’t think was there, whereas this year it is growing and it is becoming a bigger piece for me.” Bowen said that having Jim Schwartz as a senior defensive assistant as well as head coach Mike Vrabel as a mentor has been a benefit for him as well. “It has been great having (Jim) Schwartz here, it really has. He is a great sounding board for me as things go. Obviously, Mike (Vrabel), he knows it all so I can always turn to him. Schwartz has been great,” Bowen said. “Anything comes up, we talk through everything, we go through our plan for different scenarios. I think as we get more into situations, his experience with some of that stuff is going to pay dividends too. I am super excited he is here, he has been a great asset to me so far to this point and I expect that to continue.” Kicking it Both newcomer Sam Ficken and Tucker McCann were 6-of-6 kicking field goals in Ficken's first day with the Titans after being claimed off waivers from the New York Jets. The Titans waived Blake Haubeil to make room for Ficken after both Haubeil and McCann had missed two field goals each in a practice session last week. Defensive effort In the first padded practice, the defensehad an outstanding day for much of the session. The defensive line, led by Jeffery Simmons, proved disuptive, according to multiple accounts. “I think everybody has been kind of excited, waiting for this day to

happen. It is real football once we put the pads on. I think we have to come out here ready to go a little bit faster. I don’t think we started very fast, but I felt as the practice went on we improved,” Bowen said. Bowen said he was pleased with the energy and competitiveness that the defense has shown thus far in camp. “The energy, the competitiveness. I think all these guys are battling right now in a lot of ways, in their positional groups, against the offense. I see improvement. The biggest thing for us is just the consistency. Guys are getting better, we see it by player, we see it by unit, we see it by position group, but being able to do it day in and day out, play in and play out, that is where we have to be able to take the next step,” Bowen said ###

A.J. BROWN TITANS WR A.J. BROWN ON HIS NEW HOME IN TENNESSEE, AND HIS NFL ASPIRATIONS THE ROOKIE RECEIVER FROM OLE MISS, SELECTED IN THE SECOND-ROUND OF THE NFL DRAFT, IS ADJUSTING WELL IN HIS FIRST SEASON (AS TOLD TO BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE) NOVEMBER 18, 2019 NASHVILLE – My new home in Tennessee really does feel like home. Even before I was drafted by the Titans, I came to town on a pre-draft visit. I talked to coaches and other people with the team, and I got a good feel from them right out of the gate. From the start, I felt like this could be the place for me, even though I didn’t know a whole lot about the Titans. I knew about Steve McNair since he's from Mississippi, but for the most part I didn’t know a whole bunch about the team before then. Still, it just felt right. So when the Titans ended up picking me, I was really happy because my new home was not far from where I grew up in Starkville, Mississippi, and where I played college ball at Ole Miss. And I knew from the start it was a blessing because my family would get to come watch me play. Making things even better? My older sister, Reva, lives in Nashville, so that was huge for me. She’s 28, several years older than me, so it was nice to have her here to help me get settled in. Really, that was huge for me. When you go to a new place, you want to be around your family and she would cook me home-cooked meals, and she just made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I was 21-years-old when I got drafted and going off to live on your

own is an adjustment, different from college. Having my sister here helped, but I think me just being the way I am helped too. I am a homebody. Most 21-year-olds when they get drafted are probably in the streets, running around. But that’s not who I am, and it will never be who I am. My dad, Arthur, he doesn’t have to worry about me getting in trouble. A.J. Brown with his father, Arthur, and sister, Reva (center photo) who lived in Nashville prior to the Titans selecting Brown in the 2nd Round of the 2019 NFL Draft. A.J. Brown with his father, Arthur, and sister, Reva (center photo) who lived in Nashville prior to the Titans selecting Brown in the 2nd Round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Iam all about football. I love the game, and I want to be great. I’m always working at it. When I take a break from the game, I like to watch movies, play video games. I am really good at shooting pool, so that’s what I do when I have free time. It takes me away from the world and helps me get away. Sometimes I play some music and I shoot pool for hours. But really, football is my life. I get really bored in the offseason. I mean really bored. Because you can work out all day, and work out a million times, but there is nothing like being in season and playing ball and doing what you love. I was so excited to get started with the Titans. When I got drafted, I wanted to show what I was made of. I had a lot of expectations coming in, and I wanted to establish myself in training camp. Unfortunately, I couldn’t because I suffered an injury, so I had to sit down and wait, and be patient. I knew when I came back I’d have to put myself in a position to be ready, so I got the mental part of the game down, and I leaned on my teammates. My veteran teammates, they helped me out a lot. I wouldn’t be where I am today without those guys. They

helped me out with the plays and everything, kind of like big brothers. When I finally got healthy and more comfortable, I started to feel like myself and I started playing ball and it was good to make some plays and good to start helping the team. Ten games into my first NFL season, I think it’s gone OK as far as my expectations go. Of course, there are some plays I would like to have back, but I feel like I’ve gotten better and the second half of the season I want to take it to another level. A.J. Brown celebrates one of two TDs with teammates during the Titans-Falcons Week 4 game in Atlanta. Along the way I feel like I’ve also grown up a lot, too, and I’ve seen the NFL is a serious business. All of us as players, we support one another and are in this together and we want to win. I’ve already seen players come and go, and I’ve seen changes. Take quarterback Marcus Mariota, for instance. I’ve only been around him six months and I’ve grown to respect that guy so much. When we played the Broncos in Denver back in October and he was replaced in the lineup, I admit that was very hard for me. I got really emotional during the game, in fact. I think that’s why I got a pass interference penalty called on me, because I was so frustrated. I ended up throwing the guy from the Broncos to the ground and I got a penalty. I admit, I was crying during the play. And after the game, I was still emotional because me spending time with Marcus and really getting to know him, he became a brother to me. To see something like that happen to a great person, it was tough to deal with. I always tell him he’s such a pro in the way he handles himself, and I want to be like that myself. But I understand why decisions have to be made, and as a team and as a player you have to do your job and focus on yourself and how you can do better. I have so much respect for Ryan Tannehill, too, and how he

A.J. BROWN plays the game and he’s done great. And I am going to do everything I can to be the best player I can be to help him, and to help the team. I know I’m still just a rookie, and I know right now I am laying the groundwork for my career and I want to keep getting better and better. This is just the beginning. I want my teammates to see me work, and I want them to know how important football is to me. I feel like I can be the best receiver in this league, I really do, and that’s what I am striving for – to be the very best. And I really believe I can get there. I mentioned my home earlier, and I know being where I am today, I have a great opportunity in the NFL. I mentioned my dad earlier, too, and he’s the one who instilled in me to work hard at a young age. He’s retired now, but he worked for the electric company and I remember his work ethic. He was a good athlete growing up. His sport was baseball, and he was really good at it. And he always pushed me to be the best I can be. I still remember him telling me at a very young age: If you are not trying to be the best, then you need to find something else to do. So I have to give my dad credit for giving me that competitive edge an pushing me, and now it is up to me. I want to be successful in Tennessee. I want to prove the Titans made a smart move by picking me. I am trying to retire here. I know it is going to take a lot of work to reach my goals and to have the success I want to have, but without a doubt I am willing to work to make it happen. I am just getting started. ###

A.J. BROWN TITANS ROOKIE WR A.J. BROWN SHOWS OUT BEFORE “BIG BRO” JULIO JONES BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 ATLANTA – No. 11 stole the show early here on Sunday, but maybe not the one most expected. Titans rookie A.J. Brown set the tone by scoring the game’s first touchdown in a 24-10 win over the Falcons, and he followed that up with another touchdown in the victory. The team’s second-round pick of the NFL Draft left Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a pair of No.11 jerseys on Sunday – his own, and one belonging to Falcons receiver Julio Jones, his idol. After the game, Brown dished out credit to those around him, from quarterback Marcus Mariota to fellow receiver Corey Davis. He also showed respect for Jones, a six-time Pro Bowler that Brown said he models his game after. The two players talked after the game, and swapped jerseys. Brown said he picked No.11 in the NFL because of Jones after wearing No.1 at Ole Miss. “That’s my big bro,” Brown said of Jones. “He taught me everything I know, and he don’t even know it. I think so much of how he plays. I was watching him today, trying to steal something to put in my bag. He is a great one and one day I want to be like him. I want to be better than him.” ✔@jwyattsports .@Brown1arthur is leaving Atlanta with a souvenir — @juliojones_11 jersey. It’s the reason the @Titans receiver wears No. 1⃣1⃣. @AtlantaFalcons Brown had three catches for 94 yards and the two touchdowns

against the Falcons. He scored on a 55-yard catch after making a grab in the middle of the field and racing past defenders. Brown also had an 11-yard touchdown catch in the game, which gave the Titans a lead they never relinquished. “I want to make that the standard,” Brown said. “I tell myself I haven’t done anything yet. I have to keep my head down and keep working.” Brown’s performance came on a day when Mariota completed 18-of27 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns. Davis led the Tians with five catches, and he had 91 receiving yards and a 23-yard touchdown catch of his own. The Titans defense did a solid job vs. Jones, who had just four catches for 52 yards for the Falcons. In the contest, Jones reached a significant milestone – he became the fastest receiver to reach 11,000 receiving yards for his career. Earlier this season, Jones also became the alltime leading receiver in Falcons franchise history. “(Julio) told me just keep playing, keep balling, keep getting open,” Brown said. “He said, "Don’t let it be just one week, be consistent. You have to be reliable in this league.' “It means the world to me, talking to him.” ###

A.J. BROWN A.J. BROWN SEES VALIDATION IN PRO BOWL SELECTION

fourth player in franchise history with at least eight in back-to-back seasons.

TITANS WIDE RECEIVER BELIEVES HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRAFTED BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND.

“A.J. (Brown) consistently makes big plays for us,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said.

BY IAN KAYANJA SPORTS ILLUSTRATED DECEMBER 24, 2020 A.J. Brown wants his Pro Bowl selection to send a message to every NFL team that allowed him to fall to the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. “I think about that all the time to be honest,” Brown said. “We sit here and talk about stuff like that [teams passing on him]. And I have definitely thought about it a lot.” Monday, Brown one of two Titans named Pro Bowlers this season. The second-year Tennessee Titans wide receiver took to social media to explain his emotions after he received the news. “This is the night everyone passed on me,” Brown wrote on Twitter, along with the picture from the opening night of the 2019 NFL Draft. “Very humbling moment. Pro Bowl in year two.” The Titans selected Brown 51st overall last year. He was the fourth wide receiver chosen overall, and 27 of the NFL’s other franchises had at least one chance to pick him. Even the Titans passed on him once when they selected defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons in the first round. Brown has a career-high 10 touchdown catches. That puts him one behind Drew Bennett for the most by a player during the Titans era (1999-present) He also has at least one touchdown reception in nine of his 12 appearances on the season (he missed two games early with a knee injury). Combined with his eight touchdown receptions as a rookie, he is now the

Brown’s reliability as a primary target for Tannehill created a crucial synergy for the Titans’ offense all season. He now has three 100-yard receiving games in the season (vs. Pittsburgh, vs. Chicago, at Jacksonville). He has become the third player in franchise history to eclipse 1,500 career receiving yards before his 24th birthday. “(Tannehill) holds me accountable. And doesn’t let anything slide,” he said. “He is a leader to everyone, and most definitely me.” The Pro Bowl selection, for Brown, comes as a form of validation for the work he has put into this season. And though his team may have its eyes on a Super Bowl this year, he wants the others to look at him and think they made a mistake. “In this league, the only people you want validation from are your teammates and the people across from you,” Brown said. “To be voted in means a lot. And I’m blessed to be voted in so it means a lot.” ###

A.J. BROWN A.J. BROWN HAS SURGERY ON BOTH KNEES THE TENNESSEE TITANS' PRO BOWL WIDE RECEIVER REVEALS HIS MEDICAL SITUATION IN AN INSTAGRAM LIVE STREAM FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED. BY DAVID BOCLAIR SPORTS ILLUSTRATED JANUARY 19, 2021 A.J. Brown was one of the NFL’s best receivers in 2020. Yet he was far from his best. The Tennessee Titans’ top pass catcher for the second straight season went on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon and revealed that he had surgery on both knees. He streamed the live video from a hospital bed shortly after the procedure and even complained to a nurse that a drink irritated his throat. She explained that it was due to the ventilator that was employed while he was under anesthesia. “But yeah, look, I was sore all year,” Brown said. “Nobody knew. They told me I was done for the year in Week 2. I played all year. I ended up making the Pro Bowl. Didn’t know how I was going to do it. I did it.” A subsequent post from Brown's Twitter account, which referred to him in the third person, classified the work as "small procedures." The 2019 second-round draft pick out of Ole Miss led the Titans with 70 receptions for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns despite the fact that he missed two games. He was tied for fifth in the league in receiving touchdowns and was 16th in receiving yards. Among the 18 players who had at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2020, Brown’s 70 receptions were tied for the second fewest. A knee injury sidelined Brown for victories over Jacksonville and

Minnesota in Weeks 2 and 3, and he was on the injury report every week thereafter throughout the season with knee, ankle and hip issues. "He would do walk-thrus in a wheel chair," linebacker Will Compton playfully wrote on Twitter in response to Brown's revelation. "His knees were so bad - at one point they talked about pulling the plug. But death or surgery was never an option for (Brown). "Thru guided mediation (and) prayer he was able to somehow play on Sundays. One of the toughest men I know." He became the 11th NFL player to reach 1,000 yards in receiving each of his first two seasons in the league and the fifth since 1970 with at least 2,000 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns in his first two seasons. As a rookie, he led Tennessee with 52 receptions, 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. Brown was one of three Titans named to the Pro Bowl, a first for him in his career and scored at least one touchdown in 10 of the 14 games he played. “This is no talk, bro,” he said. “Like real talk—I’m going to be the best receiver in the NFL.” If he can stay healthy, he might be right. ###

A.J. BROWN A.J. BROWN: 'I’M PRETTY SURE EVERYONE CAN TELL THAT I’M HEALTHY' DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM JULY 31, 2021 NASHVILLE – It was understood throughout the 2020 NFL season that A.J. Brown was not fully healthy. The extent to which he was injured was not clear until weeks later. Four days into training camp, there is no doubt about the health of the Tennessee Titans’ Pro Bowl wide receiver. “I’m pretty sure everyone can tell that I’m healthy,” Brown said with a wry grin Saturday. “Pretty soon, everyone else will know too.” Brown, a second-round pick out of Ole Miss in 2019, is one of 11 players in NFL history to top 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons and one of five since 1970 with at least 2,000 receiving yards and 19 touchdown catches in his first two seasons combined. He got there – and earned his first Pro Bowl invitation – last season when he caught 70 passes for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns in just 14 games. Along the way, he was on the injury report every week of the regular season. It started with a knee injury right before the seasonopener at Denver and ended with knee and hand injuries that had him listed as “questionable” for the wild card playoff game against Baltimore (he played). There was also an ankle injury, and at times more than one of those issues was the reason for his inclusion on the injury report. The only games he missed were in Weeks 2 and 3. After that, he made it to the field every Sunday even though there were times he did not practice at all during the week. “It was all a mental thing,” Brown said. “Last year, like I was facing a lot of things. My knee. Then I rolled

my ankle real bad. I damaged some ligaments in my ankle, but I was kind of glad I hurt something else so I could take some pressure off the knee. That’s how – mentally – I had to do it. “… I knew I had to keep going. I knew my team needed me. “ Weeks after the loss to the Ravens, he revealed in an entertaining and enlightening social media post that he had surgery on both knees. That led to an offseason focused primarily on rehab. He was not an active participant in organized team activities (OTAs) or the mandatory June minicamp. He said the first time he ran on a football field was two weeks prior to the start of training camp. “This offseason was all weight room work,” he said. “Like, I wasn’t able to get on the field. … I’m excited. This is probably one of the first times me going into training camp that I’m fully healthy. “I’m flying around, having fun and making plays.” That he is. Right from the outset, he has looked every bit like a player whose first two seasons were no fluke. He has been a difficult matchup for all of the defensive backs, whether it is in individual periods, seven-on-seven or 11-on11 work. He’s also running his mouth, ramping up the competitive nature of things between the offense and the defense. “Obviously, A.J. – he’s a dog,” safety Kevin Byard said. “… He’s been out there making plays, scoring touchdowns. But, honestly, that is something we expect from him. Even when he was a rookie, he was making plays already. “What he’s doing now, it’s not really surprising because we know the talent that he has and the chip that he has on his shoulders because he wants to be one of the best in the league.”

Of course, it helps that he is healthy. “I’m so comfortable,” Brown said. “I feel like I can do whatever I want to do when I want to do it. My confidence is just through the roof.” ###

JAYON BROWN PROUD “UNCLE”: FORMER NFL GREAT WILLIE MCGINEST PROUD OF JAYON BROWN'S SUCCESS WITH TITANS BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE FEBRUARY 21, 2019

career, and even today we’ll go over film. “He gives me tips when I need them, when I ask for them. Even when I don’t ask for them, he’ll give them to me,” Brown continued, smiling. “He’s a guy who has tried to help me throughout my career, and he's helped me a lot."

Brown, a fifth round draft pick from UCLA in the 2017 NFL Draft, made a big leap for the Titans in 2018.

And because of it, he smiles when talking about Brown’s success.

He was second on the team with 107 tackles, and he also racked up six sacks and 18 quarterback pressures. He was one of the team’s most consistent players.

McGinest, an analyst with NFL Network, played from 1994-2005 with the Patriots before playing three more seasons with the Browns (2006-08). McGinest played in two Pro Bowls while in New England, and won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, where he was teammates with Titans coach Mike Vrabel. He’s in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame.

In the team’s finale against the Colts, Brown was a one-man wrecking crew, returning an interception for a touchdown before forcing another fumble – and recovering it – a little later. “He can be really good,” McGinest said of Brown. “He is still learning the game. They ask him to do a lot – he’s a cover guy, he can play the run, he can cover a tight end and a back if you need him to. He never has to come off the field, so he is still growing, and he is still learning. I think the sky is the limit.” Seeing Brown excel has been fun for McGinest to watch.

McGinest is also close with Brown, who just finished his second season with the Titans.

Watching how he’s done it makes him even prouder.

Brown said he wears No.55 because it’s the number McGinest wore during his playing days.

McGinest and Brown both made their comments from Super Bowl LIII earlier this month.

Like McGinest, Brown is from Long Beach, California, and he went to Long Beach Poly High School. McGinest has been close friends with Brown’s father, Jason, since they were youngsters.

“A lot of people always identify players just because of the football side of it,” McGinest said. “But this kid has a great personality. He has a great outlook on life, he’s happy,

“Willie has always been around my family growing up, so he’s pretty much my uncle,” Brown said. “He’s helped me out throughout my

“He’s just a great kid, on and off the field.” ###

NASHVILLE – Willie McGinest is able to say he knew Titans linebacker Jayon Brown way back when.

“He has always had the mentality, and the work ethic, from youth football to high school, all the way up,” McGinest said of Brown. “He’s a guy who never gave up on himself. He always worked. He always walks around with a smile, but he will work his butt off. I’m really proud of Jayon.”

and he loves doing what he is doing. And he’ll grind - he’ll work. I think when you have special guys like that you know they are going to have a bright future, and I kind of knew that with him.

JAYON BROWN BROWN NOT GIVING CONTRACT YEAR A SECOND THOUGHT

seven QB pressures, four tackles for loss, a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.

FOURTH-YEAR LB WAS THIRD ON TEAM IN TACKLES LAST SEASON

Entering the final year of his rookie contract, he could cash in on a big payday with success equal to or exceeding his 2019 production.

BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST AUGUST 13, 2020

“I haven't really thought about it,” Brown said of his contract situation. “I know this is the last year on my contract, but I'm just focused on performing this year and enjoying another opportunity to play with the guys in this locker room and this coaching staff… All my focus is on ... getting better each and every day in practice and perfecting my craft and my techniques, and basically getting ready for Denver Game 1.”

Tennessee Titans linebacker Jayon Brown has steadily improved every season since the team drafted him in the fifth round out of UCLA in the 2017 NFL draft. Many scouts doubted whether or not Brown could stick as a linebacker in the NFL due to his small 6-foot, 220-pound frame. But after a breakout 2019 season during which he ranked third on the team in tackles (105) and improved in coverage situations, Brown is making his living proving everyone wrong. “Every year I just want to improve on everything that I did good on and things I didn't do so good on,” Brown said. “Just become a more complete player. I hold myself to high standards and I want to be the best at what I do. So, for this year, I want to improve on everything across the board.” Brown went from a pass-rushing linebacker in 2018 to more of a coverage linebacker in 2019. He blitzed 74 times with six sacks two years ago and just 28 times last year with one sack. However, according to Pro Football Focus, since 2018 Brown is the highest-graded linebacker when lined up against tight ends and running backs and the fifth-highest graded coverage linebacker. He allowed zero touchdowns on 480 coverage snaps last year. The 25-year-old is poised for an even more productive 2020 season after the Titans solidified their pass rush, freeing up Brown to do what he does best. He finished 2019 with 105 tackles, eight passes defensed,

JAYON BROWN LB JAYON BROWN IS RETURNING TO THE TITANS, AND HE'S FIRED UP ABOUT IT BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MARCH 19, 2021 NASHVILLE – Jayon Brown is returning to the Titans, and he couldn't be more fired up about it. "I am so happy to be back to the team that drafted me and believed in me from Day One coming into the league with (GM) Jon Robinson," said Brown, who agreed to terms on a new deal with the Titans. "And knowing the system that Coach (Mike) Vrabel runs, and with our D.C., with Shane Bowen, just the familiarity with the team and the city that I know, the fan base, it is like I am coming back home." What's made Brown smile even bigger is the excitement he's seen from Titans fans reacting to the news. "I've been seeing some of the mentions on Twitter," Brown said. "I don't think I've gotten this much love in a very long time." Yes, the Titans are bringing back a key piece to their defense in Brown. On Friday, the team officially reached a deal with the franchise's fifth-round draft pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, a player who has developed into playmaker in the NFL. Brown, who was scheduled to hit the open market on the first day of free agency on Wednesday, instead opted to return to Tennessee, where he has played in 56 games over the past four seasons, with 33 starts. "I would love to play in Tennessee my whole career, and hopefully it goes that way," Brown said. "I can't tell the future, but Tennessee is a place I've grown to love, coming from southern California. I am so comfortable with the city, and our program, and I know what is expected out of me, being a leader,

being a playmaker, being a great tackler. "I am excited to come back to my linebacker coach, Jim Haslett, as well. I still have a lot to learn from him as well, with all the knowledge he has about the game." Since entering the NFL, Brown has tallied 367 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 35 quarterback pressures, 17 tackles for a loss, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 28 passes defensed. Brown tallied 76 stops and a sack, with an interception and four quarterback pressures, in 2020 before suffering a season-ending elbow injury in the team's win at Baltimore in November. Brown racked up a career-high 117 tackles in 2019, when he also had a sack, seven quarterback pressures, four tackles for a loss with an interception and fumble recovery. On an evolving defense, Brown's stability in the middle will be key. Brown said he's noticed some of the new additions on the defense in free agency, "and I'm looking forward to playing with those guys on the field." Brown said he's healthy, and ready to go. "I am fully cleared, and I can't wait to get back and show everybody this injury is not going to affect me," Brown said. "I am going to act like I never left and try and be better than ever. "Coming off the season I had last year, I feel like I have so much to improve on. So yeah, I am so hungry to come back for another year and give it another shot to defend out AFC South title, and go to the Super Bowl." ###

KEVIN BYARD DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES 'SAFE ROOM' DEDICATED TO TITANS SAFETY KEVIN BYARD AND HIS WIFE ON SUNDAY

Byard, a father of two who is the second oldest of seven children, grew up without a father in his home. Byard has said his family worked hard to make ends meet growing up.

BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 1, 2021

Byard, who played in college at MTSU, and his wife Clarke were on hand with their two children at Sunday's ribbon cutting.

NASHVILLE – Titans safety Kevin Byard and his wife Clarke unveiled the renovated facility housing the Davidson County Department of Children's Services' Safe Room on Sunday. The Safe Room is a dedicated space designed to help reduce the trauma for children who come into custody for child abuse and/or child neglect. Through a full cosmetic renovation this is now a safe space for the youth seeking refuge and gives them some sense of comfort. "God has extended so much grace to me and my wife and my family," Byard said. "We only feel right to try and do the same. I give 100 percent credit to my wife. … She ended up visiting this facility, and she had a vision, and wanted to be able to help out the community as much as possible. With me personally, I've had family that's been in the foster system, so this is near and dear to me as well." The Davidson County Foster System is the recipient of the Byard Family Legacy Fund's annual "Gift of Grace" Grant. "The Byard Family Legacy Fund actually has a grant called the "Grace Grant" and we model that after God's grace," Clarke Byard said. "We leave it open for individuals or for organizations … that are in need of a little grace, a little extra help to push forward with what they are trying to accomplish." The mission of the Byard Family Legacy Fund is not only to provide a sanctuary for families, but believes everyone deserves a second chance.

"I want to give my personal thanks to Clarke and Kevin Byard for what they have done for the children in our custody," DCS Commissioner Jennifer Nichols said. "Kids are taken in at all times, day and night, and during that transition period, it's probably some of the most dramatic hours for them. "The Byards have provided this home-like environment for them to stay in during those hours, and I can't imagine anything that is more important than the legacy this family is creating." On Sunday, the Byards were presented a Certificate of Appreciation signed by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. Also, the Safe Room was dedicated the Byards, and the plaque will be hung inside the "Byard Family Safety Room." "We all have a story – I have been through some rough times in my life as well," Byard said. "My path to where I am now definitely wasn't straight. … The thing we wanted to do (with the Safe Room) is to make sure these kids feel comfortable." ###

KEVIN BYARD BYARD NAMED TITANS’ WALTER PAYTON MAN OF THE YEAR FORMER BLUE RAIDER RECOGNIZED FOR SOCIAL ACTIVISM, COMMUNITY WORK BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST OCTOBER 30, 2020 Middle Tennessee sports fans have long known what kind of player and person Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard is. On Thursday, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was as close to giddy as local reporters have probably ever seen him when the third-year coach announced Byard as the Titans 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year. “I wanted to tell everybody how happy I was to tell the team about Kevin Byard being the Walter Payton recipient for the Titans,” he said. “That is a special honor. That's something that I know that our guys hold in high regard just to the service that they do and the care for others, so just excited to be able to tell the team that and then honor Kevin (Byard) in front of the team. So, I wanted to share that with you guys as well.” Byard is one of 32 finalists for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, which is given annually to recognize an NFL player for “commitment to philanthropy and community impact.” Byard was recognized by the NFL Players Association back in September as the first Community MVP of the season after he hosted a pair of events where he helped pack and distribute over 300 kits to distribute that included backpacks of school supplies and other various items for distance learning kids. Additionally, the 27-year-old All Pro has been one of the Titans’ biggest catalysts for speaking out on racism, social justice and police

brutality this year. Byard was also one of many Titans players out on the streets in March helping the city of Nashville with its tornado relief efforts. "This honor is no shock to anyone around Middle Tennessee," said Rick Stockstill, Byard’s former MTSU head coach. "Kevin is a great man, a great husband, and a great player who always works hard in the community helping others. There's not a better leader or teammate than Kevin Byard. We love him dearly and wish him nothing but success." Byard helped deliver his son back in August at his home in Nashville and also recently bought his mother a house back in May, stating it was “a pipe dream that only few are able to accomplish.” As the Titans nomination, Byard will receive up to $50,000 donated to a charity of his choice by the NFL Foundation and Nationwide. Should he win the NFL award, he will receive $250,000 donated to a charity of his choice. The winner will be announced during the Super Bowl in February 2021. No member of the Titans has ever won the award and quarterback Warren Moon is the only player in franchise history to ever win, doing so in 1989. Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell won the award last year when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. “I think that's the total package that we're striving for, that all of us are striving for, to have some balance in our families, in our personal life, in our professional life, and then also what we're able to do to impact other people around the community and I know that's something that Kevin has done a lot of,” Vrabel added. ###

KEVIN BYARD SUPER DAD: TITANS SAFETY KEVIN BYARD EXPLAINS HOW HE DELIVERED HIS OWN SON AT FAMILY'S HOME BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 NASHVILLE – Kevin Byard has made some clutch plays during the course of his playing career. In the season opener at Denver, in fact, his forced fumble led to an early Titans touchdown. But the 27-year-old made the play of his life last month when he delivered his own son, Kevin Leon Byard IV. Yes, it's true. And on Wednesday, Byard went into great detail about how it happened while on a video conference call with reporters. "It's one of those deals where we just couldn't make it to the hospital," Byard started off. "Obviously we weren't planning on having the baby at the house." Byard said his wife, Clarke, started having mild contractions on the evening of August 23. Around 10:30 p.m., Byard's wife woke up and things escalated quickly. Then, she started having more severe contractions while on the bathroom floor. The child was due on August 24th. "I kind of got up, I wasn't really panicking, but I scrambling to get some clothes on, helping her try to get dressed," Byard recalled. "Her mom was downstairs, so I called her up." Byard then got the car ready, as Clarke Byard started moving around. Byard called the doula and said, "meet us at the hospital." But with things changing, it became, "meet us at the house." With the doula on the speakerphone, the Byards provided updates. With the doula being 30 minutes away from the Byard's home, she

provided instructions. The first: "Let's try and get her in the bathtub." But by this time, Byard said his son's "head was already poking out." At this point, Byard said his wife was on her hands and knees. "The (doula) said, "Tell her to start pushing, the baby is coming," Byard recalled. "His face was pointing upward, so I could see his face was real purple. I was nervous about that, so the doula told me to support his head." About 10 or 15 minutes later, there was serious action. "Once he got his head out, his shoulders and everything just kind of slipped out," Byard said. "And I kind of caught him in my arms. He waited about five seconds, he coughed about two or three times, and started crying." Byard's wife remained on the floor, and an ambulance was called. "We ended up getting the placenta out, cut the umbilical cord, and we headed to the hospital," Byard said. "All of this happened from 10:30 to 11:05. It was like a 30-minute period. Things kind of went fast." Byard and his wife also have a oneyear-old daughter, Eliana. A former MTSU star and team captain who has recorded 17 interceptions in his NFL career, Byard knows he has a moment he'll never forget. "That was probably the most memorable thing me and my wife have ever been through in our relationship other than getting married," Byard said. "That's a story I am going to tell my son for the rest of our days." ###

KEVIN BYARD BEING PICKED BY TITANS A "DREAM COME TRUE" FOR S KEVIN BYARD BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE APRIL 30, 2016 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kevin Byard already had the Titans hat. And he could hardly wait to put in on. In the third round of Friday’s NFL Draft, the Middle Tennessee State star got his chance as his NFL dream was realized in a big way. “I kind of had it planned already,’’ Byard said with a smile while speaking to reports on a conference call. “As soon as I hung up, I said, ‘Give me my Titans hat. Titan up.’ “It’s the greatest feeling in the world,’’ Byard, who played 30 minutes down the road at MTSU, continued. “As soon as I heard the general manager’s voice, it was just a whirlwind of madness from me. It is a dream come true. Just a few years ago I never thought I would be in this position. I just have to think the man upstairs.” Byard earned his draft position, Titans general manager Jon Robinson said. Byard (5-11, 216) was an interception machine at MTSU, racking up 19 interceptions in four seasons. He displayed smarts on the field and off, something the Titans found out when they spent two hours with him on the MTSU campus recently. It’s why the team picked him 64th overall in the third round. “Outstanding ball skills,” Robinson said of Byard. “I think 19 interceptions speaks for itself, and he had 370-plus tackles as well. So he’s a really productive football player, and he’s a great guy. He is a captain, he is a (team-first guy). He embodies all the traits we are looking for. We think he can play free and strong, and he can play in the kicking game. He is really good

with the ball in his hands when he picks it off.” Over the phone, Robison could sense Byard’s excitement. “He is walking over now,’’ Robinson said with a smile. Byard racked up 66 tackles and four interceptions in 2015. With the Titans, he’ll have a chance to compete for playing time, and potentially a starting spot, as a rookie. Coach Mike Mularkey said the addition of Byard adds competition at the position, which he welcomes. “This is what we want,’” Mularkey said. “Those guys that want to buy in and compete and do the things we are doing, those guys will be the players we’re going to do our best to keep around here.” Byard watched the draft with his family. He was hoping the Titans would pick him. He said he watched Titans games every Sunday from the locker room while at MTSU. When he was selected, he said he got 100 text messages and “probably 30 missed calls.” “When they picked me, it was almost surreal,’’ Byard said. “I am going to go in there and work as hard as anybody coming in. I am going to go in there and make an immediate impact on special teams, and I am going to go in there and try and fight for a starting job, that is my plan. “I am glad the Titans picked me, and they made the best decision of the draft by picking me. I am excited and ready to go to work.” ###

KEVIN BYARD BYARD A RARITY: NFL INTERCEPTIONS LEADER, NOT A PRO BOWLER BY DAVID BOCLAIR NASHVILLE POST JANUARY 3, 2018 There is nothing unique about the fact that Kevin Byard’s eight interceptions were enough to get him to the top of the NFL for the just-completed 2017 season. This is the 10th straight year that the league leader(s) finished with seven, eight or nine. The last time anyone had more than that was 2007, when Antonio Cromartie picked off 10 passes for San Diego. What’s odd is that Byard’s eight picks were not enough to get him to the Pro Bowl. The Tennessee Titans safety is just the second player in the past decade to lead or share the league lead in interceptions but not earn a spot in the NFL’s annual all-star affair. The only other one was New England cornerback Kyle Arrington, one of three players who finished with seven picks in 2011. Byard got to eight when he picked off two passes in Sunday’s regular season finale against Jacksonville and shared the title with Detroit cornerback Darius Slay, who was selected to play for the NFC in this year’s Pro Bowl later this month.

2011: Charles Woodson, GB; Kyle Arrington, NE; Eric Weddle, SD – 7 2010: Ed Reed, Baltimore – 8 2009: Charles Woodson, GB; Darren Sharper, NO; Jairus Byrd, Buff; Asante Samuel, Phi. – 9 2008: Ed Reed, Baltimore – 9 “I told myself when I got snubbed that the only thing I can do is go out there and play to my highest level,” Byard said Sunday. “And I got two (Sunday). So I’m leading the league. So they (have) to do a little bit more research when it comes to Pro Bowl picks and stuff like that." It’s possible that because Byard is just a second-year player , executives overlooked him (Byard won the fan votes, which accounted for one-third of the selection process). However, Kansas City’s Marcus Peters was a rookie when he made it in 2015, when he shared the interception title with Cincinnati’s Reggie Nelson. Likewise, Byard does not yet have the reputation of some other recent interception leaders such as Richard Sherman, Charles Woodson and Ed Reed. Yet Sherman had not been a Pro Bowler before 2013, when he finished with a league-high eight picks. That year he made the first of four Pro Bowl appearances.

A rundown of the NFL’s interception leaders (2008-17):

Then there is safety Glover Quin, who made it to the Pro Bowl once in nine NFL seasons. That was 2014, when he topped the league with seven interceptions.

2017: Kevin Byard, Tennessee; Darius Slay, Detroit – 8

Somehow, though, overlooked.

2016: Casey Hayward, San Diego – 7

“He's a good football player, has a lot of confidence,” coach Mike Mularkey said. “We all have a lot of confidence in (Byard). He deserves it. He shows if you do what you're asked to do and you're in the right place, good things happen and it continues to happen for him.”

2015: Reggie Nelson, Cincinnati; Marcus Peters, Kansas City – 8 2014: Glover Quin, Detroit – 7 2013: Richard Sherman, Seattle – 8 2012: Tim Jennings, Chicago – 9

KEITH CARTER TITANS’ TAYLOR LEWAN, KEITH CARTER FIND CONNECTION AFTER ROCKY START BY JOHN GLENNON BROADWAY SPORTS MEDIA AUGUST 7, 2021 It was not love at first sight. That might be the easiest way to describe the early stages of the relationship between Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan and his offensive line coach, Keith Carter. Truth be told, it’s pretty easy to see – in retrospect – why the two took to one another like beer and firecrackers. On the one side was the brash Lewan, who – in 2018, when Carter came aboard as part of Mike Vrabel’s staff – was feeling pretty good about himself. Just 26 years old at the time, Lewan was coming off a second straight Pro Bowl appearance, and the Titans were coming off their first playoff victory in 15 years. Much of the reason the team had produced back-to-back winning records had been Lewan and the offensive line. The group had helped DeMarco Murray pile up nearly 2,000 rushing yards during that stretch, while allowing just 28 sacks in 2016, 35 in 2017. So why fix what wasn’t broke? Lewan had thrived under his former offensive line coach, Hall of Famer – and former “Hog” – Russ Grimm, who brought a low-key, laid-back leadership style to his position. “Just kind of a relaxed guy, chillin’ all the time,” Lewan said of Grimm. “Maybe has a beer at 9 in the morning kind of dude, relaxing.” It would have been difficult to find a more polar opposite for Grimm than Carter, a tightly wound, hyper-focused bundle of energy,

whose playing career as a tight end had come to an end at UCLA in 2003 – the result of a motorcycle accident that left him with a fractured and dislocated right hip. Just 35 years old at the time, Carter was – like Lewan – also feeling pretty good about himself, seemingly on the coaching fast track after being put in charge of an NFL offensive line for the first time in his career. “I went in there full of piss and vinegar,” Carter said of the Titans job, “and ready to rock and roll.” Predictably, this attitude did not go over well with Lewan, who hails from the John Mellencamp school of taking orders. “I’ve never done a very good job with authority, and he’s definitely an authoritative figure,” Lewan said of Carter. “So that was a hard thing for me to handle and, you know, that’s just being as candid as possible.” Added Carter: “I was the new guy, he was the veteran that’s been here. I wanted to change things, he wanted to keep (things the same). It’s the age-old story you’ve heard over and over.” So it’s fair to say Lewan wasn’t clamoring for private tutoring sessions from Carter in the early going, nor would Carter have been a welcome guest on the famed Bussin’ With The Boys bus – if Lewan and Will Compton’s podcast had even been in existence back then. “There were some moments,” Carter said. “We had some arguments and stuff, but it was never awful.” Somewhere along the way, of course, Lewan began to slowly, grudgingly appreciate his new position coach. Sure, the nononsense, highly efficient Carter might push his linemen hard. Sure, Carter might challenge Vrabel for sheer number of F-bombs dropped on the practice field. But as intense

as Carter was, he was also a very detailed technician. Even Lewan saw that. “There was some resistance from me in the beginning of our relationship,” Lewan said. “I went scratching and clawing the whole way.” But the fact is that Lewan did eventually buy in. That was a huge win for the young offensive line coach because if his Pro Bowl left tackle wasn’t on board, how was Carter supposed to make inroads with the Titans’ other linemen? At the time, that group included the likes of Jack Conklin, Quinton Spain, Ben Jones and Dennis Kelly among others. “It means everything,” Carter said of Lewan’s attitude change. “You needed the players that play at their best to believe in what you’re doing. Because everybody else will follow.” More than three years into their relationship, the 30 year-old Lewan is now even more impressed by Carter’s work as a coach. On Carter’s watch, Lewan went to another Pro Bowl in 2018, Nate Davis evolved into one of the league’s better guards, Kelly transformed from journeyman into effective starter, and back-ups Ty Sambrailo and David Quessenberry gave the Titans a huge boost filling in for injured starters last year. The team’s offensive line has helped pave the way for Derrick Henry to run for 3,567 yards and 33 touchdowns over the last two seasons, while making huge strides in pass protection – surrendering only 25 sacks last year after a dismal 56 in 2019. “I think his standard and what he’s held us to has shown a lot in the success we’ve had,” Lewan said of Carter. “I hate saying that out loud, but he was right, so I think I have a lot more appreciation for Keith and what he demands out of us. It’s

KEITH CARTER allowed us to go out there and play the way we do as an offensive line. “There’s always a lot of things we can do better. But there’s a consistency of everyone wanting to get better every day. No one is coming out here and going through the motions. Keith won’t let that happen.” And fittingly enough, Carter’s admiration for his 6-7, 309-pound left tackle, the one with the razorsharp wit and the James Dean streak, has grown as well. When the Titans were without Lewan for most of last season, the team not only missed his talent – but his evercharged battery as well. “It’s 100 percent,” Carter said of the energy difference with and without Lewan. “I’ve said it before. He’s a big personality. He’s the life of the party, so to speak. “So from an energy and juice standpoint, that’s really important. You need that. Because you get in these dog days of camp and stuff, it can kind of get mundane. You have those hump days, and so he’s a big help getting over those.” How’s that for admiration society?

a

mutual

We don’t know whether things have progressed to the point that Lewan and Carter are sharing barbecue recipes or taking vacations together these days. But as Vrabel said Friday, it’s not about coach and player being best friends. Rather, it’s about being able to form a professional connection, one based on trust and a willingness to compromise. That’s the point Lewan and Carter have reached. “A lot of these players have great ideas and have done things a certain way and have been successful at it,” Vrabel said. “All we ask them to do is try to keep an open mind and be willing to change, and to improve and try to think about some new techniques. I think Taylor has done that, I think Keith has done that.”

It always takes two. ###

MORGAN COX NEW TITANS LONG SNAPPER MORGAN COX, A FOUR-TIME PRO BOWLER, EXCITED ABOUT RETURN TO TENNESSEE BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MARCH 18, 2021 NASHVILLE – Morgan Cox is coming back to Tennessee, to join the Titans. Cox, who played 11 seasons as the long snapper for the Baltimore Ravens, on Thursday agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Titans. A Collierville native who played at Evangelical Christian School and the University of Tennessee, Cox is regarded as one of the best long snappers in the NFL. "It was a huge attraction for me," Cox said of returning to the state. "Getting to play high school ball in Memphis and college ball in Knoxville, it just seems fitting for me to come here. I am really excited. My phone has been blowing up ever since the news hit. I have been invested in the Titans for many years now – I remember when they came to town and they were playing in the Liberty Bowl back in the day and I came to games when I was in high school. "I love this organization. This was an easy "yes" for me. As soon as I learned that they were interested, I was ecstatic just on that. And to get the news that we had finalized it was beyond. … I am joining a great team already, and I am excited to see how I can help improve it." Cox is a four-time Pro Bowler, and when the league added long snapper to this year's All-Pro ballot, Cox became the first honoree. Cox, 34, joined the Ravens in 2010 as an undrafted rookie from Tennessee. He was released by the team earlier this offseason.

Cox has played in 165 games in his NFL career. Cox was a walk-on at the University of Tennessee before earning a scholarship prior to the 2008 season. He was the starting long snapper for Tennessee for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 seasons and he earned Academic All-SEC honors from 2006–2009. With the Titans, he'll snap to Titans punter Brett Kern on punts, but the team's kicker for 2021 remains unclear. Cox and Kern talked on FaceTime after Cox agreed to the deal, and they've already made plans to work on their chemistry together. Cox made the drive from Memphis to Nashville on Thursday to sign his new deal. "I am excited to work with Brett," Cox said. "I've worked with him at the Pro Bowl, and I have already planned it out in my mind and stuff. So, I am excited to get together and get to work … and I am excited about being in Tennessee and where we could go. I think the sky is the limit." ###

BUD DUPREE TENNESSEE TITANS' NFL FREE-AGENT SIGNINGS 2021: BUD DUPREE SHOULD HELP PASS RUSH BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN.COM MARCH 15, 2021 NFL free agency is off and running, and we're keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2021 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year begins March 17 at 4 p.m. ET, which means free-agent signings can be made official after that. The first round of the 2021 NFL draft begins April 29 on ESPN. The Titans have multiple roster needs that have to be addressed. Finding an impact pass-rusher tops the Titans' defensive needs list. Adding a game-changing defensive end/outside linebacker will likely take up most of their cap space that Tennessee has to work with. The Titans could also use some help at the cornerback position, specifically at nickel. Wide receiver and tight end are the biggest needs for the Titans' offense. They'll need to find a kicker as well. Filling out the roster with limited cap space and 20 players that are set to become free agents won't be an easy task. Here's a breakdown of every 2021 NFL free-agent signing by the Tennessee Titans, and how each will impact the upcoming season: The Titans hope Bud Dupree can bolster their pass rush. Photo by Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire Bud Dupree, linebacker The Titans have agreed to a deal with linebacker Bud Dupree, the former Steeler told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday. The deal will pay Dupree more than $16 million per year. What it means: The Titans get much-needed pass-rush help by signing Dupree who had eight sacks

in 11 games last season. Dupree had 11.5 sacks in 2019. The 6-foot-4, 269-pound outside linebacker complement's Harold Landry who is more of a speed rusher coming from the opposite side. Dupree's 24 tackles for loss over the last two seasons show he's capable of making plays behind the line of scrimmage which should help set up more third-and-long situations to allow the pass rush to go after the quarterback. The Titans allowed opposing offenses to convert on 51.8% of their third-down opportunities. That should change this season. What's the risk: Dupree is coming off a torn ACL that occurred in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. He told Fowler in early March he plans to be a full participant in an NFL training camp based on positive feedback from his doctors. The injury is a reason to be concerned, especially for a player that relies on his explosiveness to get a jump on the snap and rush the passer. The other thing to consider is whether or not Dupree will be successful without T.J. Watt on the opposite side. Dupree only posted 4.5 sacks in 2016 before Watt arrived. Veteran Denico Autry has 30.5 sacks and 202 tackles in 96 games over seven seasons. Jeffrey Brown/Icon Sportswire Denico Autry, defensive lineman Autry agreed to a three-year deal with the Titans. What it means: The Titans needed to add to their pass rush after struggling to sack the quarterback last season (19 sacks, ranked 30th). Titans GM Jon Robinson found a disruptive interior defender in Autry, who had 7.5 sacks last season with the Colts as a complement to DeForrest Buckner (9.5 sacks). Tennessee hopes to create a similarly disruptive tandem with Autry and third-year defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. Autry created an additional five sacks last season and was double-teamed on 57.8% of his interior pass rushes.

Now that the Titans have the interior rush solidified, they can turn their attention to an impact defender who can rush the passer off the edge. What's the risk: There really aren't any risks. At 30 years old, Autry had his second-best season last year with the Colts and that was next to Buckner. The Titans are banking on Autry's ability to be successful without Buckner as his running mate. It's not out of the question as Autry led the Colts with nine sacks in 2018. He finished with 3.5 sacks the year before Buckner arrived in Indianapolis. Autry will be 33 years old by the time his contract with the Titans expires. Kendall Lamm, offensive tackle What it means: Lamm gives the Titans a reserve tackle that can back up starters Taylor Lewan and Dennis Kelly. Tennessee will likely lose veteran tackle Ty Sambrailo to free agency so signing Lamm who is a year younger is a good move. Lamm comes to the Titans from the Browns who employ a similar zoneblocking scheme. Just for good measure, Lamm caught a one-yard pass for a touchdown for the Browns in their Week 13 win over the Titans last season. Under Mike Vrabel, the Titans have used numerous tackleeligible plays that have resulted in offensive linemen catching touchdowns. Lamm could follow in the lines of Kelly and reserve tackle David Quessenberry. What's the risk: There really aren't any risks to this deal. At 28-yearsold, Lamm is a veteran tackle that can fill in if called upon. His $8.5 million salary over two years is a bargain for a reserve offensive lineman. ###

BUD DUPREE EDGE RUSHER BUD DUPREE ALL SMILES AFTER FIRST PRACTICE WITH TITANS BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 6, 2021 NASHVILLE – In the grand scheme of things, it was just one practice. But for Titans edge rusher Bud Dupree, it was a start. "Everybody said: Welcome back," Dupree said after his first practice with the Titans on Friday. "(My teammates are) excited, just like I am excited. I haven't played football since December, so it is exciting for me just to be able to do the things I am doing right now. It is fun. I love this game, and I am excited to be on the Titans." Dupree, signed back in March, practiced for the first time – on the team's eighth practice of training camp – after being taken off the team's Physically Unable to Perform list earlier in the day. Decked out in No.48, with red socks, red gloves, and a red sleeve on his right arm, Dupree went through individual drills, and he worked in other periods as well. Dupree said coaches and trainers are deciding on how much he does as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered last season while with the Steelers. It was a different look for Dupree, who wore black and gold with the Steelers since being drafted in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. "It' different, but it's fun," said Dupree, who started 66 games and he posted 39.5 sacks, 231 tackles, 54 tackles for loss, an interception return for a touchdown and 65 quarterback hits in six seasons in Pittsburgh. "Change of color doesn't mean anything. You just have to go out there and embrace your new atmosphere, embrace your new team and put everything else behind you."

Dupree, 28, recorded eight sacks in 11 games in 2020 before suffering the season-ending knee injury and he also posted 31 tackles, 8 tackles for loss and 15 quarterback hits. Dupree posted a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2019 with 17 quarterback hits and 16 tackles for loss. Dupree's 19.5 sacks over the past two seasons rank eighth and his six strip sacks rank fourth in the NFL since 2019. During the offseason, Dupree rehabbed in both Arizona and Atlanta, and also in Nashville. The Titans placed him on PUP at the start of camp, and he's spent the past 10 days working inside and outside at Saint Thomas Sports Park with trainers, while attending meetings. As Dupree edges closer to being 100 percent, he knows the biggest question centering him now is: Will he be ready for Week 1? "God willing, I am," Dupree said with a smile. "I am working hard to be able to be in a position to play whenever they need me to play. If they want me to play Week 1, if they want me to play Week 2, if they want me to play Week 3, 4, or 5, it doesn't matter. But I know mentally and physically I am going to be ready. "So I am just going to put everything on them to allow me to know when I'll be suiting up." ###

DARRYNTON EVANS OAK HILL TO THE NFL: ROOKIE DARRYNTON EVANS IS A BIG TALENT FROM A SMALL TOWN BY JOHN GLENNON THE ATHLETIC MAY 13, 2020 Editor’s note: This is the third in a six-part series on the Tennessee Titans’ 2020 NFL Draft picks. John Glennon’s story on Isaiah Wilson and Joe Rexrode’s story on Kristian Fulton were published earlier this week. Situated between Daytona and Cocoa Beach on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, Darrynton Evans’ hometown of Oak Hill doesn’t carry quite the marquee name of the Sunshine State’s hot spots. It’s so under-the-radar, in fact, that the town is one of very few on Florida’s east coast without its own exit on Interstate 95. You really want to get to Oak Hill? Take the exit to one of its big neighbors — Edgewater or Titusville — and start working your way through the back roads. But don’t blink. Oak Hill’s population stood at 1,792 as of the last census, and if you’re not careful, you’ll blow through town before you know it. “It’s, umm, really small,” Evans said. “We have one blinking light, one Dollar General store, one gas station and then a flea market.” Those who know football, however, are becoming increasingly familiar with the little town, which — just in case you were wondering — also marks the end of Florida’s 156-mile “River of Lakes Heritage Corridor.” Evans will be one of two NFL players from Oak Hill in 2020, joining safety D’Cota Dixon, who spent last season, his first in the league, on injured reserve with the Buccaneers. Evans and Dixon attended New Smyrna High School, which has also recently produced Raheem

Mostert, who led the NFC champion 49ers in rushing last season, and linebacker Cole Holcomb, who piled up 105 tackles as a Washington Redskins rookie. Mostert, who played for five teams in his first two seasons in the league, has found a home in San Francisco. He was among the first to reach out to Evans on social media during the draft, tweeting three simple words: “We built different!” It was a message that celebrated the New Smyrna talent pipeline, and — perhaps — served to acknowledge that Evans may turn out to be the best of the bunch. “You guys in Tennessee got a great pick in Darrynton, and you’re in for a real treat,” said Mostert, who ran for 220 yards and four touchdowns in last season’s NFC Championship Game victory. “He’s got that same underdog mentality as I do, always having that chip on his shoulder and wanting to go out and prove himself when people doubt him. He’s really something special, and I can’t wait to see him take off.” ‘We had our fingers crossed’ Justin Watts knows the way to Oak Hill. As the recruiting coordinator at Appalachian State, Watts is tasked with discovering those hidden gems who have managed to elude the Power 5 conferences for one reason or another. Watts first met Evans at New Smyrna High in 2015. He expected to find a back who was a little too small to excite the bigger programs. He was pleasantly surprised when he first spotted Evans in the weight room. “At our level, you kind of expect to see a slighter-built athlete, but Darrynton was built a lot better and was a lot more powerful looking than I expected,” Watts said. “Then you start watching a little film of him, and you see what speed he had and how explosive he was.”

What Watts also saw were intangibles such as effort and determination, a possible byproduct of a little-brother syndrome. Evans and Eugene Mostert, Raheem’s younger brother, competed for years with their big brothers despite an age difference of about half a decade. “(Darrynton) was definitely one of those kids that wanted to play with the big boys,” Mostert recalled. “He felt like he was too advanced to play with the smaller kids, and he wanted to get better by playing with us. I was the same way growing up. I wanted to prove myself against the big dogs. That’s the mindset you had to have down there.” Watts was confident he’d found a talent in Evans. But he had to sweat out the next several months, hoping Evans wouldn’t attract too much attention and earn an offer from a Power 5 school. The palms of the Appalachian State coaching staff grew especially sweaty when Evans turned in a strong performance at the University of North Carolina’s camp. But the Tar Heels were looking for backs with more size than Evans, who weighed about only 170 pounds at the time. “The way he competed at that (North Carolina) camp with the socalled bigger names and bigger stars, we thought he outshined all of them,” Appalachian State head coach Shawn Clark said. “We thought he was the best one in camp that day. So we had our fingers crossed hoping North Carolina wouldn’t offer. When they didn’t, we went full speed ahead.” Conquering the Cube Appalachian State’s coaches were at first uncertain where to use Evans, who had experience as a running back and wide receiver. At the time, the Mountaineers were loaded in the backfield with Marcus Cox, the school’s all-time leading rusher, and future NFL player Jalin Moore. But Clark, who was then the team’s offensive coordinator, knew he had

DARRYNTON EVANS to find some way to get Evans involved. That much was clear when Evans was running conditioning sprints after practice — and finishing 5 to 10 yards ahead of nearly everyone else. “I still remember on day one of fall camp when (Evans) was a freshman. I saw him take a little bubble screen and go about 80 yards for a touchdown,” Clark said. “I mentioned to (former Appalachian State head coach) Scott Satterfield, ‘I don’t care where he plays, just get the ball to him, especially at running back. Because he can make an offensive line look very good.’” It wasn’t just Evans’ skills as an athlete, however, that impressed the coaching staff in the early going. An honor roll student in high school, Evans threw himself into the mental side of the game as well. He didn’t just play the game — he studied it. “He wasn’t the usual kind of freshman, coming in and trying to find his way through,” Clark said. “He was picking the brains of coaches. I was coaching the offensive line, and we’d sit down and talk about protection schemes, the run game, where you want the ball to hit.” That sounds like the inquisitive nature of a youngster who made quick work of the Rubik’s Cube in high school. True story: Inspired by a member of the swim team who solved it, Evans and five of his New Smyrna teammates bought their own cubes and set up a competition — with a tasty reward for the victor. “We decided whoever could solve it the fastest gets a meal from every other person,” Evans said. “So I ended up getting it done about two or 2 1/2 days later. I had free meals for a week, basically. It was nice.” ‘Lit up like a Christmas tree’ Most of Evans’ contributions as a freshman came on special teams — he returned 25 kicks, one for a touchdown — and he redshirted the following season because of an injury. By 2018, Evans was

shredding Sun Belt defenses, averaging 6.6 yards per carry on the way to a conference-best 1,187 rushing yards. It was just before the 2019 season, Evans’ final year at Appalachian State, that he found himself floored by a family concern. His mother, Evelyn, was diagnosed in July with stage 1 endometrial cancer, a form of the disease that begins in the uterus. The same jovial and enthusiastic mom, who’d been in the stands for nearly every game of his career, would be forced to undergo surgery to remove the cancer. “It hit me hard,” Evans said. “But at the same time, my mom and the rest of the family were so positive about it. She just gave it to God and that helped me. Really, she wasn’t too concerned about herself. She was more concerned about not being there for my games.” On Oct. 31, Evelyn, only months removed from successful surgery, was back cheering for her youngest son. The retired Florida Department of Corrections probation officer, along with her husband, Darry, made the 600-mile trek up from Oak Hill, supporting Darrynton on a snowy Halloween night in Boone, N.C. “He just lit up like a Christmas tree,” Clark said of Evans, “and it was a beautiful thing to watch.” By season’s end, Evans had piled up 1,480 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground, adding five touchdown catches on just 21 receptions. One of the more impressive stats the 5-foot-10, 203pound Evans compiled: Over the course of his final two seasons, he totaled 11 runs of 50 yards or more. Where did Evans develop the kind of speed that enabled him to run a 4.4 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine? In little Oak Hill, of course, playing with the big boys. “I was always playing with those older guys from Pop Warner

through high school, and I had to find some kind of advantage to help me keep pace and play with everyone,” Evans said. “I had to find my niche and what I could do, where I could get on the field and produce. So speed has been there. I would say I just did it in college on a bigger stage.” ‘Those guys couldn’t cover him’ So now Evans must prepare himself for the NFL, the biggest stage of all. And, thanks to the Appalachian State staff, he got a head start last fall. Every year, the Mountaineer coaches study one NFL offense and incorporate some of its principles into their own playbook. It just so happened that App State chose the Titans prior to the 2019 season. “I don’t think there will be much teaching because he understands it,” Clark said. “I think that should make it an easy transition for him.” While hulking Derrick Henry is still expected to get the bulk of the Titans’ carries this season, the team’s hope is that Evans can provide a change-up — a blazer who can fly past defenses that get accustomed to Henry’s power. In addition, Evans is likely to have plenty of opportunities as a thirddown receiver. Sure, he only caught 21 passes in the Mountaineers’ ground-based attack last year, but Evans does show promise as a pass catcher. “We could have him in the backfield, shift to empty and put him on a linebacker,” Clark said. “It didn’t matter whether it was Penn State, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina or Coastal Carolina. It was the same result. Those guys couldn’t cover him in space. “He’s just a guy that does a great job understanding what you’re trying to get done on offense, whether it’s the run or pass protections. He saved us many times on protections because he just knew where the hot guy was coming from. He took a hit off the quarterback. It was just very impressive to watch him do that.”

DARRYNTON EVANS We’ll let Mostert, Evans’ fellow New Smyrna alum, offer up a final juicy NFL scouting report. “He brings a lot of unique ability in the passing game,” Mostert said. “He’s more like Alvin Kamara coming out of the backfield, able to catch and also take jet sweeps and do all that type of stuff. He’s not just one-dimensional. He can definitely do multiple things.” High praise and high expectations? Correct on both counts. But who knows? If Evans can live up to those kinds of standards, he might just earn Oak Hill an exit all its own one day. ###

DARRYNTON EVANS TITANS RB DARRYNTON EVANS GETTING UP TO SPEED IN SECOND YEAR WITH TEAM BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MAY 29, 2021 NASHVILLE – Darrynton Evans is used to doing things fast – he was once clocked at a 4.36 in the 40 while in college at Appalachian State. While Evans maybe didn't know it – or appreciate it – at the time, he thinks slowing down during his rookie season with the Titans in 2020 was beneficial. And he hopes it will help him moving forward. "Getting hurt last year was probably one of the best things for me," Evans said on Thursday. "It gave me time to sit down and reflect on everything on the field, where now I see things a lot different." Evans found this out the hard way. The talented running back played in just five games last season because of injuries. He carried the ball just 14 times for 54 yards, with two catches for 27 yards and a score. He also contributed on special teams. A third round (93rd overall) pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the 5-foot-10, 203-pound Evans posted 4,642 allpurpose yards at Appalachian State, with 34 career touchdowns. In 2019, Evans produced 2,064 all-purpose yards with 1,480 rushing, 198 as a receiver and 386 on kickoff returns. "It is kind of hard to say you didn't get frustrated, definitely when you want to be out there on the field," Evans said. "You worked hard, but you aren't able to showcase anything. It is definitely tough. But at the same time, you have to be able to keep a level head, because if you don't it's not going to get any better." The Titans want to see Evans take a big step in 2021, and it's starting this offseason.

### Evans was very active in Thursday's OTA. In addition to working at running back, he also worked with the receivers in individual drills as the team explores his abilities. Chances are the experiment was done to expand his skills as a threat out of the backfield, but as they say, the more you can do … "I don't know where he's going to line up right now, but I know that Darrynton has been a versatile player," Titans Coach Mike Vrabel said of Evans. "I know he dealt with some injuries in his first year. I would say that he's a player that we're excited about, and (he) has some versatility. He worked (at receiver Thursday), and those are ideas that we try to have. (We) try to get him some cross training work, and a lot of those players that can handle more than one particular role, then we'll continue to add those roles to them, and I'd say Darrynton would be one of those players." Evans plans to use the OTAs, and this offseason, as a chance to prepare himself for bigger and better things in 2021 in a running backs room that features Derrick Henry. He's asking more questions, even though he has a much better understanding of the playbook. This time last year, because of the pandemic, Evans was working out in Florida, not with his coaches and teammates in organized team activities. The time on the practice field this offseason should help him, no matter how he's used by the team. "Wherever coach Vrabel tells me to go, that's where I am going to go," Evans said. "If he wants me to play tight end and get some reps there, I'm going to go there. If he wants me to go o-line, I'll end up going there. "Really, I am just excited to go wherever I can to help the team and try and contribute – that's my main thing, to try and contribute this year and help the team advance."

RASHAAN EVANS HOW CHASING HORSES, COUNTRY LIFE SHAPED TITANS' RASHAAN EVANS BY CAMERON WOLFE ESPN.COM JUNE 21, 2018 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Aladdin is much faster than you, but maybe one day you'll catch him. That thought ran through Tennessee Titans linebacker Rashaan Evans' head day after day, week after week, year after year while growing up on his family's ranch in the deep country woods of Auburn, Alabama. The Evans brothers essentially had a farm lifestyle, living on 5 acres of open land with unfenced woods covering much more ground. They raised chickens, ducks, rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, other foreign animals and even hosted coyotes that would sometimes kill the chickens. It was here that Evans fell in love with nature. He has a special affinity for horses that began when he and his brother, Alex, participated in equestrian events as youngsters. But chasing a horse is unusual. Alex, a year-and-a-half younger than Rashaan, is the animal aficionado of the family. He brought the idea to Rashaan when the two were in fourth and fifth grade, respectively. Rashaan looked at him like he had two heads. Alex saw it as fun and exercise. He knew the family's handful of Arabian horses, known for endurance, ran up to 3035 miles per hour. "That sounded dangerous: to run behind a horse? A horse is a powerful animal. It could kill you. I thought he was crazy," Rashaan said. "But I tried it one day. Everything went good. We kept doing it. I enjoyed it. I actually got a little faster." Alex, the only one of the two to catch a horse, added: "When you're having fun, you don't realize it but it's great conditioning and speed training. We ran with them for about

45 minutes every day from grade school through high school. If you can imagine running full speed for that long, you get a good bit of workout in." Eleven years later, Evans points to his horse-chasing and country upbringing as key reasons why he was the Titans' first-round selection and hand-picked future leader of the defense. He says his unique hobby and lifestyle made him faster and tougher. His experiences growing up made him ready for everything the NFL will throw at him. "We're not going to ask you to chase any horses," Titans general manager Jon Robinson joked to the former Alabama linebacker one day after drafting him. Robinson and Titans coach Mike Vrabel visited Alabama's pro day in March to scout Evans and several other Alabama prospects. In a group of alpha males, former five-star high school recruits and future NFL stars, Evans clearly stood out. "You could see his leadership in the room, the command that he had in that room," Robinson said. "He kind of had an old-soul feel about him." The old-soul reference made Evans laugh. It isn't new. He's heard it his whole life, whether in reference to his determined approach to football or jokes about him being a bald 21year-old man. He's just glad Robinson loves him for who he is. "I am an old soul, that describes me well. A lot of people say I'm ahead of the curve in my generation. That's how I was raised up in the country," Evans said. "My mom was constantly harping on making sure you do the right thing, make sure you're respectful, make sure you clean up the bed. She believed that translated in life. It paid off." Vrabel believes Evans can become one of the Titans' leaders, even as a rookie. Robinson drafted Evans to be a core piece of a championship team. There is a long list of star Alabama linebackers who have set a standard of physicality and NFL

success. Expectations are huge for this country kid who loved to chase horses, but he appears unfazed. "I must accept that challenge. The head of the organization is looking at me to be the guy to tell everybody else what they have to do. It's a big responsibility because you have to be doing right, too," said Evans. "You have to earn your teammates' trust. You have to live a certain standard. It's not for everybody. But I embrace it." It won't be the first time Evans is presented with a big challenge at the start of a new journey. Four years ago, Evans chose to attend college at Alabama, snubbing Auburn on signing day, which shocked his community and left his family's business threatened and created plenty of trouble for them.

Rashaan Evans ✔ @616evans4 All I did was commit to a university to get my education and pursue my dreams but a whole city gone try and treat me like I'm satan #Really

Going to Auburn was an Evans expectation. His father, Alan, was a star running back at Auburn. His mom, Chenavis, received four degrees from Auburn, including her doctorate. His older sister was an Auburn cheerleader. His uncle is a vice president at Auburn. His cousins all went to Auburn. "We just have an Auburn family. We went to Auburn High. We lived in Auburn our whole lives," said Alex, who chose to follow his brother and run track at Alabama. "To switch from Auburn to Alabama was a big shocker to the community and our family. We made the best of it. The cream always rises to the top." Rashaan didn't take the easy way. He picked what was best for him -Alabama. He took the process slow, went through every possible outcome and accepted all the

RASHAAN EVANS negative reaction in stride. He says how he handled that difficult situation is one of the proudest moments of his life. "Everything ain't fruit and berries. You gotta work for everything you get," Evans said. "You're going to have to make some big-man decisions, life-changing decisions. That was one of my first ones. I felt like, 'I'm a man now.'" Now he's the newest, important man in Tennessee. So important that he'll be chasing quarterbacks and running backs, not horses, now. ###

RASHAAN EVANS TITANS TEAMMATES KEVIN BYARD, RASHAAN EVANS SEE REASONS FOR HOPE IN SEARCH FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS JUNE 11, 2020 NASHVILLE – The death of George Floyd will always be painful to watch. It's equally sickening.

and

Unfortunately, similar scenes have played out too many times over the years. This time, the hope is it will lead to change, and those pushing for it include Titans safety Kevin Byard, linebacker Rashaan Evans, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who all spoke on the subjects of police brutality and social injustice during a Zoom conference call on Wednesday. "I've watched police brutality and I've watched guys being killed on TV, if it's black or whatever, for a long time," Byard said. "I don't really like to watch it. I don't like to see that coming down on my timeline. I try to stay away from it as much as possible. But at the end of the day you can't help it when you put the TV on and see different things. At the end of the day, my heart goes out to everyone, my heart goes out to all the victims and the families. I just hope and pray that one day while I'm raising my daughter, and I have the conversation with her about police brutality or just growing up being black in America, that conversation is a lot better than what it is right now."

time to get to where we need to be with justice and equality."

Floyd's death has led to more conversations across the world, and awareness, and a lot of that is happening through protests.

In time, Byard hopes the world will be a better place.

"It's globally that people are bringing awareness to something like this," Evans said. "You're talking about not just in the United States, you're talking about in Germany, Italy. … Watching on my TV screen, I saw many people many cultures, many colors, literally come together for one cause. I thought that was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. I've never seen this many people take this matter and take it in their own to really be able to bring awareness about it. "To have that many people take that to heart and be able to protest about that, I think it's a big step to just in the future, just in general with the world. I feel like people now are starting to be more and more gentle with each other. I feel like we definitely need to be more gentle with each other with the things that we say and how we treat each other." Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said last week he's had a number of conversations with players in the wake of Floyd's death. Tannehill said he's tried to educate himself over the years so he would have a better understanding of what his black teammates have experienced and he said "it's really shocking what guys have been through." Rashaan Evans: I am Ready to Play, Ready to Go "We're dealing with a big issue right now that has plagued our country for a long, long time," Tannehill said. "Some really good conversations are going on right now, and I think the progress our country is making is headed in the right direction slowly but there's still a long, long way to go. This is not a short-lived awareness thing -- it is something that is going to have to go on a long

"I'm happy that the awareness and the stuff that is going on around the country right now today is happening," Byard said. "I honestly feel like we're in a monumental time in our history just with the level of consciousness, and everybody not necessarily waking up, but just understanding that like I said all lives matter and different things like that. I would just say that for anybody that's trying to understand what black people are going through or trying to figure out what they can do in this situation is just have empathy. Have empathy as human beings to understand that everybody goes through struggles, not just black people, everybody goes through struggles. Just understand to be more empathetic and be more humane. "Everybody's lives should mean equally as everybody else's no matter what your skin color is, what you look like, no matter what. That's definitely how I feel about that. I support everybody peacefully protesting all racial injustice all around the world, police brutality, social injustice, systemic racism, everything. That's kind of how I feel about that." ###

FORMER ALABAMA LINEBACKER DONATES GEAR TO LOACHAPOKA HIGH SCHOOL BY HAILEY SUTTON WSFA 12 NEWS AUGUST 16, 2020 LOACHAPOKA, Ala. (WSFA) “When you go to sleep at night, if your dreams are not big enough to where you just want to jump out of your bed in the middle of the night, they’re not big enough.” That was the message shared with the Loachapoka football team Friday morning as they gathered outside for a “special surprise. Thanks to Tennessee Titans linebacker Rashaan Evans, the program feels like they are a little bit closer to achieving those dreams. “Today was a great day,” said Loachapoka head coach Frederick Newton. “To see my kids smile the way they did, especially during this pandemic and what’s going on, it just brings my heart up.” The Indians were gifted two different pairs of cleats to wear during games this season, along with gloves and other important equipment. Evans and his foundation, the Razor Foundation, donated more than $40,000 worth of equipment to the players, a gift that some of them have never received. “Nobody has every given us nothing like this before, so it feels good to get something for the community,” said senior linebacker and running back Brandon Bedgood. “Me and my teammates - some of us have never had stuff like this, so it feels good to get this stuff.” For them to come out and do that for us when they didn’t have to, it was just great to see that,” added Newton. “If you saw those kids over there looking at the shoes and everything, like I told someone earlier, it’s like Christmas in August.”

RASHAAN EVANS Rashaan was unable to be at the high school because of coronavirus restrictions, but even 280 miles away, he was still overwhelmed at the impact his donation made. “It means everything. That’s the biggest thing about doing what I do and the things that I live by, is trying to inspire as many people as I come across, and change as many lives as I can,” said Rashaan. “I can only being in that situation where some of these guys have nothing. They have no shirt on their own backs, so to be able to have the opportunity to give shoes and some of the other gear, it definitely was a good thing for me to do.” His father, Alan, who helps out with the Razor Foundation echoed those sentiments; and is proud that his son is finding ways to make an impact in local communities. “Him having the opportunity to play in the NFL, and make the kind of money he makes, and then to be able to give back some of what he has earned, it makes me feel good as a father because he could be doing a lot of other things with his money,” said Alan. “He could be buying a Ferrari, or he could be doing something else with it, but he decided he wanted to give a portion of the proceeds of his earnings back to the community.” “I think it was a beautiful thing from some of the pictures I’ve seen, which really made me feel good because at the end of the day, you play football, you get all these accolades and achievements, but the number one thing is what have you done at the end of the day for other people, and I feel like this opportunity is one that was given to me, especially to do it for some kids and a community who needed it,” added Rashaan. No matter how uncertain the 2020 football season is, the Evans family hopes their donation will inspire more players to have their dreams keep them up at night.

“It motivates me a lot because we play the same position, so I feel like if he can do it, I can do it, too if I put in the same work,” said Bedgood. “To see [The Evans family], hopefully when I go in and speak to [the team] about what this meant to us, and get their opinion on what this meant to them, this hopefully will open up dreaming to them also,” said Newton. “So they can be the next Rashaan Evans.” The Razor Foundation also donated gear to the Loachapoka boys and girls basketball teams last November. ###

CALEB FARLEY DOUBT TENNESSEE TITANS' CALEB FARLEY AT YOUR OWN RISK. HIS MOTIVATION COMES FROM LATE MOTHER BY GEORGE ROBINSON THE TENNESSEAN APRIL 30, 2021 It doesn't take long to realize the kind of player the Tennessee Titans selected with the 22nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday. Caleb Farley isn't interested in talking about the injuries he has suffered, including his two back surgeries and a knee injury before college. His recent positive COVID19 test result is of no mind, and his decision to opt out of the 2020 college football season at Virginia Tech has already been discussed ad nauseam. Farley is a Titan. And that's enough for him. Would have been enough for his late mother, too. "I was telling my mother I was going to be a first-round draft pick when I was like 7 years old," he said. "I hope she's smiling down on me from the sky." Any physical obstacles Farley has faced through football pale in comparison to the loss of his mother, Robin, to breast cancer in 2018. The memories of conversations he had with her as a child are still fresh, and his thoughts drifted to her when the Hickory, North Carolina, native heard his name called Thursday. "She always believed in me," he said. Robin was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and endured two years of chemotherapy and radiation. For a while it looked like she had beaten the disease. But the cancer returned aggressively and invaded her bones.

"After some time it started to wear on her," Caleb's father, Robert Farley, told The Tennessean. "I think Caleb accepted what happened because he knew that his mother had faithfully lived the life she wanted to live. She didn't die in regret." Robin died without seeing her son play college football. She attended every game from the time he began playing little league at 7 through his high school career at Maiden High School in North Carolina, where he starred as a quarterback. Caleb tore the ACL and MCL ligaments in one of his knees prior to arriving at Virginia Tech in 2017. He took a redshirt his first year on campus, and was moved to wide receiver. Months later, in January 2018, Robin died with her family, including Caleb, by her side. "He never once thought about not playing football after his mother's death," Robert said. "He's always been committed to it. His mom encouraged that commitment. I mean it was difficult on all of us and it took some time to adjust but Caleb pours himself into football. He loves it that much." Football is Caleb's love, but family has been the foundation. It's the reason why he decided to opt out last fall despite coming off a 2019 year in which he led the ACC in passes defended (16) and finished with four interceptions as a converted cornerback. It was a risky move. He was the first high-profile college football player to make that decision, and some questioned whether it would hurt his rising draft stock. "Yeah, it's just frustrating," Farley said about having to answer questions about his health. "It gets to the point where you want a team to draft you, that believes in you, and if you don't believe in me, then play against me."

"Caleb opted out because of his concern with COVID," Robert said. "It was as simple as that. It had nothing to do with his injuries. He wasn't hurt. You have to understand, we were still learning about the short- and long-term effects of this virus. He didn't want to risk his health or possibly the health of his family members." Virginia defensive back Caleb Farley, right, intercepts a pass intended for Miami wide receiver Dee Wiggins during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019, in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) Caleb maintained a strength and conditioning schedule last fall. Despite not seeing the field in 2020, his instincts and ability in man coverage were enough to convince NFL scouts. The Titans felt his 6foot-2, 207-pound frame and athletic skillset at cornerback — a position of need — were too good to pass up. "He's long and I think (man coverage) is something they did a lot of at Virginia Tech," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. "Those guys were manned up outside without a whole lot of help. He's coming from a very aggressive scheme that puts a lot of pressure on those guys on the outside." Farley was invited to attend the draft in Cleveland on Thursday, but a positive COVID-19 test result earlier in the week prevented him from attending. Farley was tested again Thursday and that result came back negative, he said. But the questions about his health remain. And so will the memories of his late mother, and the motivation she gave him to overcome any obstacles en route to the NFL. "When coach called me to tell me I was going to be a Tennessee Titans, the first thing out of my mouth was 'When can I get the playbook?'," Caleb said. "I'm extremely excited

CALEB FARLEY to get back on the field and rep these colors." ###

CALEB FARLEY AFTER LOSING HIS MOM TO CANCER, TITANS' CALEB FARLEY LEANED ON FAITH TO HELP REALIZE HIS NFL DREAM BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN.COM MAY 14, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Robert Farley was sitting at a card table playing spades when his phone rang. His son Caleb was on the other end and burst into tears as he began to explain that he just tore the ACL in his knee. Caleb was then a freshman wide receiver at Virginia Tech and thought his playing career was in jeopardy. "OK, it's all right," Robert said, recalling that 2017 conversation. "No, baby, the advancement with medicine and everything they have going now, they'll have you back in no time. You still have your career ahead of you." Robert was right. Caleb, who developed into a top cornerback prospect, was taken by the Tennessee Titans at No. 22 in the 2021 NFL draft. The knee injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Not playing afforded Caleb opportunities to travel back to Maiden, North Carolina, to spend time with his mother, Robin. She was being treated for a second bout with cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer when Caleb was in junior high, but it went into remission after two years of treatment. But the cancer returned and this time it was too much -- Robin died when she was just 53 years old. But what Caleb learned from his mother's struggles with cancer ultimately strengthened his faith and prepared him to deal with his own health challenges that laid ahead before he could realize his NFL dream.

Titans rookie Caleb Farley joined the NFL draft broadcast from his father's home in North Carolina. AP Photo/Tony Dejak According to Robert, his wife never asked why God allowed her, a faithful person, to get sick. Despite the bad days that came from chemotherapy treatments, Robin made sure it wasn't obvious how much she was struggling. Robin's strength and steadfastness to her faith while enduring such a trying fight left an impression on Caleb, underscoring the importance of having a close relationship with God. "I can say that was the start of me maturing in my faith," Caleb said. "I've always been built up in the scriptures and known what you should and shouldn't do. It wasn't as intimate or as pure of a relationship as it could have been. "When I saw my mother go through that and believe that she could be healed and then I saw it come back and kill her, it hurt my faith in the beginning. But I believe you have to serve the Lord when it's good and bad. I made the decision that I was going to trust God. I would be lost without him." Working through the loss of his mother was a test, but Caleb knew his mother would want him to press onward toward his goal of being a professional football player -something he wanted to do since he was little. Like many young kids, Caleb was told his NFL goals weren't realistic. But his mother was always the one telling him he could do whatever he put his mind to doing. "My mother had a crazy belief in me and things that I could do," Caleb said Robert added: "It was all about his little will. He was so determined at such a young age." Caleb was a star quarterback at Maiden High School, passing for

1,776 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushing for 2,574 yards and 37 touchdowns as a senior. But after enrolling at Virginia Tech, he became a wide receiver. Then came the knee injury that ended his freshman season. That will Robert noticed in Caleb at an early age was put to the test when he changed positions again, this time converting to cornerback before the 2018 season. But Caleb quickly found success. He notched two interceptions and a sack against Florida State in his first start at corner. Then in 2019, Caleb established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the country when he posted four interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, along with 12 passes defended. Then adversity struck again. Caleb Farley had four interceptions and 12 passes defensed during 2019 -- his last college season. AP Photo/Lynne Sladky Caleb suffered a herniated L5 disk and bulged S1 joint while doing a deadlift exercise. The injury caused him to miss the final two games of the 2019 season. He had a discectomy performed on the L5 in February 2020 and was advised to let the bulged S1 heal on its own. Next came another curveball: The COVID-19 pandemic, which complicated things even more because of the uncertainty surrounding the college football season. Caleb understood how much another year of experience would bolster his draft stock. Robert thought another season would solidify Caleb as the best corner in the 2021 draft class. "I knew that if he came out of college playing another year, he was going to grow by leaps and bounds," Robert said. "I knew if he played another year, it would be without question that he was something special, something you don't see often."

CALEB FARLEY But Caleb's mind was on his family. Having lost his mother already, he was not about to put his father at risk by exposing him to COVID. He wasn't comfortable with how procedures were being followed at Virginia Tech. In July, he made a decision to opt out of the 2020 season. Here is former Virginia Tech CB Caleb Farley'a announcement that he is opting out of the college football season to train and turn pro, sent to ESPN: pic.twitter.com/5j4FmQvGKy — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 29, 2020 "My faith taught me to be smart and cautious," Caleb said. "I had to identify and target what was disturbing my peace. With everything going on with my living arrangements, I couldn't see me playing being the best decision. I had to be cautious and protect my father." Robert wanted Caleb to play, but understood his reasoning. He didn't want Caleb to carry that weight on his shoulders, so he supported the decision. Caleb was still widely projected to be top-10 draft pick, but adversity found its way back into the picture. The bulged S1 was still causing Caleb discomfort when training for his pro day. He elected to have a microdiscectomy in March, which kept him from being able to perform at his pro day, where he could have showcased his speed and athleticism for NFL personnel executives and scouts. Suddenly a player who was a likely top-10 pick was projected to go in the latter half of the first round. But Caleb remained positive and maintained his faith that everything would work out. This was what all of the other obstacles he faced prepared him for. "For him to have endured that and went through that adversity, there

could not have been any bigger adversity that he could have faced," Robert said. "He faced that and moved past it. The rest of it is just small matters." But there was one more twist in store for Caleb: The NFL invited him to Cleveland for the draft, but he was unable to attend when he tested positive for COVID. pic.twitter.com/TCLWNde6lx — Caleb � (@IamCalebFarley) April 28, 2021 Instead of traveling to Cleveland to celebrate, the Farleys spent the day at Robert's home. Caleb tested negative the morning of the draft, but the family celebrated in separate rooms to be safe. Caleb was in his father's living room by himself while everyone else was in the garage. Caleb says he views what happened to him over the past year as a chance to prove his faith and not take anything for granted. "This whole situation has been eyeopening," Caleb said. "I've gotten closer to my family and to God. I am just thankful to wake up every day and breathe air and still have football and carry out my dreams." He remains confident he will be ready to play when the Titans report for training camp and says he's felt great since the day he had the surgery in March. Caleb laughed as he reflected on how he woke up from surgery and walked out a day later to jump on a flight from Los Angeles to Virginia to attend the Hokies' pro day. Caleb knows that in due time he will fulfill his dream of being an NFL player with his mother proudly looking down from above. He is dedicating this season to his mother. Added Caleb, "If she were here, I would be talking trash to her about what I'm about to do to everybody and she'd be telling me, 'Yeah, baby, that's what you're going to do.'"

FARLEY HONORS GRANDMOTHER WITH EXTRAVAGANT GIFT BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM JULY 10, 2021 Caleb Farley brought his grandmother to tears Saturday. The Tennessee Titans’ first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft made what he said was one of his “childhood dreams” come true when he presented her with a car. Farley surprised her with the SUV that was parked in front of her house with a bow on top and a sign in front that read “Love You Granny Coco.” Another sign said “Faith” and included a cross. “Keep checking off these childhood dreams,” Farley wrote on Instagram, where he posted a photo and a video of the moment. “My (grandma) kept me covered in prayer since a baby! Love my family, she about made me cry.” Tears did fill his grandmother’s eyes as she hugged Farley and offered praise to God. Farley was dressed in a Titans T-shirt and cap. The 22nd overall selection in this year’s draft, Farley signed a fouryear, $13.495 million contract in May. The deal, which is fully guaranteed, included a signing bonus of just less than $7.2 million. The cornerback out of Virginia Tech has not played football since 2019. He opted out of the 2020 college football season to prepare for the draft and underwent two back surgeries in less than a year, which created questions about whether he will be ready for the start of training camp and/or the regular season and caused him to drop down the draft board. He did not participate in practices during last month’s organized team activities (OTAs) and mandatory minicamp but has maintained his belief that he will be a contributor this season.

CALEB FARLEY “For me, I leaned on my faith, which was extremely helpful to me,” Farley said on draft day. “I trust in God. I trust in Jesus Christ. Lord willing, I knew I was going to be playing football this year.” ###

ANTHONY FIRKSER TITANS TE ANTHONY FIRKSER EARNED A PARKING SPOT NEXT TO TITANS HC MIKE VRABEL'S TRUCK, BUT IS THAT REALLY A GOOD THING?

"(But) I don't think that I did anything extraordinary than any of the other guys who were working out this offseason," Firkser said. "Everyone was here, trying to help the team. But I was thankful for the award."

BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS JULY 30, 2021

Coming off a year when he caught 39 passes for 387 yards and a touchdown in 2020, Firkser is in line to play a bigger role for the Titans this fall in his fifth NFL season.

NASHVILLE – Titans tight end Anthony Firkser was awarded for his work during the offseason, named one of the team's top performers by head coach Mike Vrabel. It came with a prime parking spot in the new parking garage at Saint Thomas Sports Park. The good news is Firkser's parking spot is right next to Vrabel's white Nissan Titan truck. The bad news is Firkser's parking spot is right next to Vrabel's white Nissan Titan truck. Vrabel, of course, now knows Firkser's schedule especially well.

Safety Kevin Byard, for one, believes Firkser is in a prime spot. "Firkser, he's a top-flight tight end in my opinion," Byard said on Friday. "I went against Delanie (Walker) my first couple of years, and then Jonnu (Smith) as well. I would definitely put Firkser right up there. Honestly, the dynamics of our offense right now, where you have Julio (Jones) and A.J. (Brown) and you have Derrick (Henry) – that is the main focal points.

God forbid Firkser put a ding on the head coach's vehicle. Rumor has it the passenger side wheels on Vrabel's truck were over the white line, and in Firkser's space, on Day 1 of training camp. Make no mistake: This tidbit didn't come from Firkser.

Firkser said on Friday he's added roughly five pounds to his 6-foot-2 frame, which puts him right around 250 pounds. He feels stronger, and he believes the added bulk will help him.

"That's a little nerve-wracking," Firkser said, smiling. "I have to stay away from his (truck)."

Firkser, who played collegiately at Harvard, said he wants to be a bigger asset in the run game, so the extra size will help with his blocking. But he also wants to stay fast and keep his agility, which will help him as a receiving threat.

Firkser, for the record, said he was happy to be recognized alongside teammates Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Teair Tart and Larrell Murchison for the annual offseason award.

"I am just trying to see where I fit in this offense and see where I can add value." ###

In training camp, Firkser and fellow veteran Geoff Swaim are the leaders of the tight end group.

"Working in the middle of the field, I think Firk is going to have a year. I am not making any predictions or anything he is going to do, but I am excited about what he is going to be able to do this year. I worked out a few times with him (this offseason), so I know the time he is putting in. I know he is super-excited to have the opportunity he is having this year with Jonnu departing."

"I guess that's true," Firkser said after practice on Friday when reminded of the potential downside. "I have to try and get here before him, and leave after him, and that might be hard."

"Just take advantage of the opportunities, and make sure every play you are doing your job and excelling at your job," he said. "You want to show you want to work hard and have effort and finish, which is what Vrabel stresses.

His plan in training camp, and this season, is simple.

ANTHONY FIRKSER TITANS TE ANTHONY FIRKSER TEACHES SKILLS, LIFE LESSONS AT FOOTBALL CAMP FOR KIDS BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS JUNE 14, 2021 NASHVILLE – Tight end Anthony Firkser worked to established himself in Nashville, with the Titans. On Sunday, Firkser gave back to the community with his first football camp for kids. Roughly 80 campers, ages 7-16, showed up at D1 in Franklin to learn from Firkser and a good number of his teammates. "Just being with the Titans for three years now, going on my fourth, I've spent some time here," Firkser said. "And I thought it was a good opportunity to let the (campers) meet me and a bunch of my teammates. It's a chance to show them we're just like them, and give them some guys to look up to. "My main goal is to explain to them that I was in the same position as they were, loving sports growing up, and doing whatever it takes to be on team. I wanted to tell them ways to push themselves through challenges, and be able to reach your dreams at the end of it. Just be able to give them a visual of a person they can relate to and see themselves there one day if they have that dream." Firkser, a native of Manalapan, New Jersey, who played in college at Harvard, joined the Titans during the 2018 offseason after spending time previously with the Jets and Chiefs. Firkser caught 39 passes for 387 yards and a touchdown in 2020. In addition to Firkser, quarterback Logan Woodside, fullback Khari Blasingame, receiver Josh Reynolds, tight end Tommy Hudson, tight end Miller Forristall, receiver Mason Kinsey, and

cornerback Elijah Molden all took part as coaches. All proceeds for the camp went to Caring Hearts, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps families in need in Nashville and Mexico. "I think it went really well," Firkser said of the camp. "I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of teammates come out and volunteer with the kids, and it was a fun experience for all of them. To use football as an opportunity to bring everyone together, it's great. It's a way to give back to the fan base, which has been important in my growth." ###

KRISTIAN FULTON TITANS CORNERBACK KRISTIAN FULTON FULFILLS NFL DREAM JUST 2 WEEKS AFTER GRANDFATHER DIES DUE TO COVID-19 BY ERIK BACHARACH THE TENNESSEAN APRIL 25, 2020 Kristian Fulton was surrounded by family at his New Orleans home Friday night when he finally heard his name called in the 2020 NFL Draft. One of his biggest fans, though, was missing as the Titans selected the former LSU cornerback in the second round. Louis Fulton Jr., Fulton’s grandfather, died two weeks ago because of COVID-19. So while Fulton saw his NFL dreams come to fruition Friday, it wasn’t easy. “Definitely was (difficult),” Fulton said on a conference call with reporters after being drafted. “There’s a lot going on right now, just dealing with everything that’s going on. "It’s crazy. I had just talked to him a few days before and he was telling me how he was still watching some of my old games that was coming on TV, and he was always watching and was always excited just to see me succeed. It definitely was tough for me." Fulton, a 6-foot, 197-pounder, gives the Titans secondary a much-needed jolt. Known for his penchant for disrupting passes, the sticky cornerback was a second-team AllSEC performer in 2019. He had a red flag on his resume — Fulton was suspended for the 2017 season after tampering with an NCAA drug test — but a thorough vetting process left the Titans with no doubt that he had matured from the experience and was a high-character prospect. Titans general manager Jon Robinson said he felt fortunate that Fulton was still available when the

Titans were on the clock with the 61st overall pick. When the Titans finally swiped him off the draft board, Fulton said he felt his grandfather's support. "I know he was looking tonight and he’s going to be with me along the way," Fulton said. "Me and my family, we’re getting through, it’s tough getting through it." ###

KRISTIAN FULTON FOOTBALL FASHION AND FOOTWEAR HOW TITANS KRISTIAN FULTON BUILT A BRAND IN NASHVILLE BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN JULY 16, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Although Tennessee Titans defensive back Kristian Fulton is entering his second season in the NFL, he is facing a different kind of rookie season this year. Kristian, 22, and his older brother Keith, 25, recently opened an urban wear boutique in Nashville called The Trenches. "We came up with ideas and our goals, so when we had the opportunity we could make something happen. Once I knew I was going to the NFL and got the chance to make some money, that's really when it started to come about," Kristian said. Kristian was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft (61st overall) and signed his four-year, $5.3 million rookie contract soon after. He played sporadically as a rookie, but finished with an interception and a sack. His season was limited due to a knee injury and being placed in COVID-19 protocol. He figures to be a key part of the secondary this season at right corner and as the nickel corner. Kristian was destined to play in the NFL from his days at Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie, Louisiana, where he was named New Orleans Defensive Player of the Year as a junior. The Fulton brothers played on the same high school team and shared dreams of playing in the pros. "I expected to play football when I was younger. We played on the same high school team and won two championships. I played running back in college at four schools, chasing the dream of getting to that next level," Keith said. Keith started with a scholarship to Mississippi College. He transferred

to Southeastern Louisiana, then to Grossmont College before finishing his final two years at LSU. While at LSU, as it became clear his NFL dreams wouldn't be realized, Keith made the decision to shift his focus to the management side of sports. He also developed a love for art, which would eventually grow into an idea for the layout of the boutique. Keith was intrigued by the prices he saw collectors paying for art. Being from New Orleans, a place where artists abound, made his interest even stronger. Now that interest is on display, by way of the featured artists whose works rotate on a monthly basis inside the boutique. The decision to showcase artists offered the opportunity to become an investor while helping those who might otherwise not have a chance to sell their paintings. "I see a lot of galleries here in Nashville, but not everyone is able to get into them. I thought it would be cool to showcase local artists and Black artists around the country. It was cool to give them a shot to sell their product," Keith said. The Trenches features a unique blend of fashion, footwear and art. "It all comes together. Clothes, music, art, it's layered," Keith added. "We tied it all together into one." "There were a lot of [local brands] that we thought could do it big if they had the opportunity. Now, we want to give them a chance," says Kristian Fulton. Felice Brightman II Their mother, Michelle Fulton, had similar business aspirations and is happy to see her sons make it a reality. "I tell them how proud I am of them, because back when I was in college, my dream was to own my own business. A dream of mine has become a dream come true for them and it makes my heart full."

None of the clothing brands in The Trenches are mainstream names. Instead, the boutique features rising designers from New Orleans and other cities across the country. "Everybody falls into the trend of high-end luxury brands. Growing up, we couldn't afford that, so we supported the local brands. There were a lot of them that we thought could do it big if they had the opportunity. Now, we want to give them a chance," Kristian noted. There are typically four or five different brands featured in the store on a rolling basis. Kristian mentioned the "Fulton Kounty" clothing line as one of his favorites. "That's a smooth design to come up with. Fulton Kounty, that's like a jail. That's how I'm going to lock everybody up," Kristian said, referring to his coverage skills on the football field. The sneakers make up another part of the boutique's unique formula; the Fulton brothers didn't always have access to the latest and greatest sneaker releases. Keith recalled a time when he wanted to get the LeBron James Galaxy 9 sneakers, but couldn't get his hands on them. "That's really the main thing. Giving other people the opportunity to have the chance to get some kicks they might not be able to get at the main stores," Kristian said. According to Keith, it's really difficult to get a hold of new sneaker releases because of hoarders who buy up the supply. But the connections that he has developed and the doors that have opened because Kristian is an NFL player help the brothers get access to rare sneakers, like Nike's Kobe Mambas, various Jordans and more. When it comes to the Fulton brothers' passion for shoes, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. "I am a shoe fanatic," Michelle said, "I start with the shoes and then I'll find the clothes to match. In their late-high-school to early college

KRISTIAN FULTON days, I began to notice their style take shape. It started with lots of different style tennis shoes. I'd tell them they reminded me of myself. I'd say to them, 'You are definitely my child,' because when they pack for a trip they have a separate suitcase for their shoes." The Trenches isn't just a boutique for the Fulton brothers. It's a way to connect to the community. As Kristian's business manager, Keith traveled to Nashville right after Kristian was selected in the draft, so he could network. "I was thinking of different ways where he [Kristian] could introduce himself to the community in Nashville as a businessman, not just an athlete. I thought about the idea as a way that we can give back to the community," Keith said. "There's a lot of intimate but also familyoriented spots in New Orleans that we would go hang out at. There weren't too many places that had those spots that we are used to. We wanted to bring that here." They've been able to bring the New Orleans vibe to Nashville through free seafood boils and other events that were hosted at the boutique, which is located on historic Buchanan Street in North Nashville. The location is not a coincidence. They initially looked at storefronts downtown near the Broadway strip, only to find that they were too expensive. That's when Keith turned his attention to Buchanan Street. "It's been a very popular area in the Black community in Nashville. We learned that quickly when we got here with the Black-owned businesses they have. We felt like it was the perfect location for us to keep it in the trenches, close to the community," Keith said. The Fulton brothers' passions for fashion and art come through in the store's selection and layout. Felice Brightman II The storefront sits directly on Buchanan Street next to a thriving

Black-owned kitchen and lounge, and across the street from a flourishing Black-owned pizza shop. Naming the boutique "The Trenches" goes perfectly with the culture they came from. "We feel like everybody is either actually from the trenches or they want to be from the trenches. It's a popular thing in our generation coming up. That's how we gravitated to the name. It's relatable," Kristian said. For Kristian, a big part of being relatable is actually being present in the store. He wants his customers to have access to him to talk about fashion, football, footwear or anything else that will help provide a unique shopping experience. Opening The Trenches wasn't easy, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Despite being a sports management major at LSU, Keith didn't have any business experience. He had to rely on his research and some help from mentors. They opened the boutique on Saturday, March 20 of this year only to close the following Wednesday because they sold all of their products. Now the shelves are always stocked and the boutique is prospering. "Our saying is, 'The real always prevail.' There was a lot that we went through and there's a lot that people go through, too," Keith explained. "I feel like everybody -well, most people -- can feel our story, where we came from and what we are trying to do. For us to make it out, we want to inspire everybody." ###

DERRICK HENRY DERRICK HENRY REWARDS TITANS' OFFENSIVE LINEMEN FOR 2,000-YARD SEASON WITH SPECIAL GIFT BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN.COM MARCH 16, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry last season became the eighth player in NFL history to reach the 2,000yard mark, finishing with 2,027 yards -- the fifth-highest total. While Henry's feat has been recognized -- winning the 2021 Offensive Player of the Year award -- the fifth-year running back won't hesitate to give credit to his offensive line. That's why King Henry gave each offensive lineman a gold rope chain with a medallion that includes a crown at the top along with "2K" in diamonds. The medallion also has each player's name engraved on the back with Henry's rushing total. The jewelry is the latest in a line of gestures Henry has made to show his appreciation for the guys up front. Henry gifted each of his offensive linemen a Rolex of their choice after they helped him clinch the NFL's rushing title in 2019. Then, Henry made sure they were taken care of at Christmas when he had arcade-style Pac-Man games sent to each lineman. In Henry's mind, it's only right to take care of his linemen because they take care of him. "Like we always say, block longer than the guy with the ball, and those guys did a great job. I just had to go out there and do my job and those guys are physical," Henry said of the offensive linemen after rushing for 250 yards in the regular-season finale against the Houston Texans. "Those guys are tight. They stick together. They help one another. They communicate. They work hard. They want to be great each and

every day. I wouldn't want nobody else blocking for me but the guys up front. I couldn't do it without them." ###

DERRICK HENRY DERRICK HENRY BECOMES TITANS SECOND 2,000-YARD RUSHER THE TITANS RUNNING BACK BECOMES THE EIGHTH PLAYER IN NFL HISTORY TO REACH THE MILESTONE. BY MICHAEL HOGAN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED JANUARY 3, 2021 A few weeks ago, a 2,000-yard season was just a possibility for Derrick Henry. In fact, he was a little behind pace. But for the Tennessee Titans running back, nothing should come as a surprise. Certainly not another massive performance against a team he has dominated in recent seasons, the Houston Texans. To become the eighth player in league history to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a single season Sunday, Henry needed 223 yards. And he got every last one of them and then some. Henry entered one of the most exclusive clubs in football and all of sports, the 2,000-yard club, with a six-yard run on his 28th carry of the contest. It came with 7:46 to play. Henry finished with 250 yards on 34 carries (both career-highs) as the Titans outlasted the Texans 41-38 to finish first in the AFC South for the first time since 2008. His final total of 2,027 yards is the fifth-highest single-season total in NFL history. “I am very thankful for those guys [on the offensive line],” Henry said. “I told those guys in the locker room, every single one of them, how thankful I was for them. I wouldn’t want anybody else blocking for me. I couldn’t do it without them.” Henry makes the Titans the first NFL franchise to have two 2,000yard rushers. Chris Johnson earned his ‘CJ2K’ nickname when he rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009.

Johnson gave his reaction on Twitter, saying “2 2k’s!!!! The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner at Alabama becomes the first running back to reach the milestone since Adrian Peterson did it with the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. “I keep saying it’s a really cool moment, a really cool thing,” right tackle Dennis Kelly said. “That’s something when you’re older, when you’re done playing, you’re able to talk to your kids, that’s something you can look back and be like, ‘I did that.’ Instantly, there’s this bond that we all accomplished this together. “It’s going to be pretty impossible to forget.” From the start of Sunday’s contest, the two-time rushing champion had the looks of a man on a mission. Henry had more than 100 yards rushing by halftime, including a 52yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He added a six-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He surpassed 200 rushing yards for the game on the Titans’ second offensive series of the third quarter. At the start of the fourth quarter, he was 18 yards away from 2,000. Henry said that he knew somebody had been keeping track of his progress toward 2,000 yards throughout the game. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who had the greatest statistical season of any Titans quarterback, said he didn’t have much of a clue about how close Henry was getting. He is happy to have been a part of it, though. “I enjoy, like I said, every opportunity I get to go out and play on Sundays or Saturdays,” Tannehill said of the day. “You know, it's something that when you go through what I went through over the past couple years, you appreciate it a little bit more. So, to be able to get into the playoffs for a second time, win the division, it's definitely a moment I'll look back on and really appreciate.”

In the process of gaining the final yards to reach 2,000, Henry had one mistake that clearly did just enough to bother him to the point where he was not all smiles after a massive performance in a memorable victory. He lost his second fumble of the season late in the third quarter -- a rare mishap from a player who almost never coughs up the football. The Texans scored a touchdown plays to close the Titans’ lead to three, 31-28. “You know, after rushing 2,000 yards, but I'm serious, right now I'm just pissed off at myself for the mishaps that I had,” he said. While Henry wouldn’t acknowledge much about his season, it has been historic. He is the 10th player since 1953 to be the league’s rushing champion in consecutive seasons, and the other nine are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Four of the previous 2,000-yard rushers also have a spot in Canton, Ohio. In leading the league this season, Henry had seven 100-yard performances and three others with more than 200 yards. He is the first player to have three 200-yard rushing performances in a season since 2016 and fifth overall since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Only a handful of running backs have had one 200-yard rushing game since 2018. Henry now has five career 200-yard rushing performances, and three of them have come in his last three games against Houston. He is the first player in league history to have that many against a single opponent. A player who notoriously takes zero credit for his accolades and commends his teammates for just about everything he accomplishes, Henry might as well start writing his Hall of Fame speech. He will have a lot of people to thank.

DERRICK HENRY “I'm just thankful for my teammates,” he said. “Thankful for all of them, you know, week in and week out, you know, them doing their job. Just the unselfishness that they have for my success, I'm very thankful.” But for now, reflection is something that will have to wait until this season is actually over. “Regardless of if I got it, I did it or I didn't,” he said. “I wasn't pressing for it. I just wanted to be able to win the game as a team and make it to the playoffs in the division.” ###

DERRICK HENRY TITANS RB DERRICK HENRY DONATES $10,000 TO NASHVILLE FIREFIGHTER WHO LOST HOME IN FIRE BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MARCH 1, 2021 NASHVILLE – His 2020 season over, Derrick Henry was in already offseason workout mode a few weeks back, preparing for what's ahead. But the Titans running back stopped in his tracks when he saw a heartbreaking story on his Twitter feed, and he wanted to do something to help. The beneficiary: Nashville firefighter Jeremy Taylor, a Titans season ticket member and father of four daughters who lost his new home to a large fire recently. Taylor was surprised at his fire station last week with $15,000 donation -- $10,000 from Henry's 'Two All' Foundation, along with a $5,000 contribution from Campbell's Chunky Soup. The good deed was prompted by Henry, who took a screenshot of the Twitter post on the story and asked a member of the Titans organization how he could help. "I saw the tweet and I was just touched by it, losing a home is such a tragic occurrence," Henry said. "Not only did I see the tweet but I saw that he was a Titans fan and also a first responder. Nashville has been through so much as a community – the tornado, the pandemic going on, and then the Christmas bombing. I just wanted to be able to help someone in need and someone who has been helping everyone else throughout this pandemic." Taylor and his family were not in their new home at the time of the early morning explosion and fire on January 30, but they'd moved all their belonging into the White Bluff residence and were preparing to

move in after finishing a checklist at the home they'd recently sold. Taylor, his wife Lauren and their daughters, ages 13, 12, 11, and 8, lost everything in the fire. "I thank God we weren't home, and nobody got hurt," Taylor said. Taylor said it's been an emotional time. He's been buoyed by the support of friends, and fellow firefighters. Then came the act of kindness from Henry, and Campbell's. When Taylor got to work last Wednesday, he got a big surprise. After watching a video message from Henry, who explained why he wanted to help, Taylor also received a signed No.22 jersey from the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2020. Titans cheerleaders and others from the organization were on hand for the check presentation. "I am blessed, very blessed," Taylor said. "(This) has definitely been a blessing to my family. I am very overwhelmed. I don't know what to say." Henry said he was more than willing to help. "I was just touched by what I had seen about Jeremy and his family on Twitter, and just wanted to do anything I could to help them," Henry said. "I'm very thankful to be able to have Campbell's come in as well to try to help Jeremy and his family. Just touched by his family and wanted to help Jeremy in his own time of need." ###

DERRICK HENRY TITANS’ DERRICK HENRY HONORS VICTIMS OF RACIAL INJUSTICE BY WEARING THEIR NAMES ON HIS SUIT BY ERIK BACHARACH THE TENNESSEAN SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 Derrick Henry continues to raise the bar with his travel attire, but his outfit this time was much more than a fashion statement. Henry on Sunday honored victims of racial injustice by wearing their names on his suit. As the Titans arrived in Denver ahead of TitansBroncos on "Monday Night Football" (9:20 p.m., ESPN), Henry exited the team plane wearing the suit. The Titans posted photos of it on their official Twitter handle with the caption: "It takes all of us." Henry led the league in rushing last season with 1,540 yards and was a first-time Pro Bowler. In July, the team re-signed him to a four-year, $50 million deal. The Titans were one of a handful of NFL teams to cancel practice on Aug. 27 in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which occurred a few days earlier. Titans' Derrick Henry wears a suit honoring victims of racial injustice by wearing their names on his suit as he arrives for the team’s first game against the Denver Broncos. It remains to be seen whether Titans players will peacefully protest during Monday night's national anthem, as several NFL players around the league did Sunday. Titans coach Mike Vrabel said that any protests would come as a decision by his players. Defensive lineman and team captain DaQuan Jones said Friday that the team was still discussing what they might do ahead of Monday night's kickoff. "I think our players will do what they feel comfortable doing, and we will support that," Vrabel said on

Friday. "We always have those conversations. It's about respect and it's about listening. ###

AMANI HOOKER BYARD SAYS HOOKER HAS FOLLOWED PROPER PATH TO LEADERSHIP BY MICHAEL HOGAN SI.COM JUNE 3, 2021 Amani Hooker figures to make a bigger impact in more than one way this season. First, the Tennessee Titans safety figures to be a full-time starter for the first time in his career after the team released veteran Kenny Vaccaro as part of a secondary overhaul in March. He also hopes to be more of a leader for the defensive unit. And nobody knows how to properly establish leadership than the man he will be playing beside in the defensive backfield this season, Kevin Byard, who has been a team captain in each of the past two seasons. In order to become a good leader, Byard said, one must first be a good follower. And Hooker has done that well over his first two NFL seasons. “I think Amani has been a great follower since he’s been here,” Byard said. “Watching me and (Vaccaro), or just watching any of the veteran guys and learning from them, learning how to be a pro.” A third-round pick out of Middle Tennessee State in 2016, that’s exactly how Byard became one of the Titans’ most prominent voices in the locker room, for both on and offfield matters. The Pro Bowler and All-Pro observed and learned from the likes of defensive back Jason McCourty and linebacker Brian Orapko. Not only would Byard listen to what veterans had to say on a daily basis, but he paid close attention to the smallest of details. In the NFL, of course, doing the “little things” matters most.

“One thing that I did when I first got into the league was I looked at the parking lot,” Byard said. “When I got there in the morning, I was looking at cars ... what car is here early in the morning? Okay, this guy here. I was asking Jason, ‘Hey, what time are you getting here in the morning? Why are you coming here so early?’ They were getting rehab or doing the little things.” A fourth-round pick out of Iowa in 2019, Hooker’s ascension to a more significant role on the defense started last season. His snaps with the defense increased, and when Vaccaro missed three games due to a lingering concussion, Hooker was called upon to start. He finished tied for the team lead in interceptions with four and second in passes defended eight while also making 51 total tackles. All of those marks are career-highs. Entering the 2021 season, Hooker is in a position to evolve as a leader for many reasons. Many younger players will fill the secondary after numerous moves in free agency and the NFL Draft. But most importantly, he’s taken after many veterans over his first two seasons, including Byard. “He’s into that role where he’s out there playing, he’s out there being more vocal, making calls and checks. That’s the start of it,” Byard said. “Going out there being sure of yourself, knowing what you need to do. When you assure yourself and know what you need to do, you can coach another guy up. I think he’s been doing pretty great at that. “I think we’re going to be pretty good running mates this year.” ###

TOMMY HUDSON MUCH OF THE NFL THOUGHT TOMMY HUDSON WAS HEADING FOR THE NAVY SEALS

changed pretty rapidly and I just kind of adjusted on the fly.

talking about the draft and player acquisition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As NFL scouts converged on Tempe, Ariz. or rolled Arizona State tape to watch Brandon Aiyuk or even Eno Benjamin in 2019, some took note of a player in the background who was doing some gritty work, blocking aggressively.

“Navy SEAL was the dream, yes sir. We had some really amazing people come and talk to us at ASU and I just always saw that as the next step of team, being part of a unit. Those guys as the epitome of being professionals, the way they work every day, the way they prepare for a mission is similar to how we practice but on a completely different level. Personally, I felt like that was the next step to being able to push myself to being part of that team and finding that higher calling.”

“Tommy improved over the course of last year on the practice squad and now I would say he is doing things that are going to help him and get him noticed and help him in that role. He is on the punt team, he is playing special teams, so those are all positive steps.”

But there was a widespread undertone that Tommy Hudson wasn’t interested in the NFL because his plan was to be a Navy SEAL.

He spent the 2020 season on the practice squad, with a six-week interruption to serve a suspension for a violation of the NFL’s policy against performance enhancers.

“Yeah, there was a little bit of a miscommunication I think on some of the player personnel people at ASU about what my ambitions were after (college) football,” Hudson said. “My dream has always been to play football for as long as God’s going to give me the ability to play it, and I guess that just was miscommunicated.”

Now, after the Titans lost Jonnu Smith to a giant free-agent contract with New England and didn’t make an effort to re-sign MyCole Pruitt, who’s in San Fransico, the team turns to Anthony Firkser as its primary pass catcher at the position, with Geoff Swaim as the top blocker.

He was not on the list of 65 tight ends Dane Brugler had in “The Beast,” his thorough pre-draft scouting preview for The Athletic. Sixteen tight ends were selected in the 2020 draft and Hudson was not one of them. But a football opportunity did present itself, as the Titans scooped him up as an undrafted free agent. Other big developments have unfolded too, as he’s become a husband and father to a baby daughter. What if the Titans hadn’t called and another free agent opportunity had not arrived? “I don’t like to live in the what if, and I don’t really know how it would have worked out,” he said. “Covid happened, a lot of things

That tape he was on, in the frame with Aiyuk and/or Benjamin was a win for the sort of guy just doing his job. “I think that’s just all attributed to just being there, doing the right things, being a good teammate,” he said. “That's kind of what they preach here: Team first, trying hard, effort, finish," Hudson said. "And I think they saw that on film and I was able to get an opportunity here. I think it’s really, really promising. They really hold people to a high standard. And if you come out and bring it every day, you’re going to keep getting opportunities.” It seems likely there is more football for him and if there is a military life ahead, it’s further ahead.

Swaim is hurt and has been missing, which may have been a big reason the team brought back Luke Stocker on Saturday.

In the meantime, he said he hopes to find some ways to give back to the military community. The local V.A. may be hearing from him soon.

With everyone healthy, Hudson figures to be fourth in line, fighting with Stocker for the third spot. The team finished last season with four on the roster.

Briley Moore recently went on IR with what looked to be a serious knee injury suffered in practice and Miller Forristall and Jared Pickney have not stood out. “I think if you look back historically, the numbers with those (blocking) tight ends have decreased,” Mike Vrabel said in the early days of camp., before Stocker arrived. “Ten or 11 of them, I don’t even really know, are getting drafted. I don’t know what the average is. …You only have so much to choose from when you are

CHRIS JACKSON REXRODE: TITANS ROOKIE CHRIS JACKSON HAD TO BE TOUGHER THAN ANY KID SHOULD BY JOE REXRODE THE ATHLETIC MAY 16, 2020 Editor’s note: This is the sixth in a six-part series on the Tennessee Titans’ 2020 NFL Draft picks. Stories on Isaiah Wilson, Kristian Fulton, Darrynton Evans, Larrell Murchison and Cole McDonald were published earlier this week. Time stretches and contracts, a trait clearer to all in a global pandemic, and it can blur memories — altering, eliminating and even exaggerating details of a moment. Some remain vivid. Ira Reynolds says he can still see the play that made him realize he had something special in the Tennessee Titans’ most recent draft pick. Chris Jackson was a freshman at FAMU Developmental Research School in Tallahassee, Fla., and a small one at that, maybe 100 pounds. But he was fast and hungry and persistent — “it was yap yap yap like a little dog at your ankles until you finally say, ‘OK fine,’” Reynolds said — and the coach got him on the field in a varsity game to serve as a decoy on a play that was supposed to go to the running back on a wheel route. Reynolds can see Jackson carrying out his downfield route. He can see his quarterback, for some reason, lofting a pass to Jackson. He can see the linebacker and safety converging on Jackson and combining on the type of hit that might convince a 100-pound ninthgrader to try debate team. “Out cold,” Reynolds said of Jackson, lying on the field after the hit. “But he didn’t drop the ball. And then when he came to, he was begging to go back out there.” This set the stage for Jackson to become a standout receiver and safety at FAMU-DRS, a leader with enough confidence to tell the

waitstaff at a restaurant during a team dinner that it was Reynolds’ birthday so they would sing to him (they did, but it wasn’t). He would go on to graduate early and choose Marshall over suitors such as Kent State and Troy, though Ivy League schools also inquired because of his near-perfect academic record. He had no interest from hometown Florida State and that ilk. Jackson started four years at cornerback for the Thundering Herd, setting the school record for pass break-ups (45) and getting his 5-foot-10, 193pound self drafted in the seventh round by the Titans. Plenty of guys from Florida State and that ilk did not go in any round. And now Jackson is a 22-year-old pro with a criminal justice degree and corner/safety versatility that Titans coach Mike Vrabel said made drafting him an “easy” choice.

does today, ended that. Dwayne moved to Minneapolis for a job and met Tanesha, who grew up in Chicago but moved with her family as a teenager and graduated early from Minneapolis North Community High. They welcomed Chris to the world on April 13, 1998, moved to Chicago to be near her family, then to Tallahassee to be near his. Soon, much of her family joined them.

Jackson has a chance to make an NFL team, just eight years after that first, stinging taste of varsity football. Which came just two years after the completion — the legal completion anyway — of a tragic journey no one should have to experience and no one would want to remember.

Tanesha never got to college as she had planned, but she pushed Jessica to keep going after high school graduation.

That’s what Jackson was asked to do in a Tallahassee courtroom at 12 years old. He was asked to recount the details of the murder of his mother, as her killer sat a few feet away from him. “I got probably three minutes in,” Jackson said. “And then I just broke down and couldn’t do it anymore.” He can do it now. He has done it many times since. It became a motivational staple inside the Marshall program. The story of Chris Jackson is also the story of figuring out what to take and what to leave behind from the life and death of Tanesha Overstreet. Reynolds coached Dwayne Jackson at FAMU-DRS, too. He was a similar kind of player. Aggressive, smart, fast and undersized. Dwayne was set to play for Florida A&M in college. A blown knee, which meant a lot more in the early 1990s than it

“Everybody thinks their family is the loudest but no — my family was the loudest,” said Jessica Overstreet, Tanesha’s younger sister. “And Tanesha was the leader of the family. She was so giving. She had three younger siblings living with her in their house, and my mom, and she loved it. I was like, ‘Don’t you want some privacy?’ Nope. She was happiest around her family.”

“She said, ‘The sky’s the limit, now you’ve got to go to college,’” said Jessica, who graduated from Florida A&M and is now a school social worker in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “I’ll never forget that. It was like she was living through our accomplishments. She called me her pumpkin.” Chris remembers his mother as a combination of tough and fun. She was the one who first put him in football. Sitting around at home wasn’t an option. Doing the dishes and other chores was expected, as was eating healthy. Chris hated eggs, so Tanesha bargained with him: Eat your eggs every day and you get a dollar. Pretty soon he had enough for a dirt bike. “Work for everything you get, that was a big thing with my mom,” Chris said. “And tell the truth. I always told her the truth.” Dwayne took Chris fishing often on the Ochlockonee River, and that remains a passion for Chris, who wants to be a game warden when football ends. But Dwayne’s

CHRIS JACKSON presence was spotty. Chris said he was “in and out of jail” during his childhood for “drug-related offenses.” After the Titans drafted Chris, Dwayne called him from jail. They talk almost every day, Chris said, and Dwayne is supposed to be out in June. As a kid, Chris had another father figure in Terrell Thomas, Tanesha’s long-term boyfriend after she and Dwayne broke up. Tanesha and Terrell had a daughter on the way in the summer of 2008. Tanesha, Chris and Jessica went to a routine baby check-up on Aug. 14, 2008, but doctors told Tanesha she would need an emergency cesarean section because there wasn’t enough fluid around the baby. She was not due for a couple of more months. She ended up delivering vaginally, and 2-pound Taylor Thomas ended up fully healthy and crying with a strong voice upon arrival. She still needed time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Two days later, Tanesha came home against doctor’s orders. Taylor remained in the hospital. Early in the morning of Aug. 17, 2008, Chris was asleep in the back bedroom of their house along with Terrell’s 16year-old son, Breon, and his 12year-old cousin Richard Footman. Terrell was not in the house. The children were awakened by yelling. They heard Tanesha sobbing and begging for her life, telling a male intruder that she had just given birth to a child. They heard him demanding her to give him whatever she had. They backed away from the cracked bedroom door and pretended to be sleeping as the intruder came down the hall and closed the door. They heard the explosion of a 12gauge shotgun. They heard the water in the kitchen sink turn on as the 35-year-old intruder, William Yawn, washed his hands. They heard a door open and close. They ran out to Tanesha, bleeding on the ground and fighting for breath. Breon called 911. Chris grabbed Tanesha’s hand.

“I think she was trying to tell him that she loved him,” Footman testified two years later in Yawn’s trial, according to WCTV-TV. “But she kind of like couldn’t get it all out.” Jessica Overstreet didn’t really grieve her sister until a couple of years ago, she said. She has a family of her own, a job she loves working with at-risk kids at Fort Lauderdale’s Rock Island Elementary School. And for years the focus was on getting Chris through the trauma. “Can you imagine a 10-year-old boy at a funeral walking up to a casket and trying to wake his mother up?” Jessica said. “Like she was sleeping. It was a lot. You talk about strength and resilience, he had to have so much of it.” Chris’ maternal grandmother, Renee Jones-Johnson, was originally supposed to take him in, but her anguish was too intense in the wake of her daughter’s death. He moved in with his paternal grandmother, Delores Madison, and that’s where he continues to live until he gets the all-clear to move to Nashville. “When you find a kid who supersedes challenges like that, who goes through that and comes out a tremendous student, a tremendous kid, you’ve got the right dude,” said Chuck Heater, who recruited Chris at the time as the defensive coordinator at Marshall. “And the bottom line is, his grandmother is just a sensational person.” She did not do it alone. “I spent months and months doing nothing, just crying every day,” Chris said. “I went a whole year without going to school. But my grandmothers, Auntie Jessica, Auntie Caprice, it was like they all jelled together to become my mom.” Jessica would take Chris and Taylor each weekend, so the siblings could have time with each other as well. Running water was a trigger for Chris then, causing him to “have an

emotional breakdown or get really angry,” he said. He could not get the sound of the water Yawn left running in his house out of his head. When he needed to shower at Jessica’s house, she would sit on the toilet and talk him through it. She would tell stories of Tanesha, too. By the time Taylor was old enough to understand, Chris was stronger, back in school, playing football and basketball, singing in the church choir. “My sister’s kind of like my favorite person in the world,” Chris said of Taylor, who is coming up on her 12th birthday. “She didn’t get to experience my mother, but we tell her stories, show her pictures. And then growing up not living together, I couldn’t see her all the time like a normal family would. So I’ve spoiled her whenever I could to make up for it.” And he has reached the point where he can remember what he loved about his mother and talk about her death without reliving the trauma. He told the story at Marshall more than once during team-building exercises, and he became the example coaches would use when trying to motivate others. Not that this is as simple as another “athlete overcomes adversity” story. Not that this has been easy or free of setbacks. Chris had a significant one when he had to testify more than two years after the murder at the trial of Yawn, an admitted drug addict who said he broke into the house that night looking for cocaine. Jessica spoke on behalf of the family on the day of Yawn’s sentencing. Chris was not in the courtroom that day to hear him receive three life sentences in prison. “I honestly don’t even remember what I thought about that at the time,” Chris said. “I kind of just don’t think about him.” ###

JACKRABBIT JENKINS WHY TENNESSEE TITANS CORNERBACK JANORIS JENKINS WANTS YOU TO CALL HIM 'JACKRABBIT' BY BEN ARTHUR THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 4, 2021 Within the first few days of training camp, Janoris Jenkins’ name on the Tennessee Titans’ official roster had been changed to “Jackrabbit” Jenkins, his nickname. He prefers it that way. Why, you ask? “I don’t like Janoris,” Jenkins told reporters late last week. “It’s not my name.” Yes, he said the latter with a straight face. For the veteran cornerback, signed by the Titans to a two-year deal worth $15 million this offseason to be part of a defensive revival, the nickname stems from his days at the University of Florida – and represents a nod to his Pahokee, Florida, roots. “It comes from college,” Jenkins said of the nickname. “When I first entered college, I entered in January (for) spring ball. I really didn’t know any plays when I went out there, but I was making a lot of plays. We got in the film room and my coach was just like, ‘You’re moving fast. You’re moving like a jackrabbit.’ Because where I’m from, we’re catching rabbits.” In Nashville, Jenkins is catching the adoration of his teammates. The 32-year-old cornerback has stood out early in training camp with the energy and intensity he brings to practices. He’s mentoring rookie first-round pick Caleb Farley. And he’s showcased glimpses of his man-coverage playmaking ability, what made him a 2016 Pro Bowler with the New York Giants and a two-time pick-six leader in the NFL.

Jenkins, who picked off quarterback Ryan Tannehill twice in Saturday’s practice, has 26 career interceptions in nine seasons. “Whenever you have a veteran like that who has done it a long time and has success, and you see the way he practices and competes and goes about it, I think it rubs off on everybody regardless of the position group,” defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said Tuesday. “The wide receivers see it; that is contagious. The thing with him, he is constantly talking, constantly coaching guys up, constantly trying to turn the tide because every game there is going to be something. It is not always going to be perfect; we understand that; he understands that from playing so long; and I think his leadership and being able to turn the tide and get our guys to respond can kind of change the mojo when it is not going our way.” Safety Kevin Byard compared Jenkins to one of the guys he’s slated to replace: Malcolm Butler, who was a cap casualty this offseason by the Titans. “He’s a true vet,” Byard said last week of Jenkins. “He’s been doing it for a long time. Guy that brings a lot of swag to the DB room. A funny guy, too. Somebody who I’ve been really hanging around with a lot these past couple days of training camp. I think he’ll be a great addition to our room. He’s a scrappy guy.” ###

JACKRABBIT JENKINS WHATEVER NAME YOU USE, JENKINS WANTS TO BE KNOWN AS A WINNER

Amani Hooker and especially cornerback Krisian Fulton, who enters his second NFL season.

BY MICHAEL HOGAN SI.COM MARCH 19, 2021

“You get excited,” Jenkins said. “...I just showed up, played football, made sure the younger guys knew what was going on and they have confidence. That’s what I am here for. We’re going to have fun.”

He winced a few times as it happened before he finally set the record straight. “When y'all were calling me Janoris, I almost got upset,” he said. One of the Tennessee Titans’s newest members, Janoris Jenkins, would rather reporters – and others – address him as “Jackrabbit” instead. “I have been going by that since I entered the league,” the free-agent cornerback added. The nine-year veteran, who agreed to terms with the Titans on Tuesday five days after being released from the New Orleans Saints, spoke to local media members for the first time on Friday afternoon, shortly after the team formally announced his addition. Other than his name preference, Jenkins gave insight into what Titans fans ought to know about him ahead in anticipation of the 2020-21 season. Experience matters: The 32-yearold Pro Bowler has played in 128 games with 125 starts over 10 NFL seasons. A second-round selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, he spent his first four seasons with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, the next four with the New York Giants and the last two seasons with the New Orleans Saints. The Titans recently released three veteran defensive backs, cornerbacks Malcolm Butler and Adoree’ Jackson, as well as safety Kenny Vaccaro. Jenkins becomes the eldest member of Tennessee's secondary. No doubt, his experience will be a benefit for younger players, safety

He just wants to win: Jenkins loves playing man-to-man defense. It’s his preference. But he can also play zone, he said. Most importantly, though, Jenkins wants to make plays, have fun and win games. High-impact play-making ability is something the Titans so obviously lacked this past season on the defensive side of the ball. Jenkins has made plenty of those types of plays. Among NFL players since 2012, Jenkins ranks first in passes defended (119), first in defensive touchdowns scored (9) and fourth in interceptions (26). “I like to win,” Jenkins said. “If you looked at my background, high school and college, all I did was win. Every level, I like to compete that’s what I am here for.” Jenkins won a state championship while playing for Pahokee High School in Florida. He attended the University of Florida for three years and won plenty of games and a national championship under a program that at the time was coached by the legendary Urban Meyer, who now coaches the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bigger is not always better: Many people often feel apprehensive about signing veteran corners. Entering his 10th NFL season, Jenkins surely has put a lot of miles throughout his successful NFL career. The good news is that he has it down when it comes to staying in shape.

“Always being available. Make sure you’re healthy and available,” Jenkins said. “Doing the small things. You don’t have to do in the weight room and lift 300, 400 pounds. Just keep the small muscles around your body active, and you’ll be okay.” ###

MARCUS JOHNSON JOURNEYMAN WIDE RECEIVER PROVING A GOOD FIT WITH TITANS

Coach Mike Vrabel said Johnson has earned the what he’s gotten in training camp.

BY TERESA M. WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUST 15, 2021

“He has been one, durable because he has been out there every day, been available,” Vrabel said. “He has gotten better, whatever mistakes he makes he quickly corrects and usually rarely makes the second mistake twice. I would say that is a good model that we should all look at for training camp.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Marcus Johnson never doubted how much the Tennessee Titans liked him. Not even when they traded for seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones. The Titans had reached out too many times before signing him to the practice squad in January and then to a contract March 9. The June trade for Jones did not shake Johnson’s confidence after what he saw as genuine interest in his skills and opportunity from the team. “I know what adversity looks like,” Johnson said. “I know this league. I know myself and what I can bring. So ... it just brings the best out of me.” Johnson’s fourth NFL team might just wind up being the right fit. The Titans are looking for wide receivers to play with Jones and Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, and Johnson, who just turned 27, keeps making catches and working his way up the depth chart. He currently backs up Jones on the preseason depth chart and started the preseason opening win in Atlanta with both Jones and Brown watching along with all the Titans’ other starters on offense.

The Titans have plenty of competition at wide receiver. They signed Josh Reynolds as a free agent after four years with the Los Angeles Rams, then drafted Dez Fitzpatrick in the fourth round and Racey McMath in the seventh round. They also have Cameron Batson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine who’ve been with the Titans. A native of Clear Springs, Texas, the 6-foot-1, 207-pound Johnson went undrafted out of Texas. He signed as a rookie free agent with Philadelphia in May 2016 only to spent parts of that season on the practice squad. In 2017, the Eagles signed both Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith. Johnson made the roster that season, winning a Super Bowl ring after playing in 10 games. The Eagles traded him in March 2018 to Seattle, then the Seahawks traded him to Indianapolis that September. He played in 24 games with the Colts, including a couple stints on the practice squad, and caught 37 passes for 634 yards and three TDs.

“I’ve been in similar situations,” Johnson said. “My second year in Philadelphia, we brought in Alshon (Jeffery), Tory Smith and then we drafted two guys and I’m an undrafted second year player coming from the practice squad. And by the grace of God (I) made t he roster that year.

Johnson is enjoying being with easily the most talented receiving corps he’s been a part of in the NFL.

Johnson has taken advantage of his experience and the extra reps with Jones not practicing over the past couple weeks to make an impression.

“And it beings the best out of me. I know that for a fact,” Johnson said. That’s why when we brought in Julio and obviously everyone else we already had and then the two

draft picks, you look at it and you like, ‘Cream rise to the top.’” NOTES: K Tucker McCann did not practice Sunday after having his right, kicking ankle rolled up on a roughing penalty. ... The Titans added TE Deon Yelder, waived TE Gabe Holmes and put LB B.J. Bello on injured reserve. ###

BEN JONES TITANS CENTER BEN JONES OVERCAME TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD BY JOHN GLENNON TITANS ONLINE JUNE 22, 2016 In just three months, center Ben Jones has established himself as one of the livelier personalities on the Titans. He’s shared shocking stories about eating cockroaches and, yes, drinking his own urine on dares by previous NFL teammates, not to mention one about ripping the dreadlocks off a college opponent and tying them to his ceiling fan. It’s easy to believe the affable Alabama native, who’s been known to break up monotonous practices with a joke as he and teammates are lining up for a play, hasn’t suffered much in his 26 years.

system malfunctioned. The crash killed Jones and the pilot.

hospital with some everlasting mementos.

Since then, Ben Jones has worn the No. 60 when it was available. It was the number his father wore playing high school football in Thomasville, Ga.

“I still have screws in my head,” he said, “so I guess you could say I might have a couple screws loose.”

But it was Jones’ mother, Vickie Jones, who became a bigger part of her son’s life, even stepping into the role of Little League coach her husband had held. “It was tough because I really relied on my Dad,” Ben Jones said. “But my mom just stepped in and was a real rock. She was the discipline in the house. If I didn’t do my running throughout the year, she’d wake me up at night and be like, `Hey, run to the mailbox and back,’ and that’s about a mile and a half on the farm. “She stayed on us just like my Dad was doing. She pushed me to be who I am today.”

But that’s far from the case.

'I still have screws in my head'

Jones’ childhood and formative years were marked by a near-death experience, as well as the unexpected deaths of his father and a close friend. The combination of the events made Jones wonder why he’d been singled out to suffer, and caused him to question his own faith as well.

Only months after the passing of his father, Jones was battling for his own life.

“Especially when you’re young, you’re like, 'Why is all this happening to me? What is going on?' ’’ the 6-foot-3, 308-pounder said during Titans minicamp. Mom was 'a real rock' A tortuous stretch of months for Jones began just a few months after his 10th birthday in 1999, when his father, Steve, died in a helicopter crash. Steve Jones did timber work of all kinds, everything from planting trees to helping them grow and eventually cutting them down. He was aboard a helicopter that was spraying pesticide on Alabama pines when the chopper’s fuel

Attending a high school baseball game, Jones was walking from his seat behind home plate toward the outfield seats, where his mother was watching the contest. But as he came around the corner of the dugout, Jones ran straight into the warm-up swing of a player, the bat thumping his uncovered skull. Jones passed a doctor’s concussion test afterward, so it looked like he might be OK. But his condition spiraled downward. “I started throwing up because there was a blood clot was pressing on my brain, making me sick,” Jones said. “It was very bad. I had to have emergency surgery to get rid of the blood clot on the brain. They went ahead and opened my head up and drained the blood clots out.” Jones remained in intensive care for a couple of days before leaving the

In order to make sure he didn’t suffer any more damage, Jones had to wear a batting helmet to school for a year. “I was the kid in class with the helmet on, the kid going to (recreation) with a helmet on,” Jones said. “Fortunately, I was a pretty big kid, so nobody was going to say much to me.” 'I just didn't understand' Jones had to sit out a season of youth football because of the brain surgery, but by the time high school rolled around, he was back on the field, playing on the same team with his older brother, Clay. But tragedy sought Jones out again during his junior year, when one of his best friends was killed in a fourwheeler accident. Jones was not present when it occurred. Faith had been important to Jones growing up, but he found it hard to reconcile it with the events of his life to that point. “I just didn’t understand,” he said. “Why is this all getting taken from me at such a young age? But stuff happens and at some point you realize, 'Hey, there’s more in life like this.' So you have to grow up early.” The older brother of Jones’ friend, a youth minister, spoke at the funeral and delivered a message that resonated. “He said there’s a reason (this death) happened, and I want somebody to get saved because of it,” Jones said. “I feel like it helped a lot of people really turn their life around.” Since getting drafted by the Texans in 2012, Jones said he and his wife regularly attend religious retreats with other professional athletes,

BEN JONES many of whom have lost parents, children or friends. He said they have all come to rely on team chaplains, spouses and family members to help them deal with hard times. But Jones said his mother, who still works the 300-acre farm the family has had since he was young, has had the greatest influence. “Everything is a learning point and you reach out to different people,” Jones said. “But my mom, really, she never cracked. Just seeing a God-fearing woman like her showed us an example every day on how to live that Christian life.” ###

BEN JONES TITANS CENTER BEN JONES' POWER IS STILL OUT, SO RYAN TANNEHILL IS LENDING A HAND BY ERIK BACHARACH THE TENNESSEAN MAY 7, 2020 As of Thursday morning, 7,000 Nashville Electric Service customers were still without power after a damaging wind storm Sunday evening caused widespread outages. Ben Jones was one of them. The Titans center, like thousands of other Nashvillians, had been "roughing it out" for three days before his quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, lended a hand. "I have a great teammate who is not staying in Nashville right now, so we are staying at his house," Jones said on a Zoom call with reporters on Thursday. "Tannehill came in clutch for us because it got a little cold (Wednesday)." More than 130,000 customers in the Nashville area had their electricity knocked out by the storms, which brought straight-line winds up to 70 miles per hour. Decosta Jenkins, the president and CEO of Nashville Electric Service, said the storms "caused the largest number of power outages in my 29-year career at NES." Jones said he felt fortunate to have a teammate like Tannehill, who is riding out the COVID-19 pandemic with his family in South Florida, where he spent his first six NFL seasons as a member of the Miami Dolphins. Earlier this offseason, Tannehill signed a four-year, $118 million extension with the Titans after a career year in 2019 in which he was named to his first Pro Bowl and led the Titans to the AFC title game.

For Jones, it's one more unusual obstacle in an offseason full of them. With team facilities closed due to the pandemic, the NFL offseason has gone entirely virtual. Jones is adjusting accordingly. "I do a Zoom workout every morning at 5:30 — I try to get in (the weight room) and work out before our kids get up," he said. "We have four guys in there, with a trainer in there, so I'm going through a program. And mainly I'm trying to be innovative with how to run, because you don't have a field like you normally have. So, I have a Peloton bike that I use a couple of times a week. I bought a sled that I am pushing in the yard. I am running sprints on the driveway, through the neighborhood. I try to get up early and do it so I don't have a whole bunch of people out there watching me." ###

JULIO JONES JULIO JONES DECLINES TO TAKE NO. 11 FROM TENNESSEE TITANS' A.J. BROWN, WILL WEAR NO. 2 BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN.COM JUNE 8, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Wide receiver A.J. Brown offered his No. 11 to Julio Jones, but the Tennessee Titans' newly acquired playmaker declined. Instead, Jones will wear No. 2 with his new team. Brown has worn No. 11 since his rookie year after originally sporting No. 18 during rookie minicamp. "#11 until I retire. I tried to give it up and he wouldn't take it. Respect," he tweeted Tuesday. The Titans later announced that Jones will wear No. 2. Jones commented for the first time Tuesday on being traded from the Atlanta Falcons to Tennessee, saying in a statement posted to social media that he'll "never forget my time as an Atlanta Falcon" and thanked the Titans and their fans for the "warm welcome" he and his family have received. "Thank you ATL for all the love you've shown me over the years. It's been an amazing 10 years playing for the city & all the fans. I appreciate everything you've done for me over the years & will never forget my time as an Atlanta Falcon. "Excited for the next part of my journey here in Nashville. To the fans, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome for me and & my family. We are very excited to be part of the Titans family. "Ready to get to work!" It's no surprise that Brown would offer his number to Jones given how much he lobbied to get the Titans to trade for the 10-year veteran. Brown has always admired and studied Jones dating back to his days at Ole Miss, when wide receiver coach

Jacob Peeler used to make cutups for him to watch. "He's a big receiver just like me, but the thing he does special is he runs routes just like a smaller guy," Brown told ESPN on Sunday. "For me, in college, he was teaching me everything and didn't even know it. That's when I didn't know him and was just watching him." Brown wore No. 1 at Ole Miss and considered making that his number when the NFL made rule changes allowing players other than quarterbacks, punters and kickers to wear single-digit numbers. He was going to ask Warren Moon for permission to wear the retired No. 1 jersey. But that was before he discovered how impactful Moon was to the Oilers/Titans organization. "I was about to bother you and ask you is there anyway I could wear the #1 until I read your Bio ... I'm not even deserving tbh," he tweeted in April. "Thank you for everything you've done for the game. Legend!! Salute!!" The Titans were able to absorb Jones' $15.3 million cap number after starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill agreed to restructure his contract to create over $15 million in cap space. Tannehill now holds a $41.8 million cap hit in 2022 and a $39.8 million cap hit in 2023. Jones will have an $11.5 million cap hit in each of the next two seasons. ###

JULIO JONES JONES SAYS PLAYING FOR TENNESSEE 'FEELS LIKE HOME' BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM AUGUST 1, 2021 NASHVILLE – The past is prologue. That does not mean it is forgotten. Not for Julio Jones. After 10 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, the Pro Bowl wide receiver still has to remind himself from time to time that he is a member of the Tennessee Titans. It happened Friday during his first media session of training camp when he said “Falcons” instead of “Titans” once. It also has come up in encounters with fans of his new team. “Man, I sign stuff so much [and] I’m so used to putting ’11’ on so many things,” he said. “Now, I’m the deuce. I’m sorry. It’s been a whole decade, right? So, it happens.” With Tennessee, which acquired him in June via a trade with Atlanta, Jones will wear the No. 2, the same one he wore during his three seasons at the University of Alabama (200810). He also will be part of an offense that features running back Derrick Henry and includes another Pro Bowl wide receiver, A.J. Brown, and he will be part of a team that has been to the playoffs three of the last four seasons. Make no mistake, whatever the adjustment, there is no place he’d rather be. “It’s been good, man,” he said. “Just the team. Coach [Mike] Vrabel, everything he’s done for me to make the transition so easy for me. My teammates here. The staff. I mean, everybody here is so welcoming. “It feels like home. It’s not like you’re here and it’s like, ‘What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?’ There’s so many people to help you understand the locker room, the facility. Just everything. So, the transition for me has been very, very easy.”

Even though he has a different locale, different teammates and a different number, the Titans hope the 32-year-old will be the same player he was for most of his time in Atlanta. They want him to be the guy – or at least close to it – who three times led the NFL in receiving yards per game. The guy who topped 1,000 receiving yards seven times and twice topped the league in that category. The guy who demanded attention from opposing defenses and, therefore, created opportunities for others to produce as well. They do not expect him to be just one of the guys. “One thing I told him was that I am going to hold the best players the most accountable and hope they can then, in turn, do that to the rest of the team,” Vrabel said. “I have always said that, that is something we believe in, that is how I was coached and that is what I know. “I just wanted to make sure he understood that, which he did. And that was something he was very comfortable with and we were able to have a conversation. All our conversations and everything that he has done since he has been a member of our team has been positive.” If Jones can perform as expected, he will make an offense that was one of the NFL’s best in the red zone last season and ranked in the top 10 in yards per pass attempt and touchdown passes even more potent. And the way he sees it, a fresh start is the perfect way to send the message to the rest of the NFL that his days are not a thing of the past. “It’s a great opportunity for me to just showcase my skills, my ability, what I can do and what I bring to the game,” Jones said. “Like I said, I can’t talk enough about the organization and the team here. It’s just family right off the bat.

“You love football, and the way these guys come out here, they compete and just the team camaraderie here. For me being a veteran guy coming to a new organization, … I was blown away when I got here.” ###

BRETT KERN WHEN YOU HAVE BRETT KERN — A PRO BOWL PUNTER AND A PRETTY GOOD ATHLETE — YOU TAKE SOME CHANCES BY JOHN GLENNON THE ATHLETIC DECEMBER 17, 2019

Heading into Monday night’s game, Kern was the only punter in the NFL this season who had both run once and thrown at least two passes, plays that have resulted — at various times — in Kern’s near decapitation as well as in game-changing moments. Who says punters live a life of leisure?

The play call itself? Debatable. When the Titans — in punt formation near the end of the first half Sunday — sent Amani Hooker in motion toward the right sideline, it appeared to all but wave a flag in the face of the Texans, alerting them that a fake might be in the works. What special-teams unit, after all, would simply ignore the fact that two players were flanked wide to the right instead of the usual single gunner? “(The Texans) definitely thought something was up,” Titans gunner Dane Cruikshank said. “That’s why they backed off their coverage.” So go ahead and critique the design if you choose, but let’s show a little appreciation here for punter Brett Kern, whose 47-yard spiral downfield still nearly turned the fake into a success, his pass tipped away from Cruikshank at the last second by Texans defensive back Lonnie Johnson. “I mean, it’s really a perfect throw,” exclaimed CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo, who knows a thing or two about slinging the football. It’s been an out-of-the-ordinary season for the 33-year-old Kern, a 12-year veteran who may be headed to his third consecutive Pro Bowl after finishing first among punters in fan voting. He’s punting to his usual strong standards, fifth in the NFL in average (47.5 yards per attempt) and tied for third in net average (43.6 yards per attempt). Kern’s arms and legs, however, have been even more entertaining than his foot.

“Hey, whatever works,” Kern said Monday. “If there are certain looks or certain ways we can help the field position, help with trying to get first downs here or there, and take advantage of something the puntreturn team does, then I’m all for it.” Just why is it that Kern, who’d never thrown a single regular-season pass before this year, has been assigned a few more opportunities this season? Maybe it’s as simple as a former NFL player — Titans coach Mike Vrabel — wanting to see his specialists sweat a little harder during practices that aren’t exactly exhausting. “They’ve got a lot of time on their hands,” a half-serious Vrabel said. “They kick for about 10 minutes, then they snap and hold, then they probably throw passes and do some stuff.” Kern won’t argue with that. When he punted collegiately at Toledo, Kern had enough spare time on his hands during practice that he took up holding for the team’s kicker. It turned out to be a pretty smart decision on Kern’s part, as he’s doubled as the Titans’ holder since arriving in Nashville. So these days, Kern uses some of his extra moments to craft fakes, working alongside special-teams coach Craig Aukerman and assistant Matt Edwards. “We just try to find out what’s realistic and what’s not, what’s a throw I could make and feel comfortable making it,” Kern said. “You just toss around the ideas of what would work and what

wouldn’t, and then you go from there.” Still, Vrabel wouldn’t be handing out extra responsibility — running and passing the football — in key situations to Kern unless he trusted his decision-making and athleticism. Considering Kern’s background includes long-jumping, high-hurdling, playing basketball (he has some nasty dunks on tape) and owning a one-handicap in golf, it’s a pretty safe bet he’s not going to trip over his own two feet while attempting a fake. “I guess you never really know about the term ‘athletic,’ what it means to be an athlete,” Kern said. “That’s always a debate in our locker room, as far as what it is to really be an athlete. “Shooting hoops out here definitely helps me. Playing golf helps. Being able to throw the football a little bit helps, too.” When it works as planned, everyone looks like a genius. That was the case earlier this season against the Los Angeles Chargers, when Kern connected on a perfect 11-yard strike to Kevin Byard, producing a first down on fourthand-8. That completion led to the Titans’ first score of the game and a 3-0 lead. But all the extra practice hours and all the surprising athleticism in the world don’t always result in success. No one knows that more than Kern, who’s been part of two special-teams failures this season. The first oops was especially memorable to everyone, with the possible exception of Kern, who still may be fuzzy about the fake field-goal attempt against Tampa Bay. Kern took the deep snap from center on that play, then stood up and headed around left end in search of a first down. But Buccaneers linebacker Devin White read the play perfectly and delivered a frightening, flattening hit on Kern.

“I heard (the hit) and I thought, ‘Oh my God,’” Taylor Lewan said following that contest. “I thought he was dead.” Kern managed to survive quite well, thank you, to the point he was back at it last Sunday, throwing long to Cruikshank with the Titans facing fourth-and-10 at Houston’s 37-yard line. Should Vrabel have simply stuck with the offense in that situation, especially considering Ryan Tannehill’s success at converting third-and-long plays since becoming the starter? One could certainly make an argument that going a more traditional route would have offered a better chance at success than having a punter throw a Hail Mary. Still, hats off to Kern for making an on-the-money toss halfway down the field. It was simply the latest lively moment in a season that’s offered Kern more than his usual share. Who knows when the Titans will once again call on his arm — or legs — to complement that rocket of a right foot? ###

BRETT KERN KERN HONORS ANNIVERSARY OF BIRONAS' DEATH BY DAVID BOCLAIR NASHVILLE POST SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 Tennessee Titans punter Brett Kern didn’t let the anniversary of Rob Bironas’ death go unnoticed. Wednesday marked three years since the former Titans kicker was killed in a one-car accident. Kern, who doubled as Bironas’ holder for more than four and a half seasons, wore the No. 2 (Bironas’ number) during the workout in preparation for Sunday’s game against Seattle at Nissan Stadium (noon, Fox). “I think about Rob all the time,” Kern told the team’s website. “… [I] figured this is a way I could pay him respect by remembering him. Wearing the No.2 jersey, it was great to honor him for the day.” Bironas spent his entire NFL career (144 games) with the Titans. He earned the job in 2005 after having failed to catch on with other teams the previous three years and having spent time in two arena leagues. In nine seasons, Bironas made 85.7 percent of his field goal attempts and 99.4 percent of his extra-point tries. His field goal accuracy ranks fourth in NFL history. He set an NFL record when he made eight field goals in a single game (Oct. 21, 2007 at Houston) and earned AllPro recognition in 2007. Bironas is second-leading scorer in Tennessee/Houston history with 1,032 points. His 60-yard field goal against Indianapolis (Dec. 3, 2006) is a franchise record and one of 11game winning kicks (another franchise record) he made during his career. Those numbers and achievements ensure he will always have a place in Titans history. For one day, Kern went for something a little more personal

“To this day, I still don’t go by his house, or take the road where the accident happened,” Kern said. “I try to stay away from that stuff. But [long snapper] Beau Brinkley and I are always reminiscing about him, and talking about things he did. It makes us laugh. “There’s definitely things that make you think about Rob, and wonder if he is looking down on you. I hope he appreciated me wearing his No.2 out there (Wednesday).” ###

KENDALL LAMM NEW TITANS OT KENDALL LAMM CAN'T WAIT TO BLOCK FOR DERRICK HENRY, 'ONE OF THE BEST RUNNERS EVER'

"I remember watching Derrick Henry in the far end zone warm up with the Titans and telling myself, 'He is literally (former Texans' middle linebacker) Benardrick McKinney's size (6-foot-4, 257 points) at running back,'" Lamm said.

BY MIKE ORGAN THE TENNESSEAN MARCH 18, 2021 No matter how you look at it, Kendall Lamm is going from one good situation to another in the NFL. The six-year offensive tackle spent the last two seasons in Cleveland blocking for one of the NFL's most formidable rushing attacks featuring running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. After signing a two-year deal with the Titans, worth up to $8.5 million according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Lamm will now block for two-time rushing champion Derrick Henry. "You can't go wrong with either or (Henry, Chubb or Hunt)," Lamm said. "I mean, Derrick Henry is the king. I get it. But Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are phenomenal. At the same time, though, I know the stats speak for themselves. So we'll just leave it at that." The statistical uncanny.

similarities

are

Over the last two seasons Henry rushed for a total of 3,567 yards. Chubb and Hunt, who missed part of the 2019 season with a sports hernia injury, combined for 3,582 yards. The Titans were the No. 2 rushing team in the NFL last season (2,690 yards) and the Browns were No. 3 (2,374). Lamm's first impression of Henry was memorable. It came when Lamm was still at Houston where he spent four seasons after being an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2015.

"And then to watch him be able to do the things he does ... that's what you want," he said. "We literally play offensive line to open holes for a man like that. To know I'm going to have the opportunity to block for possibly one of the best runners ever; it's going to be so tight man." Lamm's time in Houston overlapped with Titans coach Mike Vrabel, who was the Texans' linebackers coach (2013-16) and defensive coordinator (2017). In his fours seasons at Houston Lamm made a career-high 13 starts in 2018. He played in 19 games with three starts for the Browns the past two seasons. Titans fans may remember Lamm from last season when the 6-5, 310 pounder made a 1-yard TD catch on a tackle-eligible play in a Week 13 game the Browns won 41-35. Lamm will never forget it. "It's a moment as a bigger dude growing up you dream about," Lamm said. "We block everyday when we try to make sure the receivers can do their job so they can get that glory. The fact that I was able to do that is a feeling I can't even describe. I still have the ball. It literally has a picture on it from when I caught it. It will be one of my fondest memories ever." ###

HAROLD LANDRY III CORONAVIRUS HAD LITTLE IMPACT ON LANDRY'S OFFSEASON

Most of Landry’s production, however, came in the first 12 weeks of the regular season

BY MIKE HOGAN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED AUGUST 3, 2020

Over the course of the Titans’ final seven contests (four regular season games, three postseason games), Landry recorded one sack (against Baltimore in the AFC divisional round) and 22 total tackles.

Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Harold Landry said it was crazy how things worked out for him this offseason. When the coronavirus pandemic took the country by storm more than five months ago, team facilities were shut down and in-person, fullteam workouts were suspended. The entirety of the NFL’s all-important offseason was conducted via Zoom, an online group-meeting application that many didn’t even know existed until mid-March. As a byproduct, players across the NFL and other professional leagues had to come up with their own ways to stay in five-star shape. Some players purchased Peloton bikes and home workout equipment, while others traveled to different states to meet with personal trainers or teammates. Landry was an exception. He already had all he needed. “I was actually doing a legit home gym before the whole COVID thing broke out,” Landry said during a video press conference Monday. “Then the whole COVID thing broke out and I was already set with the renovations and everything on my house to have my own gym. I'm ready to go.” A second-round draft pick in 2018 out of Boston College, Landry was a starter for the first time last season and was one of two members of the Titans’ front seven who started every game. He led the team with nine sacks and set career-highs with 81 tackles, 28 quarterback pressures, four tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries. He also forced a fumble and intercepted a pass.

Earlier this offseason, Titans outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen said Landry’s lack of production down the stretch of last season was a combination of two different factors. “I think he is still adamant about developing his body, his strength, his stamina, all of those things,” Bowen said in June. “But in my mind, he played too many plays. I’ve got to do a better job of not putting so much on him in terms of play count. Hopefully we get him at his best when we need him at his best down the stretch.” Landry, while thankful to hear that Bowen had his back, said otherwise. “I guess I just had a cold spurt,” he said “You hate to see it, but it happens. I'm not too worried about that happening this year. I feel tremendous. I'm just ready to go. “I feel whenever he wants me out there, I should be able to perform at a high level. That's on me. I just need to be able to perform at my best, full go, every single play. I think it has more so to do with me than it does him.” As training camp opens, Landry said he does not feel any added pressure to be more productive in 2020. His hard work and preparation this offseason -- along with his year-to-year development - will speak for him when the regular season commences on Sept. 14 in Denver. “I'm ready to take that next step. My goal is really when I came into the league, it’s just be a better player every single year I come into the league. I feel I took a step from year one to year two and now it's time to

take a step from year two to year three, and I think I'm ready to do that. I’ve been putting in a lot of work and I'm excited for the season.” ###

TAYLOR LEWAN TITANS DRAFT PICK TAYLOR LEWAN THE FAMILY DAREDEVIL BY DAVE BIRKETT DETROIT FREE PRESS MAY 9, 2014

The family daredevil, Lewan said he mastered a few basic tricks as a teenager, including jumping off and getting back on his bike in the air.

NEW YORK — Before he grew into his 6-foot-7, 309-pound body and became one of the best offensive linemen in the country, Taylor Lewan fashioned himself as a future X Games star.

"I never could backflip or anything like that, but I thought I was pretty damn good," he said. "They had some pretty crazy jumps out there. I broke my wrist once, I had all these scars on my chin from it, a couple separated shoulders once in a while, but you always come back. It's great. Puked blood a couple times. It's exciting."

Lewan, the Michigan offensive tackle who's expected to be a high first-round pick in today's NFL draft, spent part of his youth growing up in Cave Creek, Ariz., riding dirt bikes on his family's 12acre ranch and at an amateur motocross track in the desert the locals call The Watering Hole.

These days, Lewan doesn't ride bikes anymore, though he said he wants to again after his playing days are done, and gets on a motorcycle only when his good friend Nick Bennett, one of two buddies he brought to New York for the draft, lets him ride his Harley around the block.

"Taylor, actually, believe it or not, was an unbelievable dirt bike rider," said Bryce Lewan, Taylor's 19-year-old brother. "My dad actually made him quit because of football 'cause he didn't want him to get injured or anything like that. That was actually his passion before anything else. Riding dirt bikes and being a country boy."

Lewan, who started 48 games at left tackle for the Wolverines and took predraft visits to the Lions, Rams, Giants, Falcons and Cardinals, said his fun-loving nature shouldn't be confused with a wandering eye from football.

Lewan said he started riding dirt bikes as a 5-year-old when his grandfather got him a Yamaha PW50. The Tennessean's Titans Insider talks about the team's first-round draft pick, Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan. The Tennessean By the time he was 16, he had three bikes and he spent most of his downtime tooling around the desert, riding trails and navigating step-ups — changes in elevation — that sent him soaring 100 feet or more in the air. "There's something about taking off just riding, going 125 feet and everyone's just like, 'Oh my god, you're in the air and you're a couple stories up.' " Lewan said. "That's crazy. I love it."

"I mean, if you watch me play football, I'm so determined to be successful, I'm so determined to be that No. 1 guy," he said. "Those are the things I care about. I'm sitting here maybe being the first, second or third tackle taken off the board right now and personally that (ticks) me off. "I'd rather be the worst tackle in the draft than the second best just 'cause I hate it when you're that close and somebody has to say, this guy's better than you. This one guy's better or this two guys (are) better than you. And that's not to take away from them because they are phenomenal guys. Everything about them are great. It's just one of those things." Lewand is rated the second- or third-best offensive lineman by most draft analysts, behind Auburn's Greg Robinson and Texas A&M's Jake Matthews.

Both Robinson, a mauling run blocker, and Matthews, a polished pass protector and the son of Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews, are in the mix to go second overall to the Rams. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said Lewan is a "finesse" player, but projects him to go sixth overall to the Falcons. "He's a great athlete," Mayock said. "He tested as well or better than any other tackle at the draft. I'd like to see him be able to finish a little bit more in the run game, but what I like about him is his athletic ability." Lewan said he doesn't just want to test better than his fellow tackles, he wants to be better than them when all is said and done. "I would never sit here and tell anybody that I think I'm second best at anything I do just 'cause that's the competitive nature of everybody here," Lewan said. "Off the field, am I fun loving guy? I love to be around all my friends and do certain things. Yeah, it's great. It's awesome. Always have a smile on my face. "But as soon as I step between the lines it's not like that. When I watch film, it's not like that. When I go to practice, it's not like that." ###

TAYLOR LEWAN TITANS 'HYPED UP' TO GET TAYLOR LEWAN'S BIG PERSONALITY BACK BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN AUGUST 14, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The 2020 season turned out to be another strong one for the Tennessee Titans' offensive line, but that doesn't mean the team was the same without left tackle Taylor Lewan. The three-time Pro Bowler made it through four games in 2020 before suffering a torn ACL in the Titans' 42-36 win over the Houston Texans in Week 6. Lewan went down in the second quarter and was out for the rest of the season. "He's a big personality, the life of the party so to speak," offensive line coach Keith Carter said. "From an energy and juice standpoint, that's really important. You need that. He's a big help getting over those hump days." The Titans pressed on in 2020 without Lewan, winning the AFC South division title, fueled by running back Derrick Henry becoming the eighth NFL player to rush for more than 2,000 yards. Accomplishing such big things hardly meant Lewan's impact wasn't missed. "Taylor is a large part of what we are doing here," coach Mike Vrabel said. "He does have some energy and excitement. He has been locked in, and he has done everything that we have asked him to do in his return." They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder." That was exactly the case for Lewan and his relationship with football. "I have a newfound appreciation for the game," Lewan said. "I've never been excited in my life just to practice. I'm just really happy with where I'm at and fortunate to be as healthy as I am."

Lewan was so eager to put the work in that his legs were sore after reporting to camp early to help out some of the younger offensive linemen. "It's nice to feel the pains of football. I missed it all," Lewan added. According to Lewan, there were points when he wondered if he'd be the same player on the field again or if he would be strong enough to play. He had no idea how the recovery process was going to be because it was his first time requiring surgery after an injury. Lewan says he attacked each day like it was a new opportunity to get better, even the days when he didn't want to get out of bed because he was hurting. Lewan said he kept a journal where he'd log what he wanted to accomplish every day. That helped him reset and get through some of the down periods. As the Titans enter their third week of camp, Lewan says he feels like the same person he was before the knee injury. A lot of that comes from what he calls "an amazing" team that he put together to help him through the rehab process. His workload has steadily increased to the point where he's taking reps in the team period and going full tilt. Initially, Lewan's reps would conclude on contact. Now it's all the way through the whistle. Having missed so much time, Lewan is eager to get back on the field. But he has trust in the coaching and training staff to bring him along at the correct pace so he can be ready to go for the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. There was a time when perhaps things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Carter and Lewan didn't exactly hit it off when the two started working together in 2018. Carter admits he came in full of "piss and vinegar" to set a tone with the group. Lewan said there was some resistance, but ultimately Carter has helped elevate his game to another level.

"You go from a guy like [former Titans O-line coach] Russ Grimm, who's a relaxed guy, the type that maybe would have a beer in the morning," Lewan said. "Keith is a high-strung dude. It's a big change. I've never done a good job with authority, and he's definitely an authority figure, so that was a hard thing for me to handle. But I really appreciate Keith and what he's done for this team, especially this offensive line." Now Lewan and Carter have an excellent relationship to the point where the veteran tackle is a player the coach relies upon to reinforce executing specific techniques and bringing energy to practice. Lewan can be heard cheering on players and talking trash with the defense. There's a different emotional level when Lewan is on the field. That stems from when Lewan was in high school playing nose tackle. He posted a video on YouTube of himself playing, thinking it would get him a scholarship. Instead, it brought criticism from a teammate, who said he goes hard only every once in a while. Lewan vowed to never have his effort questioned again. He wants his energy to rub off on his teammates. "It's juice, man," Lewan said. "You have millions of people watching, and you have an opportunity to put something on film that everyone around the league is going to judge you for. I love playing football and taking a guy and throwing him to our sidelines and dudes get hyped up." ###

TAYLOR LEWAN LEWAN DONATES $10K TO HIS ARIZONA HIGH SCHOOL BY DAVID BOCLAIR NASHVILLE POST OCTOBER 18, 2017 Taylor Lewan’s first Pro Bowl appearance was worth something for his high school. Thousands of dollars, in fact. Cactus Shadows High School (Cave Creek, Az.) announced this week that it received a $10,000 donation from the Tennessee Titans left tackle. The money will be used for athletics upgrades, including “new banners for the stadium, an industrial washer and dryer as well as other miscellaneous equipment.” Members of the winning team at last year’s Pro Bowl (the AFC beat the NFC 20-13) received grants from the NFL Foundation, which could be directed to their high school or youth football programs. “During our meeting Taylor was an absolute gentleman and really enjoyed the changes to our campus,” Jim Swetter, assistant principal of operations and athletics, said in a prepared statement, according to the Scottsdale Independent. “He said he was going to donate the $10,000 to us because Cave Creek is home. We are very grateful for his generosity and his desire to help Cactus Shadows.” Lewan, one of five Titans players named to the 2016 Pro Bowl, was an all-state football player at Cactus Shadows. As a senior, he helped his team reach the state championship game. “When students bond with their school, their desire to come back and give back drastically increases,” Dr. Steve Bigbee, the school’s principal, said. “We are so happy that Taylor felt that bond while he was here as student/athlete and we are grateful that he chose Cactus Shadows to be the recipient of his gratitude.”

TAYLOR LEWAN TITANS MAKE TAYLOR LEWAN RICHEST OL IN NFL HISTORY, GIVE HIM $80M, FIVE-YEAR EXTENSION BY WILL BRINSON CBSSPORTS.COM JULY 27, 2018 The offensive tackle won't be holding out now, that's for sure One of the concerns for the Tennessee Titans this offseason was making sure offensive lineman Taylor Lewan got into camp, paid, happy and not holding out. Lewan's been a stud since he was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the anchor for the Titans physical running game. And he's being rewarded with a monster deal that will make him the richest offensive lineman in NFL history. The Titans announced the extension on Friday morning. And per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the contract is a whopper, worth a total of $80 million over five years. That's a very stout $16 million per year to protect Marcus Mariota's blindside, which easily eclipses the top tackle valuation on the market right now (Nate Solder got $15.5 million per year and $62.5 million total from the Giants this offseason). Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, there are $50 million "in guarantees" with the deal. Flash the giant red siren for verbiage purposes: that does not mean $50 million guaranteed. But you can bet there's a substantial amount of guaranteed money built into this deal.

It isn't a no-brainer move for the Titans, but it's pretty close. Lewan made the Pro Bowl the last two seasons and is the tone-setter for a pretty close-knit group of offensive lineman in Tennessee. He's a nasty, physical presence in the run game, and with the addition of Dion Lewis alongside Derrick Henry, you can bet the Titans want to be aggressive in the run game. ###

RACEY MCMATH WHAT'S IN A NAME? ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RACEY MCMATH BY MICHAEL HOGAN SI.COM MAY 4, 2021 Racey McMath. What a name. But it’s not just some random moniker. It is one that has meaning and significance. When his mother was pregnant with him, she decided that would be his name because he consistently moved around. “It felt like he was just racing in my stomach, so we said, ‘Ok, that’s going to be his name – let’s call him Racey,’” his mother told LSU, where McMath played three collegiate seasons. A sixth-round pick, McMath is one of two wide receivers the Tennessee Titans selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. And while how he got his name is probably the one thing everyone wondered upon his selection on Saturday, the 6-foot-3, 224-pounder is an interesting prospect for the Titans for many reasons. Here are five things to know about one of the Titans’ newest wide receivers: He played with some of the best young wide receivers in the NFL. At LSU, McMath did not produce massive numbers on offense. He caught only 33 passes for 522 yards and four touchdowns in three seasons. A lot of that had to do with the fact that he sat behind Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson, Cincinnati Bengals rookie Ja’Marr Chase and Carolina Panthers rookie Terrace Marshall Jr. Jefferson and Chase were firstround picks in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and Marshall was a second-round pick this year.

“To be honest, those guys, they are just great players,” McMath said. “There were just kind of ahead of me and I learned from those guys and we always competed at the end of the day. I can’t say that I didn’t work hard or anything like that and that I didn’t know what I was doing. But it was just something that happened. I know that everything happens for a reason and just waiting for the next step.” He shares a close relationship with Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton. Funny enough, McMath and Fulton, who the Titans selected in the second round of last year’s draft, were college roommates. By now, Fulton has presumably welcomed his friend to Nashville. “I’m pretty sure after things settle down I’m going to call and talk it up with him,” McMath said shortly after he was picked. “That was my roommate at LSU, so we are closer than close.” McMath is a capable special teams contributor. While the Titans would like to see McMath develop as a receiver, he first will need to make an impact on special teams to make the roster and see action on game day. Coach Mike Vrabel said the one thing that stood out about McMath in the pre-draft process was the high degree of “speed and violence” with which he plays. “I feel like it is how I use my speed. I have the size,” McMath said. “I play with a physical edge to the game, but I know my speed is a big thing in my getting up and down the field and making those plays.” He developed as a special teams contributor at LSU under Greg McMahon, who has been coaching that unit for more than a decade for numerous collegiate programs and the New Orleans Saints (20082016). “Coach McMahon gave me the opportunity. He stayed on me. I always asked him questions and he always just gave me pointers on

being a great special teamer because he saw the potential I had, and he always pushed me,” he said. “He was the hardest on me at practice because he saw the potential. If I made a mistake, he would let me have it. I just know that was him wanting the best out of me because he saw the potential I had.” He’s a champion. McMath helped lead his high school, Edna Karr, to a Louisiana state championship in 2016. As a sophomore at LSU in 2019, he contributed to a Tigers team that did not lose a game en route to dominating Clemson in the 2019 National Championship game. A big-name connection. McMath had four touchdown receptions for LSU. He caught two of them from Heisman Trophy winner and 2020 No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow, who now plays for the Bengals. ###

RACEY MCMATH 'HE KIND OF REMINDS ME OF JULIO': TENNESSEE TITANS' RACEY MCMATH FLASHING OFFENSIVE POTENTIAL BY BEN ARTHUR THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 6, 2021 In spring 2019, Racey McMath was frustrated at LSU. He aired his grievances with coach Ed Orgeron. He spoke with special teams coordinator Greg McMahon, too. Then a rising junior for the Tigers, McMath didn’t want to leave Death Valley. But in an LSU wide receiver room loaded with NFL talent, he craved more opportunities on offense. “He was never out the door,” LSU wide receivers coach Mickey Joseph told The Tennessean. “He was ready to roll, but he just wanted to get more reps because he wanted to prove to us that he had some receiving skills and that he just wasn’t a special teams player.” McMath has flashed that receiving ability in his short time with the Tennessee Titans. The rookie sixth-round pick has turned heads early in training camp with his play in one-on-ones and team periods. Last week, McMath had one of the highlight receptions of camp so far: using his 6-foot-3, 217-pound frame to get position and high point a back-shoulder throw down the sideline against tight coverage. His impressive physical tools for a wide receiver and speed – he ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at LSU’s pro day – have popped at Saint Thomas Sports Park. What he’s displayed offensively, coupled with his special teams reputation as a gunner, have made him an early favorite to crack the Titans’ 53-man roster. Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel talks with wide receiver Racey McMath (81) during a

training camp practice at Saint Thomas Sports Park Thursday, July 29, 2021 in Nashville, Tenn. “He is fun to coach, man,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said last week. “He just keeps getting better. He has a unique skill-set. He is big. He is fast. He is coachable. Again, he takes a rep over there in the open field tackling drill as a receiver. Obviously, we are projecting him for a major special teams role, so he goes over there and is taking reps in the open field tackle on defense. Takes the coaching, doesn’t miss a beat, bounces around.” Added McMath: "The more plays I make, it gives me more confidence. That’s what I’m trying to do. Make more plays and play (with) more confidence and play faster out there.” Titans star receiver A.J. Brown couldn’t resist the urge to compare McMath’s receiving potential to another new teammate of his: Julio Jones. “I don’t want to say this, but he kind of reminds me of Julio,” Brown said last week, cracking up as reporters furiously wrote down his comment. “That’s the upside I think he has in him.” Tennessee Titans wide receiver Racey McMath (81) warms up during a training camp practice at Saint Thomas Sports Park Friday, July 30, 2021 in Nashville, Tenn. LSU coaches always saw that upside, too. McMath made his mark with the Tigers as a special teamer – “Probably the best in the SEC, or at least that’s what our opponents communicated to us,” McMahon said – but Joseph always believed McMath stacked up with the other future NFL players in the receiving room, which was headlined by the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson (who broke the NFL’s rookie record for receiving yards last season) and the Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase (the No. 5 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft).

Other pros who overlapped with McMath’s tenure included 2018 second-round pick D.J. Chark (Jaguars), 2021 second-rounder Terrace Marshall Jr. (Panthers), 2018 sixth-rounder Russell Gage (Falcons) and 2020 seventh-rounder Stephen Sullivan (Panthers). McMath posted an underwhelming 33 catches for 522 yards and four touchdowns at LSU (34 games). Overshadowed most of his career, he finally became a starter as a senior, but played just six games because of a hamstring injury. Joseph believes he would’ve been drafted higher if he didn’t get hurt. “Racey was in that room, but let me tell you something: We never blinked one time when we had to put Racey in the game,” Joseph said. “Yes, he was in a talented room. But he was also talented. … Y'all seen him (in Nashville). That stuff don't just happen overnight. That's stuff you're born with. We can only do so many drills here at LSU. I go back to his competitive nature. He never backed down in practice from anybody. He was going against first-, second-round corners. It never got too big for Racey.” LSU wide receiver Jontre Kirklin (13) celebrates his touchdown with wide receiver Racey McMath (17) during the third quarter at Vanderbilt Stadium Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020 in Nashville, Tenn. Joseph appreciated McMath’s willingness to accept his role. And his humility stood out. On Thursdays during game week, he never rehearsed touchdown celebrations with his LSU teammates. He preferred not to think about them until he scored. McMath was a quiet kid with a “warrior” mindset, Joseph said. “He was going to fight to the end, and that's one thing I know about him,” Joseph said. “Even with Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson and Terrace Marshall being there, I know if I had to be locked up in a closet with somebody (or) if we

RACEY MCMATH were playing streetball, I’d pick Racey. I'm sure Ja'Marr and Jefferson and Terrace, they'd all tell you that. He's just a guy with some grit and gets after you." Joseph can see McMath having a 10-year career in the NFL. “If you're going to be a third receiver or a fourth receiver, you better be able to play on (special) teams,” Joseph said. “He can play on all four (special teams units) and give you 25-30 snaps a game (on offense) at full speed. "He just sticks it out. He's got some grit. He's going to give (the Titans) everything he got." ###

ELIJAH MOLDEN TITANS ROOKIE ELIJAH MOLDEN'S GOAL? PROVE HIS NFL VETERAN DAD'S HARD WORK PAID OFF TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN JUNE 20, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Elijah Molden was still in high school when then-University of Washington defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake started teaching him the Huskies' scheme. Lake received a call from Molden's mother, Christin, saying the young defensive back had sketched out pictures of the defense he had learned and covered his bedroom wall with them like posters. "This guy means business," Lake thought to himself. That's the impression Elijah, who was taken by the Tennessee Titans in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft, often leaves on those when talking about football. After all, playing cornerback is the family business. His father, Alex, was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the 11th pick in the 1996 draft and went on to play eight seasons with the San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions. "It wasn't like, 'You're going to get to the NFL or else.' But it was kind of just assumed that I would get here," Elijah said. Elijah's path to the NFL was created in part by a great understanding of football passed along from his dad, who spent countless hours breaking down film and coaching his son from a young age. Growing up Molden Elijah is the second oldest of Alex and Christin's eight children. Each of them was given a development plan. It started with gymnastics to learn balance. Then they transitioned to soccer to work on foot quickness and changing speeds.

After that, the Molden kids were allowed to play whatever they wanted -- not just football. "Just because Daddy played doesn't mean you have to," Alex told his children. "But if you do, I got the playbook." Elijah's love for football was sparked early when he was able to go into the Chargers' locker room with his dad. He got to hang out with greats such as running back LaDainian Tomlinson, linebacker Junior Seau and safety Rodney Harrison. Watching his father run out of the tunnel before games to blaring hype music made Elijah want to follow in Alex's footsteps. "There wasn't a day where I woke up and didn't want to be a football player," Elijah said. He started asking detailed questions about football in the fourth grade. Alex wasn't surprised because he could see Elijah's passion and competitive spirit growing. The next year, Alex and Christin allowed Elijah to play tackle football a year earlier than they had planned because Elijah needed that physical aspect of the game. His speed and strength stood out. "I would get giddy," Alex said. "[Elijah] was using stiff-arms, blowing kids up. He was having so much fun. When he put on the pads, it was just like me when I played. It gave him so much freedom." Breaking down film with Dad Elijah initially wanted to play running back because he loved Adrian Peterson. But Alex encouraged him to play defensive back once he got to the eighth grade, knowing he could begin to share his knowledge and experience. "I had to approach him," Elijah said of Alex. "He'd never just show me. He was hands-off until I showed him I wanted to know."

Alex wanted his son to think like an eight-year NFL veteran rather than an eighth-grader. Unlike typical fans, the two didn't take in a football game in a few hours. Watching games turned into a four- or fivehour session. "I would pause it after a big play and ask him if he knew why it happened," Alex said of their film study. "I'd explain to him what the DB's read was. You have to learn the reads and the keys. I would break things down like route patterns. "When [opposing offenses] get to the 50-yard line, what are you thinking? I'm telling him, 'They're going to take their shot.' When you get 3-on-1, what are you thinking depending on what receiver is on the field side? They're trying to isolate. That really helped with football IQ, having him watch film and break down what the receiver or offensive coordinator was thinking. It's all about tendencies." This is where the foundation of Elijah's football knowledge was built, which impressed the Titans in pre-draft interviews. "I think he's been raised well. He was just really intelligent," GM Jon Robinson said after the Titans selected Elijah in the draft. "He knew about our football team. He had prepared for the interview by watching our football team. He spoke highly of how we played and the effort and the finish with which we play." How Elijah ended up in Lake's hands Alex got to coach Elijah as his position coach at West Linn High School in Oregon. One of his proudest memories came when Elijah was only 14 and locked down an opposing team's wide receiver who had been offered a scholarship to Arizona. When Elijah was a freshman, he got his own scholarship offer from Oregon, his father's alma mater, after attending one of the school's football camps.

ELIJAH MOLDEN Other offers followed. When he was a junior, Elijah was offered a chance to visit the University of Washington and watch spring ball on an unofficial visit. Alex didn't think the long drive to the Seattle area was worth it -especially since the school was a Pac-12 rival of Oregon's. So Elijah and his mother took the three-hour drive without him. They were blown away by the campus and the program, so they arranged another visit, with Alex this time. Everything changed for Alex after he met Lake. Suddenly, the idea of turning over the keys to Elijah's success to his alma mater's rival wasn't such a bad idea. "[Lake] broke down film, and the attention to detail was on another level," Alex said. "Also, the success he had with defensive backs made me realize this was the perfect breeding ground. He coached in the NFL. That set off bells with me. Yeah, I would have loved for [Elijah] to be a Duck, but it was a perfect scenario for him to go there." Lake, who coached defensive backs in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2006-07, 2010-11) and Detroit (2008), sold them on Washington's track record with defensive backs, such as NFL firstrounders Kevin King and Desmond Trufant. "There was already proof in how we developed those guys, how they moved on and were successful in the NFL," Lake said. "Alex knew a lot of the guys that I had coached in the NFL and those guys being All-Pros, one of which was a future Hall of Famer in Ronde Barber, so he respected the process." Lake, who's now the head coach at Washington, said Elijah was one of his favorite recruits to watch on film. He loved Elijah's physical ability and leadership, noting how the team would "sway with however Elijah was playing." Elijah's inquisitive side came out as well. He asked detailed questions

about the Huskies' techniques and scheme. Lake was impressed that Elijah wanted to know what everyone around him was doing in addition to what his own duties were. "He prides himself on learning every detail of the defense," Lake said. "You could see that he was a football junkie. When you got him on the phone, you could tell that he had a passion for playing." Another Molden's NFL journey begins Elijah developed into a top NFL prospect, finishing with 153 tackles (seven for a loss), five interceptions, 19 passes defended and four forced fumbles in 36 games at Washington. "With what I taught him and what Coach Lake taught him at UW, he was seeing things at a totally different rate of speed," Alex said. NFL scouts saw Elijah as one of the best nickel defenders in the 2021 draft class. ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick jokingly referred to Elijah as the "Jedi of the slot" because of how well he played the nickel position. "It's Luke Skywalker-type stuff. He can see all of these things, but there's never any panic," Riddick said. "There's a lot of chaos around him, but he's in control. That to me signifies a guy who's really dialed in to the game at another level. He comes from great bloodlines, and that stuff transfers. He'll quickly adapt to the pro game." Making it to the NFL was always Elijah's goal, but the rookie said he isn't satisfied. For him, it's time to make sure all of the hard work his father poured into him pays off. Elijah's message to his dad for Father's Day shows how much all of the lessons mean to him. "Thank you for letting me live out my dreams and always giving me advice, keeping things in perspective," Elijah said. "When I

step on the field, I can do what I do because of you, and when I'm off the field too. I appreciate that, and I love you!" ###

BURKE NIHILL TITANS CEO BURKE NIHILL: MORE BIG EVENTS ON THE HORIZON AT NISSAN STADIUM, POSSIBLY EVEN A SUPER BOWL BY MARQ BURNETT NASHVILLE BUSINESS JOURNAL JULY 27, 2021 With live events returning and football season on the horizon, Nissan Stadium has a packed calendar. This weekend, Garth Brooks will take the field for a sold-out concert event.

We’ve put a lot of emphasis on making that a great venue for promoters to want to come and put on their event. It’s starting to bear fruit. There’s a wide variety of events as well. It is. It’s a lot of fun. When you have a venue like ours, not just the capacity, but the centrality of its location being right across from downtown, it does open up the possibility to have a variety of events. We’re certainly going to host as many football games as we can; Titans games, TSU [Tennessee State University] games, Music City Bowl. We’re always open to hosting even more football games than that.

Next week, the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix will take over the campus for a festival of racing, music and entertainment.

We love hosting soccer matches for Nashville SC this year and last year. Also international soccer games with the World Cup qualifier coming up in September.

With Nissan Stadium serving as the paddock for the race, the 2.17-mile track will run across the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge into downtown Nashville and back.

Clearly this is Music City so we’re going to host as many concerts as we can host working around our busy schedule.

Looking ahead, there’s also the World Cup qualifying match and the NHL Stadium Series. We spoke with Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill about Nissan Stadium’s wide variety of upcoming events, his thoughts on Oracle coming to Nashville and more. Here is our Q&A, edited for length and clarity. What made you want to do more big events at Nissan Stadium? It wasn’t long ago Nissan Stadium hosted football games, CMA Fest and maybe something else if someone wanted to put on a concert at the stadium. The last five or six years, we’ve really started to see not just the football team, but also the venue as something of a community trust. We have the ability, but also the responsibility to deliver great events to Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

It is really the more creative, diverse events that make it fun. … This year, we have the Music City Grand Prix. I think the whole city is excited to see our parking lots and parts of downtown turned into a race track, so it’s exciting. Are there any events you’re still after? We are challenging ourselves to think differently and be innovative. At some point, maybe that means self-promoted events or festivals. Racing around the gridiron: Nissan Stadium to be on full display during the Music City Grand Prix We are scanning other venues of our size to see what other events they’ve had that are a bit outside of the box that we’ve never had a chance to host ourselves. Stay tuned. I definitely can see some oddball events coming to the stadium in the next couple of years.

From a business standpoint, how does Oracle coming to Nashville impact Nissan Stadium and the Titans? Oracle will be our neighbors on the East Bank. It’s exciting to have a business the caliber of Oracle’s not far down the East Bank. In terms of the direct impact, we’re hoping that a lot of those people who get those jobs become Titans fans and that we can deliver the types of non-Titans events at the stadium that would interest them so that they can see Nissan Stadium as a big part of what’s great about Nashville. What’s the financial state of the team as recovery from the pandemic continues? Last year was not a banner year for a lot of companies, and ours is certainly in that category. We’re excited to hopefully host a full stadium of Titans fans this coming year, and to get back to the normal swing of things. How do you view your role as sort of a spokesperson for the city and the team’s role in the community? Do you feel like you’re one of the faces of the city? I don’t know if I’m a face of the city, but we, as an organization over the last five years since Amy has become controlling owner, we’ve tried to become community leaders and reemphasize service in our communities. Last year was a terrible year for the world, but it was a particularly bad year for Nashville. You add on the tornado and the Christmas Day bombing. Our initial reaction to that as an organization is that it’s our responsibility to lead and let the community see us show up in meaningful and tangible ways to hopefully inspire the community to support each other, which is what people love to do here in Nashville. Prior to Steve Underwood stepping down, he mentioned that the

BURKE NIHILL organization would be pursuing hosting a Super Bowl in the city. Is that still a goal of yours? Absolutely. Certainly the stadium is going to need some work to get into Super Bowl worthy condition, but that’s absolutely something we’ll continue to throw our hat in the ring for in the coming years. We think the NFL saw first hand what Nashville could do in terms of big events when the draft came in 2019. I know that they were impressed. When the stadium is ready, we’re going to throw our hat in the ring for a Super Bowl or two. What can you share about the stadium renovations? Back in December, we announced with the mayor that we were having conversations about what’s next for the stadium. At that time, we mentioned that we were going to be entering a phase where we would talk with the community about what they would like to see at the campus and that we were going to talk to our fans about what they wanted to see at the stadium. That process is well under way. This is not the sort of thing that’s a regular occurrence. We’re going to measure twice and cut once. We continue to have conversations with the city. They’ve been very positive conversations, but these things take time, especially the conversations with the community. … Hopefully in the next few months we’ll have more tangible progress that we’re able to share, but at this point there’s no breaking news. What are you hearing during those conversations with the community? A lot of what it comes down to is that our campus is really precious real estate. As you mentioned, Oracle is moving 8,500 jobs down the East Bank. There’s a real desire on the city planner’s part and our part to get this right, to engage the riverfront in

more meaningful ways, to get public amenities right and to ultimately create the sort of neighborhood that Nashvillians today and 50 years from now will be proud of. ###

BURKE NIHILL HOW TENNESSEE TITANS PLAN TO HELP THOSE AFFECTED BY DEADLY FLOOD IN WAVERLY, HUMPHREYS COUNTY BY BEN ARTHUR THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 25, 2021 Tennessee Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill announced that the franchise will make a $50,000 donation for flood relief in Waverly and Humphreys County. The Titans also have offered up Nissan Stadium for the Waverly Central football team, which saw its football complex destroyed by the devastating flooding that rocked Middle Tennessee on Saturday.

missing, officials confirmed to The Tennessean on Wednesday. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Wednesday signed a major disaster and state of emergency declaration for Humphreys County, which frees up state aid for residents impacted by the flooding. Titans coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday said his thoughts and concerns are with the people of Waverly. They’ve lost family members. They’ve lost homes," Vrabel said. "Wanted to thank the first responders. ... Our team, our organization, our thoughts and our prayers are with everyone that was affected by the floods.” ###

Nihill unveiled the Titans' plan to help at the team's Kickoff Luncheon on Wednesday. "We've been working really hard over the last three days to figure out how we can have the most impact," Nihill told reporters. "We'll probably issue a press release with more details, but among things that we plan to do is have a large financial contribution, probably $50,000. We also plan to support the community in more tangible ways as well. We've been connecting with (Waverly Central's) high school coach. As you've probably read, their facilities were devastated. Their equipment is damaged. So we're working with our partners, with vendors to try to see what gaps we can fill in. "In terms of the equipment, looking to potentially give them some washers and dryers for their equipment room. And thinking of even bigger things. We're planning to offer them the opportunity to play a home game at Nissan Stadium, seeing as though they're not going to be able to play home games at their own stadium this year. More details to come." At least 19 people have been killed in the flood, and one person is still

PAT O'HARA MORE THAN A HALFCENTURY LATER, TITANS QBS COACH PAT O'HARA MEETS HIS BIRTH MOTHER IN "LIFECHANGING EXPERIENCE" BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 12, 2021

And the 52-year-old O'Hara is proud to tell his story. "I could write a book on it," O'Hara said with a smile. "It is hard to describe the feeling, especially at my age, to find out now. I don't know if it has taken a huge load off my shoulders, but I feel different in a positive way.

"There was a lot in between there, a lot of searching. But I found my birth mother, and my whole family from Long Island. It's incredible, really." At the end of his search, O'Hara said he discovered his birth mother was very young and frightened when she had him on September 27, 1968. She never told anyone about him.

NASHVILLE – Titans quarterbacks coach Pat O'Hara has lived a blessed life, involved in a game he loves, surrounded by people he loves, for as far back as he can remember. But it the back of his mind, as an adoptee, there was always something missing. Until just recently. Born and raised west of downtown Los Angeles, O'Hara was a star quarterback at Santa Monica High School. From there he attended USC, where he played well enough to be selected in the NFL Draft. As a player, O'Hara spent 16 seasons on teams in the NFL, the Arena Football League and the World League. Over the years, he's also appeared in movies about football, including The Waterboy, Any Given Sunday, and The Game Plan. He's also a long-time coach. Today, O'Hara in his fourth season coaching QBs for the Titans, where he tutors veteran Ryan Tannehill and the team's other quarterbacks. His life-long passion for the game – and the profession – is evident from his many coaching stops, which began in high school and continued from the AFL to eventually the NFL. Without question, O'Hara's football journey has been a long and rewarding one. And so, too, was his search for his birth mother. It's a search that recently ended for O'Hara, in life-changing fashion.

"You always wonder as an adoptee about things, and it is hard to explain unless you are an adoptee. But my experience has definitely been a great one, and I have a whole new respect for not only my birth mother, but my mom and dad, who are no longer with us. They were amazing people, and I wish that they could have been a part of me meeting my birth mother." During a social media post on July 11, O'Hara posted a picture with his birth mother, with the following caption: "It took half a century to find and connect with this amazing woman. So blessed and thankful to meet my birthmother who is beautiful inside and out. The strongest person I've ever met. Thank you for giving me life and accepted me after all these years…I love you! #ImAnAdoptee" Following a recent training camp practice, O'Hara provided the background on his search, and the meeting. He knows his life will never be the same because of it. Understand, O'Hara found more than just his birth mother – he found a big family in Long Island, New York. "I've always known I was adopted," O'Hara said. "I grew up on Santa Monica and ended up going to USC, and I found out the adoption agency was a mile from campus. I went over there when I was 18 years old and tried to get some information, and I wasn't allowed to get it. So, the search began.

After years and years of looking, O'Hara was able to locate her, he said. But even then, it took a lot of dialogue before she was willing to meet with him. "There was some apprehension on her part – she had never told anybody," O'Hara said. "So, over the last year-and-a-half, there were a lot of phone conversations, working through things. And she was finally at a point where she was ready to meet." On July 4, O'Hara and his family – his wife, Billie, and his two boys, Tyler and Trace – flew to New York for the meeting. He'll never forget what happened next. "It was a blur," O'Hara recalled. "It really was really a blur, because I look exactly like her. It is hard to describe, really. I am still kind of at a loss for words. "I found my birth mother, and a whole family from New York that I didn't even know about, and they are wonderful. … Being able to reunite with her, and her meeting my kids, her grandchildren. I have a brother, a sister in New York, a half-brother, half-sister, niece, nephews, just wonderful people up in Long Island. My kids now know who their grandmother is, biologically. It has just been a great experience. "What's beautiful is my experience in reuniting with my birth mother has been unbelievable. It's an Aplus."

O'Hara said he's stayed in touch with his birth mother on a regular basis since. The family is planning to attend the Titans game against the New York Jets in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on October 3, and already plans are being made for a vacation next summer. When O'Hara met his birth mother, she was wearing a gold necklace with the letter 'M' engraved on it. Her name is Melissa. Or, to him, "Mom." "She is wonderful, a really amazing person," O'Hara said. "She is so strong to do what she did. "All of this, it has completely changed my life right now. I really do have whole new respect for a lot of things. I have a whole new family, and a pretty large family. My parents have passed away, and my sister passed away. So, it is just me and my sister from the family I grew up in. So, now it is just kind of neat to have a whole group of people that are just wonderful. They're family, and it is just a really neat thing." ###

DAVID QUESSENBERRY CANCER SURVIVOR DAVID QUESSENBERRY MAKES TOUCHDOWN CATCH FOR TITANS BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE SEPTEMBER 15, 2019 NASHVILLE – Titans tackle David Quessenberry beat cancer. So, getting open and catching an NFL touchdown pass on Sunday was a piece of cake. “It was a simple route --- any of the offensive linemen on this team could have caught that ball,” Quessenberry said after his memorable play. “I just happened to be the guy who had his number called on that play and was able to come down with it. All I was thinking was, ‘Don’t drop it.” Quessenberry didn’t drop it – he caught a one-yard touchdown pass thrown by quarterback Marcus Mariota in the team’s 19-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday. What made the play so unique: Quessenberry is a 6-foot-5, 310pound offensive tackle who hadn’t caught a pass since high school. He was lined up in the team’s jumbo package on the play, making him a tight end, and eligible to catch it. What made it so special: Quessenberry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in June 2014 while with the Texans. His cancer went into remission after he completed radiation treatment in February 2015, and he completed his full treatment in April 2017, and returned to practice with the Texans. Quessenberry joined the Titans last year, and he made the team’s 53man roster this season. “I have been through a lot, and it has been a long journey to get here,” Quessenberry said. “Even with all of that, to go out there and score a touchdown, it is crazy. That was amazing. It was epic.”

making the catch, After Quessenberry was swarmed by teammates. Quarterback Marcus Mariota jumped into his arms as he held the ball above his head. “The ups and the downs and the rollercoaster that he has been a part of,” Mariota said of Quessenberry. “It was a pretty cool moment for him, and hopefully something he’ll remember and cherish for the rest of his life.” Titans coach Mike Vrabel was disappointed with the loss. But he was happy for Quessenberry. Vrabel was defensive coordinator with the Texans when Quessenberry was in Houston. “We’d like to have it help us win the game,” Vrabel said. “Dave is a valued member of this football team who can play multiple positions. He cares about the team. Every single day he’s into it on the sideline during the game. He executed the play and we were able to find him.” After the game, Quessenberry said the Titans worked on the play in practice several times. But in practice, Mariota never threw him the ball. On Sunday, he found himself open – and he caught it. “I guess he just trusted me,” Quessenberry said with a smile. “But I don’t think I am switching positions any time soon. I enjoy being an o-lineman too much. But if my number gets called and they need me to play jumbo tight end, I am happy to do it.” ###

DAVID QUESSENBERRY FIRST CAREER START ONE TO REMEMBER FOR TITANS’ DAVID QUESSENBERRY, WHO BEAT CANCER

Quessenberry mentioned how "grateful for the type of man he is, his belief in me, giving me the nod this week."

BY PAUL SKRBINA THE TENNESSEAN NOVEMBER 30, 2020

"David Quessenberry stepping in, making his first start in six or seven years, pretty impressive (considering) the journey he's been on," Vrabel said.

David Quessenberry had more career touchdowns – one – than starts going into Sunday's game against the Colts. The Titans offensive lineman pulled that score to 1-1 when he finally, four years after making his NFL debut and not much more than three years removed from his final cancer treatment, was able to start what he finished. Quessenberry, whose football career and life were question marks when he was diagnosed with nonHodgkin's T Lymphoblastic lymphoma in 2014, took his place at left tackle for the beginning of what turned out to be a 45-26 victory Sunday. He played 68 snaps, tied for most among Titans linemen in the game. Also the same number of combined snaps he'd played in 12 previous NFL games spanning three seasons. "It's hard to put into words," Quessenberry said. "It really is. It was very special for me, something I've been working for for a long time. It's been a huge mountain to climb, a lot of valleys and peaks along the way." On the field, Quessenberry had a front-row seat, but was far more than a spectator, when he helped Derrick Henry bulldoze the Colts for 42 of his 178 yards and the first of his three touchdowns. In his head afterward, he couldn't help but recall his relationship with Titans coach Mike Vrabel. How he helped teach one of Vrabel's sons, Tyler, to play offensive line when the two were with the Texans. How Vrabel has stood by Quessenberry through his sickness and his health.

Quessenberry was watching film last week when he was informed he very well could start. The first person he shared the news with was his wife, naturally. "She's kind of seen those valleys and those hard days, and being able to share the good news with her is big," he said. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound sixthround pick of the Texans in 2013 was well aware he was trying to fill in for Taylor Lewan, the anchor of the line who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. He and Lewan worked out together during the offseason. Seeing him and other teammates injured, opening up a spot for him, wasn't easy. But it's all part of the game. One he finally started. One that went pretty well, considering the Titans allowed Ryan Tannehill to be sacked just once and became the first team this season to score 35 points in a half. "The touchdown was great, but give me a great team win any day of the week," Quessenberry said. "I'll take that." ###

DILLON RADUNZ TITANS DRAFT PICK DILLON RADUNZ FINDS MOTIVATION IN MEMORIES OF LATE FATHER, FOOTBALL COACH BY JOHN GLENNON BROADWAY SPORTS MEDIA MAY 26, 2021 The tears began to flow within seconds of the Titans’ call to Dillon Radunz on draft night. In that sense, it mirrored the experience of top NFL prospects and their families all across the country, where pent-up joy and relief poured out when the big moment arrived.

forward in his football career – chosen in the second round by the Titans with the 53rd overall pick– broke the tenuous hold the family had managed to keep on its feelings. “There were tears across the board for everybody,” said Dillon’s mother, Kathy Radunz, her voice breaking as she recalled the moment. “Dillon and his brother have formed a bond since their dad died that is literally unbreakable. So to watch those two crying and talking about their dad within moments of receiving the phone call was just, uh, it was really hard. It was really hard. “But Dillon always said his dad has the best seat in the house now. He gets to watch everything.” I’ll make you proud

But mixed in with the elation at the Radunz household in Becker, Minn., was also a sadness, an understanding there was a hole in the family gathering. This was not new, of course, as Jeff Radunz – Dillon’s father – had died following a battle with alcoholism more than a decade ago. Still, how could his presence not be felt at a time like this? It was Jeff Radunz, a former college player himself, who moved the family to Becker when his kids were young, in large part because he wanted his boys – Dillon and younger brother Nick – to grow up in a strong, tight-knit football community. It was Jeff Radunz who coached Dillon’s sixth-grade football team, a video of Jeff beaming following his son’s big pancake block still a part of family legend. And of course, it was Jeff Radunz whose death inspired the tattoos on Dillon’s right arm, a pair of angel wings to represent his father, along with the serenity prayer commonly associated with Alcoholics Anonymous. So, yes, the announcement that Dillon Radunz had taken a giant step

The relationship the family – which also includes Dillon’s older sister, Danielle — shared with Jeff Radunz was a complicated one, as is almost always the case when dealing with those suffering from addiction.

something’s wrong, it’s wrong. Not to say he can’t change his mind. “But with his father, it was like, `This is not right. This is not how you should be doing this. This is not what a father should be doing.’ So that caused some struggles.” Kathy Radunz is thankful, though, that through some frank and difficult conversations, father and oldest son better understood one another before Jeff’s death. “They were able to talk about it and really work through some things,” Kathy Radunz said. “I thank the Lord every single day for that. But it was tough.” Jeff Radunz passed on Aug. 10, 2010, the cause of death “an alcohol-related injury” that didn’t involve a car crash, per the family. One month later, 12 year-old Dillon signed the online guestbook next to his father’s obituary: “Thank you for the gifts u gave � I’ll make u proud.” Imagining him there helping me

He was always a big supporter of the kids and their athletic endeavors, but Radunz said his late father was an alcoholic “as far back as I can remember.” What might have made matters even more challenging is that Radunz described Jeff as “a functional alcoholic,” meaning the outside world didn’t often see the symptoms his family did. “We still did everything together and all that kind of stuff,” Radunz said. “So it wasn’t too crippling. He did go to rehab a few times.” Kathy Radunz, however, said the situation was especially stressful on her kids at a young age, as the family tried to support Jeff – living through a lot of emotional ups and downs. She noted that Dillon was old enough to understand the significance of the problem. “There’s not a lot of gray area with Dillon,” Kathy Radunz said. “If he believes something’s right, it’s right, and if he believes

The loss of a parent at a young age can send a child spinning in all kinds of directions, but Kathy Radunz was determined not to let Dillon falter. As the oldest son, he felt he should in some ways take on his father’s role, serving as a source of strength and protection for the family. Kathy Radunz kept it simple for her seventh-grader, telling Dillon just to focus on maintaining his good grades and competing in three sports – football, basketball and track. “I hope I did a good job of making sure he knew he didn’t have to take on that role,” Kathy Radunz said, “and allowed him to – after a while – just be a kid again.” Added Dillon: “She was kind of the rock to it all … So as a kid, I was kind of like, I’m just going to try to have fun and try to see where I can go with this, use it as a motivation

taking a knee – and a moment to himself – to connect with Jeff.

Championship Subdivision championships from 2017-19.

It wouldn’t be long before other father figures stepped up to help the young Radunz.

“I just try to picture him up in the stands,” Radunz said. “I’ve got an old video of him coaching me. So I’m just imagining him being able to be there helping me. It’s just something that reminds me of my roots, where I came from.”

And despite Radunz’s lesserknown FCS profile, he was the first player extended an invite to play in the 2021 Senior Bowl.

One was Jeff Radunz’s brother, Uncle Mike to Dillon. Another was Dillon’s Becker High math teacher, who also happened to coach him in basketball and track. A third was legendary Becker football coach Dwight Lundeen, who’s earned a reputation of churning out quality young men as well as title after title during his 53-year tenure. Lundeen found himself equally impressed with the emotional makeup and the tremendous athleticism of Radunz, who started on both sides of the ball – a 6-6, 270-pound offensive tackle and defensive end – on back-to-back state championship teams during his junior and senior seasons. “It was a situation where he could have been angry at the world and frustrated with taking on so much responsibility so early,” Lundeen said. “But he was just a very mature young man. He was very grounded in his family. He balanced his academics and his life extremely well, stayed on top of everything.” It was also clear to Lundeen that Radunz’s late father was still very much on the son’s mind, an invisible presence Dillon sought to please. “There’s no doubt it was difficult for a young man not to have that father image there,” Lundeen said. “But he would always say, `Dad is watching.’ We said, `You bet he is. He was a great Becker football fan.’ He just felt like he was honoring his father, and I think that helped him to focus and to play well.” It was in Radunz’s sophomore season that he first taped a picture of his father inside his football helmet. Somehow the image stayed intact for three years, defeating the forces of sweat and weather. Radunz also began a pre-game ritual he’s continued ever since,

Helping people with addictions Radunz’s football career at North Dakota State didn’t gain immediate traction, as he took a redshirt year in 2016 and then tore his ACL just 15 snaps into the 2017 season. The unfortunate circumstances did allow Radunz more time to spend on his academics, a significant silver lining since he had chosen a challenging path of studies: Industrial engineering and management. About a year-and-a-half into that major, Radunz considered switching to Psychology, telling his mother he wanted “to be able to help people who’ve gone through stuff like we’ve gone through.” Radunz ultimately stuck with his first choice, but the urge to use his own personal experiences to benefit others remained a strong one. In fact, Radunz recently helped initiate a $1,000-per-year scholarship fund at Becker High, the only requirement that entrants would be limited to students who’d lost a parent or guardian – as he lost his father to alcoholism. “That’s something I’m super passionate about – just helping people with addictions, being able to talk to people through it,” Radunz said. “Because I grew up with it.” Once Radunz eventually got on the field, meanwhile, he quickly made an impact at North Dakota State, whether it was protecting quarterback Trey Lance – the third overall pick of the 2021 draft – or blocking for a Bison running game that totaled a school-record 4,601 yards in 2019. North Dakota State won three straight Football

“One of the mottos at North Dakota State is ‘Raise to Maturity,’ and I think Dillon had that maturity as a young kid,” said Vanderbilt offensive line coach A.J. Blazek, who held the same position at North Dakota State during Dillon’s last two seasons. “He does talk about his dad. That’s a driving force for him. He knows that’s a motivator. It’s really important to make his dad proud in what he does.” Remembering my dad Only three days after playing in North Dakota State’s only football game last year – the Bison’s season cut short by COVID-19 – Radunz packed a suitcase or two and flew to California, where he spent months training under former NFL Pro Bowl tackle Joe Staley. Preparing for the Senior Bowl was especially important for a prospect like Radunz, who had to show NFL scouts – as well as himself – he had what it took to compete with high-level players from Football Bowl Subdivision powers. “We’re all human, so, yeah, there was some nervousness there, especially when people tell you constantly, repeatedly that you’re not from that level so it’s going to be a change,” Radunz said. “But I knew there was a plan in place. I knew I had enough confidence in my game to just go out there and do what I did.” Things couldn’t have gone much better for Radunz, who was named the Senior Bowl’s practice player of the week. He not only led his National team to victory in the game, but celebrated by dumping a water container – full of Reese’s peanut-butter cups – on Miami

Radunz’s performance in Mobile, Ala., sealed his value in the eyes of NFL teams like the Titans, setting the stage for the NFL Draft. On night two of the big event, Radunz gathered family and friends in Becker, awaiting the phone call that would change his life. Among those present of course was Uncle Mike, the man who’d done so much to fill the void in Radunz’s life over the years. In Jeff Radunz’s absence, it was Uncle Mike who often served as Radunz’s coach, took him hunting, taught him the lessons he needed to learn. So it didn’t take long after announcing his destination that Radunz turned to his Uncle Mike, the two reveling in the news – wishing Jeff Radunz was there to enjoy it with them, but confident he was still somewhere watching with a smile. “Between us, we hugged it out,” Radunz said. “(My uncle) was crying, and he’s not normally a guy who cries a lot. So it was just a special moment that we shared together. “We were remembering my dad – and his brother. Just being able to share that was an awesome thing.” ###

JOSH REYNOLDS TITANS ADD FORMER RAMS WR JOSH REYNOLDS ON ONE-YEAR DEAL BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MARCH 23, 2021 NASHVILLE – The Titans have bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of former Los Angeles Rams receiver Josh Reynolds. On Tuesday, the team and Reynolds officially agreed to terms on a oneyear contract. Reynolds (6-3, 196) had a careerbest 52 catches for 618 yards and two touchdowns in 2020 with the Rams. In four NFL seasons, Reynolds has played in 64 games, with 24 starts. He's worked in the slot and on the outside at receiver during his career, and he's caught 113 passes for 1,450 yards and nine touchdowns. He's recorded 23 catches of 20-plus yards, one catch of 40-plus yards, and 67.3 percent of his receptions have resulted in first downs. Per Sportradar, Reynolds lined up as an outside receiver on 69.5% of the snaps last season with the Rams, and in the slot 22.1% of the time. Reynolds has never missed a game during his career. His 64 consecutive games played puts him in a tie for the third-longest current streak among all active wide receivers. Reynolds, 26, will have an opportunity to compete for significant playing time alongside third-year receiver A.J. Brown in 2021, following the departure of Corey Davis in free agency, and the release of Adam Humphries earlier this month. The Titans also have receivers Cam Batson, Cody Hollister, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Rashard Davis, Chester Rodgers, Marcus Johnson and Mason Kinsey on the roster.

The Rams selected Reynolds, who played at Texas A&M, in the fourth round (117th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. At Texas A&M, Reynolds led the SEC with 30 career receiving touchdowns, which ranks second in school history. In his collegiate career, Reynolds caught 164 passes for 2,788 receiving yards, and he caught a touchdown in the final eight games of his career. He's the only player in Texas A&M and SEC history with multiple 90-yard plus receptions in his career. ###

JON ROBINSON TITANS CONTROLLING OWNER AMY ADAMS STRUNK, GM JON ROBINSON, HC MIKE VRABEL WANT TO MAKE DIFFERENCE IN FIGHT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS JUNE 11, 2020 NASHVILLE – Jon Robinson sat at his desk at Saint Thomas Sports Park on Thursday and poured his heart and soul into issues now on center stage across the world. The Titans General Manager made it clear he wants to do his part to make a difference as it relates to social injustice, racism and police brutality, and in an emotional delivery, he encouraged others to do the same. On the same day, Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk also made her feelings known on the matter.

I would encourage those who haven't thought about these issues before to understand the pain, anger and frustration of the black community. Black lives matter. We should all agree on that." Jon Robinson on Social Injustices: We Have to be Better Robinson eloquently broke down the words of the Pledge of Allegiance in a Zoom conference call with reporters. Members of the organization – from front office officials to coaches to players – have had a number of conversations on subjects of police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, and the protests that have followed across the country. Robinson said he's also been on conference calls with officials around the league, and said he's had meaningful talks with players and members of his staff he described as "real and empowering." "This being my first opportunity to speak publicly about the issues our nation is facing with respect to social injustice, to racism, police brutality – all issues that are wrong," Robinson said. "There shouldn't be a standard for how to live as a black person in our country. I had a great conversation with a staff member the other day who teared up in my office talking about how he hopes this (Black Lives Matter) movement can create change, a sustained change, so that talk that he had to have with his parents as a young black man, that he does not have to have that same talk with how to be leery and how to conduct himself as a black man in our country. We've got to be better."

"I want to add my voice and the voice of our organization to the calls for equality and reiterate our firm stance against all forms of racism," Strunk said in a statement. "Hearts, minds and institutions need to change throughout our country. Those who face racism need to be heard, and more importantly, understood by those who haven't listened before. Our organization and our players have dedicated time and resources to these issues through the 'We Stand For' campaign and we are making a difference in our own community, tackling issues like educational equity, judicial reform, policing policies and assistance for underserved areas. We are proud to support those efforts and we will continue to find ways to impact our region.

Robinson then reflected back to his childhood, when he learned the Pledge of Allegiance.

"Hearing our players and coaches speak over the last two weeks has been constructive to this vital discussion. I support our players using peaceful protests and their platforms to advance us as a nation.

"It's a pledge to a flag that represents our country, and a pledge is a solemn oath," Robinson said. "It says, one nation – not a black nation or a white nation. It says one nation. It says indivisible – which means

united, not able to be pulled apart. With liberty, which means a state of being free from oppressive restrictions. And justice, which is defined by the quality of being fair and reasonable, for all, which is for everyone, regardless of the color of your skin. So, I just think this pledge, this oath that we've all recited, if we can truly put that into action, we can work to change. We can work the hearts and minds that need to be changed, that liberty, that justice, that feeling of one nation, a nation of human beings, a nation of God's children. I think that is our charge." On Wednesday, Titans safety Kevin Byard, linebacker Rashaan Evans, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill all said they've been encouraged by what has happened in the wake of Floyd's death in Minneapolis, which occurred when police officer Derrick Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck for more than eight minutes. Floyd's death has led to more conversations across the world, and awareness, and a lot of that is happening through protests. Titans coach Mike Vrabel, who has been involved in conversations with his players on the push for social justice during the team's virtual offseason meetings, called for "inclusion, diversity, equality, and opportunity" earlier this month while also acknowledging he didn't see the issues as clearly as he needed previously. "I'd like to acknowledge my own personal privilege, one that is real," Vrabel said. "And I'd like to acknowledge a social blind spot that either I was unaware of or chose not to see. I've had the unbelievable opportunity to listen to our players … in our team meetings. I listen to them with an open mind and hear and learn what they believe in and how they feel. Amy, Jon and myself have tried to put great people and great fathers and great husbands and great student-athletes onto our football team, and the majority of those men are African-American with a much different experience and background than I'll ever know.

JON ROBINSON And by listening and understanding those thoughts and feelings, and how they feel, has helped me recognize what is important, and what is important is we find ways to respect each others' feelings, that we respect each others' beliefs, that we respect each others' efforts to make positive change in our community where we work, the communities where we live and the communities where we grew up." On Thursday, Vrabel said he wants to continue to do his part "to make this a positive change for everybody." ###

JON ROBINSON TITANS’ VRABEL, ROBINSON ADVOCATE FOR GETTING VACCINE BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST AUGUST 27, 2021 The Tennessee Titans endured a COVID-19 outbreak last season that affected more than 20 players and coaches and caused a few wrinkles in the regular season schedule as well. That was before three COVID-19 vaccines became available to the general public. Now the Titans are about 98 percent vaccinated, according to General Manager Jon Robinson. And as they deal with their second virus outbreak, Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel, who tested positive for COVID on Sunday, say the vaccine has made a major difference in how things are handled this time around. “The vaccine maybe made the symptoms, in my specific case, less,” Vrabel acknowledged on Thursday. “I think that is also the case from what I have heard from our other players. It is important because there is no fail safe. We have proven that. “All we can try to do is maximize our ability to stay safe, to function as a team, to keep our families safe, to do our jobs and do them well. I am proud of where we are at as a team in vaccination rate, but hopefully we can continue to do that and allow our communities and everyone to enjoy the games and enjoy life.” Special teams coach Craig Auckerman, who has been absent from the last two practices, is also in the COVID protocol along with Vrabel. Both are vaccinated. Seven players including quarterback Ryan Tannehill, linebacker Harold Landry and tight end Geoff Swaim, among others were added to the reserve/COVID-19 list. Tannehill

said at the end of July he had begun the process of getting vaccinated. It’s not known if he was fully vaccinated before Thursday. “We’ve had two people that I know personally that have lost loved ones over the last couple of days to COVID from symptoms and complications,” Robinson said. “And it’s a lifesaving vaccine. “…I think everybody’s doing everything they can to try to help it. And the biggest thing is the vaccination, because it does save lives.” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that all nine of the Titans coaches and players on the reserve/COVID-19 list tested positive while The Tennessean is disputing that report. Vrabel said after his positive test, he had a monoclonal antibody infusion and has felt great since. Robinson noted on Thursday that the players he has spoken to that have tested positive and are vaccinated said their symptoms didn’t last longer than 24 to 48 hours. “If you do contract it and you’re vaccinated, it looks like the science has shown that you’re sick for a day or two and then you’re going to get through that,” Robinson said. “So, there’s comfort in going out to dinner and trying to get back to some degree of normalcy, which we all want to do. And I know that the vaccine helps.” ###

JON ROBINSON A FATHER’S LOVE: TITANS GM JON ROBINSON MAKES WINNING BID AT JDRF GALA BY JIM WYATT TITANS ONLINE MAY 4, 2017 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Card No. 486. Titans general manager Jon Robinson held it up during a live auction at the JDRF Promise Gala, and he wasn’t about to put it down. He was thinking about his oldest daughter as tears filled both their eyes, and all those impacted by Type 1 diabetes. Robinson won more than just a painting with his $10,000 bid that night. He provided a lasting memory for his family, and all those in attendance at the Omni Hotel the weekend before the NFL Draft. “I guess it kind of showed a father’s love and a family’s love for their child, and that we are willing to fight to make her life better,’’ Robinson said. “It was a really, really special moment for me and hopefully it impacted somebody out there to help continue to fight to find a cure. It was a really special night.” Anyone who thinks the Titans GM is aggressive in pursuing players or trades should’ve seen him at the 17th Annual Promise Gala. Mary Lyn A. Schuh, Executive Director of the JDRF Middle Tennessee Chapter, got emotional retelling the story about the night Robinson refused to let anyone in the crowd of 830 outbid him for a special painting at the black tie affair.

diabetes in April 2012, on Easter Sunday. She is on an insulin pump and a glucose monitoring system. Finger pricks, middle of the night searches for juice boxes to address low sugars, and daily stress are a part of the routine for Taylor and the Robinson family as they hope and pray for a cure one day. Jaimie Robinson, Jon’s wife, serves on the JDRF board in Nashville, and at previous NFL stops in Boston and Tampa, the Robinsons were involved with the JDRF community as well. Inside a triangle on the painting, Taylor penned her dream: “I want to go to Harvard and become a doctor or lawyer.” Other children wrote about dreams of being a No.1 draft pick in the NFL, an athletic trainer, a veterinarian or a dermatologist. Others said simply they hoped to one day find a cure for the disease, or to simply “stop worrying” because of it. “I want to be able to say I HAD diabetes,” one child wrote. Schuh described what happened when the item went up for bid. And when card No.486 was raised into the air. “Jon put his bid card up, and he wouldn’t put it down,’’ Schuh said. “And so the bidding is going on, and slowly people are realizing someone over there is not putting their bid card down. And then people started realizing it was Jon, and he has this look of utter determination and love on his face, looking at his daughter. And then Taylor looks at him and sees him, and she starts crying…

The last item up for bid during a live auction was a “Dreams of the Future” painting inspired by 10 youth ambassadors, all of them impacted by Type 1 diabetes.

“The next thing you know Jon is walking up on stage toward Taylor, his arm is still up in the air holding the card in the air. He holds her and they are both crying on stage as he held that big card in the air. When (he won) there was a standing ovation. Everyone in the room could identify with that feeling of wanting to support their child. It was such a beautiful, beautiful moment.

Robinson’s 11-year-old daughter, Taylor, was diagnosed with Type 1

“And it was very emotional. There was not a dry eye in the house. I had

all these grown men come up to me telling me they couldn’t remember the last time they’d cried, and they cried.” Robinson called it a “special night.” “I didn’t do it for recognition,” he said. “It was really to show her how much we are willing to fight for her, and to really show everybody in attendance how passionate we are about finding a cure, not just for her but for all the kids and families affected by diabetes.” The Promise Gala raised roughly $1.6 million for JDRF, and the money the foundation raised goes toward helping find a cure for children and adults with the disease. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Since the body does not produce insulin, those with the disease are required to take shots or use an insulin pump, in addition to regularly monitoring their blood sugars. In addition to the $10,000 bid, the Robinsons, who have two daughters, also made a substantial donation to JDRF. The highest bid of the night – $16,000 – was an opportunity to call a play in a Titans preseason game. Other Titans memorabilia, including a Marcus Mariota helmet, a VIP experience at a Titans practice, and a chance to play golf with Robinson and Titans head coach Mike Mularkey were also part of the fundraising event. Schuh praised the Robinsons for their support, and generosity. “That organization is making great strides and working on an artificial pancreas that will hopefully help slow the disease until we can eventually find a cure,” Robinson said. “It is something we are very passionate about. “I know there are certainly worse things that afflict families out there, but this one is one that impacts our family so we are going to do everything we can to thwart it.”

ROBINSON CLIMBED CAREER LADDER WITHOUT NFL'S HELP BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM MAY 20, 2020 Jon Robinson did it on his own. Those who want to follow a similar career path to that of the Tennessee Titans general manager got a little help from the NFL on Tuesday. Owners approved a change to the league’s anti-tampering rules that makes it easier for assistant coaches and front-office personnel to interview for higher ranking positions with other teams. In short, a team no longer can block an interview request provided the candidate wishes to pursue a “bona fide” career advancement opportunity. According to SI senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, the impetus for the change came from the New England Patriots’ decision last year to block director of player personnel Nick Caserio from an interview with Houston during the Texans’ search for a general manager. Caserio’s contract with the Patriots included language that allowed them to deny him the opportunity to interview. The Texans ultimately decided they had no legal recourse and ended their attempt to talk to Caserio. It is not the only time New England use such a clause in a contract. From Breer in this week’s MAQB column: New England wanted to put a similar clause in then-college scouting director Jon Robinson’s contract in 2013, Robinson refused, let his contract run, and went with Bucs GM Jason Licht to Tampa in 2014 as a result. Two years later, he became the Titans GM. So, you can see where avoiding the clause benefitted Robinson, just as agreeing to it hurt Caserio.

JON ROBINSON Robinson joined the Patriots as an area scout in 2002. Four years later he was promoted to regional scout, then to assistant director of college scouting (2008) and director of college scouting (2009). Caserio is in his 18th season with New England and has been in his current position for more than 12 years. The Texans ultimately decided to allow head coach Bill O’Brien to serve as general manager as well. ###

JON ROBINSON TITANS GENERAL MANAGER JON ROBINSON GETS PROMOTION, SAME DUTIES BY JASON WOLF THE TENNESSEAN JANUARY 6, 2017 The Titans promoted general manager Jon Robinson to executive vice president/general manager Thursday. It doesn’t change his job responsibilities, but provides greater recognition and a likely pay bump after his aggressive trades, free agent signings and first draft class helped turn the Titans from a league laughingstock into a potential playoff contender. Tennessee finished with a 3-13 record in 2015, tied for the worst in the NFL. Robinson was hired Jan. 14, 2016, after previous scouting and front office jobs with the Buccaneers and Patriots. The Titans went 9-7 and just missed the playoffs this season. It was their first winning record since 2011, and the six-win increase marked the largest single-season turnaround in franchise history. “Jon has done great work since his arrival to our organization and this is a way to recognize that fact,” Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a release. “His leadership and football acumen helped change our culture and improve our team. He and (coach) Mike (Mularkey) deserve a great deal of credit for our turnaround this year and I am hopeful that will continue this coming year and into the future. This is an acknowledgement of his work and it puts him on equal footing with others in the league who direct football operations.” Robinson orchestrated several important trades. He dealt the No. 1 overall pick to the Rams for a handful of additional picks, then traded back up to select right tackle

Jack Conklin with the eighth overall pick. Conklin is a Pro Bowl alternate. The trade also resulted in the Titans having the fifth overall pick in this year's draft. All of Robinson’s draft picks remain on the team, and many provided notable on-field contributions. Robinson also acquired running back DeMarco Murray from the Eagles for a swap of fourth-round draft picks. Murray led the AFC in rushing yards this season. A number of his free agent signings also provided significant returns, including wide receiver Rishard Matthews and center Ben Jones. “Amy called me today to talk about this promotion and I was truly humbled and grateful,” Robinson said in a release. “This organization means the world to me and I am working on a daily basis to make it better. I don’t stand alone in this task of improving our team — from ownership, Mike and the coaches, the players who have bought in to our program, scouts and staff. We all have worked together to create a family and hopefully a culture of long-term success.” ###

RODGER SAFFOLD III TITANS VETERAN LINEMAN RODGER SAFFOLD HUNGRY FOR SUPER BOWL RING AFTER TWO CLOSE CALLS BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS MAY 29, 2020 NASHVILLE – Rodger Saffold had options when he became a free agent after the 2018 season. The veteran offensive lineman had just played in a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, and part of his mission was to find a good match with a contender. He ended up signing with the Titans, and he still remembers the reaction from some. "People thought I was crazy for coming to the Titans," he said, before adding: "But look at us now." Heading into his 11th NFL season, Saffold is as hungry as ever. After his Rams lost in Super Bowl LIII to the Patriots, during his first season in Tennessee Saffold was part of playoff wins at New England and Baltimore before experiencing an AFC Championship loss at Kansas City. As a result, the Titans finished one win short of making it to the Super Bowl in Miami. Saffold started all 19 games at left guard in 2019, including the three playoff contests. He has a Super Bowl-or-bust mindset heading into 2020. "My passion for that is through the roof," Saffold said during a Zoom call on Thursday. "After going to the Super Bowl and then realizing that we were one game from getting into the (Super Bowl) with the Titans, I was really driven. My entire focus was driven to getting back to the Super Bowl. Total complete confidence in myself and my teammates, and basically what can I do to get us there again. This time

we know having a slow start won't help us at all. "We really had to gut-wrench through the season to get everything back the right way. For us now, I think that now that we know our capabilities, having that fast start is always in the back of our minds. But we're not putting any pressure on us. We know that hard work is what got us there. For me, I constantly – even the day after our loss in the Super Bowl, all I thought about was getting back. People thought I was crazy for coming to the Titans, but look at us now. I have nothing but confidence in my team and I can't wait to get back in that position again." Rodger Saffold Looking Forward to Getting Back to Work with Teammates Saffold struggled at the start in 2019. In fact, following a Week 5 loss to the Bills, he stood at his locker and beat himself up after allowing multiple sacks in multiple games early last season. He blamed poor technique, and a new scheme, for his issues in Tennessee after playing his first nine NFL seasons with the Rams. "I feel like I am letting my team down at this point," Saffold said at the time. "I am not used to having this type of frustration. … I am not going to blame anybody on my team – my players, my coaches. I am just going to have to find a way to get connected with this team and be able to get in rhythm with the team.

Derrick Henry to lead the NFL in rushing with 1,509 yards, and while the group allowed too many sacks of quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill, it showed improvement in the second half of the season, and during the playoffs. Tannehill made it to the Pro Bowl as he led the NFL in passer rating. And Saffold found his footing. "There was definitely an adjustment last season just with everything being new," Saffold said. "I think that just having that perseverance to just keep working through it and then start meshing with the offensive line, it allowed us a lot of success toward the end of the year. I really like the mentality, the direction that we're kind of going into next year. I think that we should expect to be on the same plane. Just continue from last season, but always challenging ourselves to be better than before. "As far as for myself, (I now have a better understanding of the) kind of the concepts that the coaches are looking for. Kind of the way that they want us to handle certain types of protections, the techniques. We started to figure that out better and better as the season went on and now it's kind of second nature. The fact that they can tell me something and I can regurgitate that back to them the way that they see it is really helpful. Kind of understanding plays and understanding technique. Now I have a better grasp of that, so it's going to help me in the future, especially in the future." ###

"At the end of the day, even though we all make mistakes, we always talk about how you have to be critical of yourself and that is one thing that I definitely take to heart. The only thing that I can do is come in here and try to be the same guy without being too down." Saffold ending up settling down, and settling in. He was part of an offensive line that paved the way for running back

RODGER SAFFOLD III HOW TITANS’ RODGER SAFFOLD BECAME AN ESPORTS OWNER AND WHAT’S NEXT BY TURRON DAVENPORT ESPN AUGUST 17, 2020 NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It all started with trips to Blockbuster to rent video games. That’s how Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Rodger Saffold III and his business partner, Kahreem Horsley, were first exposed to the world of online gaming. Saffold and Horsley have known each other for around 15 years. Gears of War was one game they played together early on. Horsley became a pro in 2008 playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. He joined a series of small online leagues and played in weekly Major League Gaming 2K tournaments. He was building a following, so he and Saffold started streaming games on Twitch, an online platform for gamers. As their audience grew, Horsley and Saffold started thinking of founding a team of their own. Fast-forward to 2014 and Saffold, who was the No. 33 overall pick of the 2010 draft by the Rams, became one of the first active professional athletes to own an esports team. Rodger Saffold, left, founded his own esports team with business partner Kahreem Horsley in 2014. Courtesy of Kahreem Horsley "You start to get into conversations with people [about esports ownership] and they look at you like, ‘What the hell are you talking about?’” Saffold said. “At the end of the day, they still look at video games as a child’s game. You have to tell them, ‘No, this is a very profitable business.’ This is a business that you want to get in as early as you can because the price keeps going up. You see all of these people and realize it’s really a huge

deal. These franchises keep getting more and more expensive over time." Now Saffold and Horsley have even bigger plans for their esports future after announcing last week they’re expanding to include a team for VALORANT, a first-person shooter game released in June. Building a team Competing in tournaments opened Horsley’s eyes to how more money was being earned on the competitive scene. Global esports revenue exceeded $1 billion in 2019, according to a report from Forbes. Saffold and Horsley looked into starting a gaming organization that housed competitive esports gamers, with a goal of eventually selling merchandise. It wasn't expensive -all they had to pay for initially was setting up a limited liability company (LLC) and traveling to tournaments. They came up with the name Rise Nation, which was recently shortened to Rise. Rise's ascension started during its rookie year. Horsley lost a tournament but turned his attention to the players who beat him -Jonathan “Pac Man” Tucker, Jamal “Whea7s” Lee, Daniel “Loony” Loza and Damod “F3ars” Abney. Back then it wasn’t common for players to be under contract as they are now. Horsley reached out to them via Twitter and had contracts drawn up. Six months later, that team competed for the 2014 Call of Duty Championship.

and Street Fighter, where in its first year Rise won a $250,000 prize for winning the Capcom Cup. The key was adding a player from the Dominican Republic -- Saul “MenaRD” Mena -- whom, Horsley said, no one had ever heard of. Tennessee Titans lineman Rodger Saffold, center, saw his Rise team soar to success during the Call of Duty World League season in 2018. MLG Rise has 32 total employees, including 15 pro gamers. Before bringing a player aboard, it does a background check and scours a prospective player's social media for signs of trouble. "It’s a regular process like you would do at any other place," Horsley said. Being on the scene as a respected gamer helps Horsley find new talent. "You have to play yourself up through the ranks and get that respect level," Horsley said. "Once you get to a certain point of competition, guys will contact you to get scrimmages because you only practice with those that you respect. They respect me so it’s very easy to navigate these scenes." Added Saffold, "We are very beloved in this space. A lot of people have respect for us and enjoy playing with us." Expanding to new games That respect helped Rise form its new VALORANT team.

It placed seventh and won $35,000. Making a name for themselves Rise began competing in the Call of Duty World League. In 2018, its last year in the league, it finished first in three open events in Atlanta, Seattle and Anaheim, California. It won six major championships in Call of Duty. And it has been able to expand into other games such as Gears of War

“Rise was a huge name in Call of Duty, winning major titles. And winning Capcom Cup for Street Fighter 5 was a giant milestone, cementing their name as an organization,” VALORANT team leader Todd “Anger” Williams said. “Adam 'Spirit' Wills, who is on the current VALORANT roster, competed in Overwatch for them and instantly gave us the blessing

RODGER SAFFOLD III when we were scouting who to play for."

types of situations. You’ll definitely see yourself in the green after this.”

Although Rise doesn’t compete on the Madden platform, Saffold has become somewhat of an esports ambassador to his NFL teammates. A lot of them play Call of Duty, FIFA, Madden and more, but until speaking with Saffold, they don't realize how much money can be made from the games.

Rise recently underwent a rebranding process for the first time since it hit the scene in 2014. It redesigned its jerseys and hosted a $50,000 charity Call of Duty: Warzone event in June, with proceeds going to the Equal Justice Initiative. They also have aspirations toward potential participation in the Call of Duty League.

"Every time I talk to them they are like, 'Really?' Now guys are like, ‘Hey, can I invest?’ I have talked to several people on the Rams and Titans about it and they’re surprised now," Saffold said. Running back Marshawn Lynch and former defensive end Michael Strahan are some of the high-profile investors in NRG Esports. Rams owner Stan Kroenke and Patriots owner Robert Kraft both own teams in the Overwatch League. Having been in the NFL for 10 years, Saffold is familiar with the results-driven aspects of the game. He strives to keep his esports players motivated to play the games the way they need to play to win. "I’m all about the process and I’m all about the work," Saffold said. "As long as I’ve got players that grind continually on the game, making sure they have some experience, making sure that they’re practicing, playing the game instead of playing a bunch of other games, I’m usually in a good mood." Unlike many other industries, online gaming has seen an upswing during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more people staying at home and looking for things to do. "It’s definitely helped my business," Saffold said in May. "One of the biggest expenses that you have as an esports owner is having your players travel to different cities. With there not being any travel and most things being online, it’s really cut down the cost of a lot of expenses going to and from events. Expenses are going down, viewership is going up. You get more eyes on marketing, those

Ideally, Saffold would like to merge his Rise fans and Titans fans. “I want this to go hand in hand. I want the gamers to support the Titans and the Titans fans to support my off-the-field hobbies.” ###

TITANS GUARD RODGER SAFFOLD TREASURES LESSONS, SUPPORT AND LOVE FROM HIS LATE FATHER BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 NASHVILLE – As a youngster growing up in Ohio, Titans guard Rodger Saffold III knew from an early age he wanted to play football. His father, Rodger Saffold II, showed him the way with love and support. "My dad played football, so we had a football home," Saffold said of his father, who played at the University of Iowa in the mid-1970s. "I used to watch high school, college, and professional football games at a very young age. I decided I wanted to play football when I was nine, and my dad helped me figure out what I was going to do." Rodger Saffold II helped his son pick his position, and he steered him toward his dreams. Saffold said his father drove him to workouts, and supported him every step of the way, through his playing days at Bedford High (Ohio), and into his collegiate days at Indiana University, where he became a dominant performer, and a team captain. Saffold said his father used to send him tapes of players to watch when he was in college, and it helped him turn into an NFLcaliber talent. Saffold was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Rams. "He was always there, very supportive," Saffold said of his father. "During games in high school he would give (me) a thumbs up and thumbs down after drives (when I came off the field) to see how well I did. Thankfully, it was always a thumbs up." Along the way, Rodger Saffold II also learned how to be a man, thanks to his father's steady guidance.

RODGER SAFFOLD III "He basically taught me about having the values of good character, and a leadership role and all those things and to match that with being in love with the hard work and the grind and that has carried me through this whole time," Saffold said. "I have been playing over 20 years now and he was a big part of that." Rodger Saffold III, an 11-year NFL veteran who is set to begin his second season with the Titans, lost his father at the end of August. Funeral services for Rodger Saffold II were on Wednesday, September 2. Saffold left the Titans briefly to support his family, but he returned to be with his teammates, who have done their best to keep his mind off the loss of his dear father. Practices, and a game plan for the opener, have allowed him the opportunity to turn his attention away from his sorrow. When Rodger Saffold II discussed his father during a video conference call last week, he bragged about the man who was "a huge support system for me all my life." The two talked before every single game, and after every game. On Monday, before the Titans face the Broncos in the season opener, Rodger Saffold won't be able to pick up the phone in the hours leading up to kickoff to talk to his father, something he's done since he first started playing football 20 years ago. But he knows his father will be with him in spirit. "I am still going to talk to him," Saffold said. "One of my rituals is going to be praying (before games), so I am still going to be talking to my father through that form. And I am just going to continue to play how I know how to play. "This has raised a lot of motivation for me, just wanting to get out and do what I can for myself and my family. So, motivation is not going to be a problem for me this year. So

I just think taking all of (the heartbreak) and putting it in the right direction and being productive for this team is what's going to be best for me and for my family." ###

JIM SCHWARTZ SCHWARTZ WAS WINNING NUMBERS GAME BEFORE MOST WERE PLAYING BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM APRIL 7, 2021 Jim Schwartz was crunching the numbers well before it was cool to do so. He was the first coach I encountered to use analytics, and he did so even before they were called “analytics” or at least before the term was part of the general sports vernacular. Then it was just numbers and percentages that seemed to be more like one man’s obsession than a trend that eventually would dictate decision-making of every game. It was early in his tenure as Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator, which ran from 200108. One day, Schwartz and I crossed paths in the media relations office, and we struck up a conversation in which he talked about the degree to which one forced turnover improved a team’s chances of victory and how those percentages increased with two and three takeaways. From there he moved into the likelihood that an offense would score when it started a drive inside its own 25 versus when it started at its 35 or beyond. The feeling was that he could have gone on forever such was his enthusiasm for the information. If anyone would be quick to recognize the value of analytics, it makes sense that it was Schwartz. He was a Division III Academic AllAmerican at Georgetown, where he earned an undergraduate degree and graduate honors in economics – and he banked on the fact that mathematics could and would make him a better coach. Eventually, his approach and the Titans’ personnel combined to great effect. In 2007, his defense finished fifth in the NFL in yards allowed and eighth in points allowed. The next season his unit finished seventh

and second, respectively, in those areas. It is an important bit of history now that Schwartz is back on Tennessee’s staff as a senior defensive assistant. Typically, an old hand serves as a voice of wisdom based on all the game situations he has encountered. That was the thinking when Mike Munchak added Gregg Williams to his staff in 2013 to work with defensive coordinator Jerry Gray and when Ken Whisenhunt brought in Dick LeBeau in 2015 to work with Ray Horton. Neither of those decisions produced the desired results. This is different. Schwartz, at 54, is not an old man, but he has as much – or more – experience with the numbers game as anyone in the NFL. For a relatively young defensive staff – only Jim Haslett has been an NFL coach for at least a decade, and that includes head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen – Schwartz can provide guidance on how to use the numbers that are so prevalent in today’s NFL. After all, it is one thing to have the information at hand – and there is seemingly no limit to today’s analytics – it is something else to make good use of all that data. It is not difficult to believe that coaches whose careers began in the analytics age can get lost in the numbers and lose sight of the fact that they still have to be applied to players – human beings – who are far less predictable than the numbers. Schwartz’s success in those early days of mathematical game management make him one of the gurus in this regard. His career began before the integer invasion and has thrived since (he also had top five defenses in Buffalo and Philadelphia), and he has been a part of it every step of the way. Vrabel has not said specifically what Schwartz’s responsibilities

will be in his return to the Titans. You can bet, though, that he was not brought back just to look back on what he has done and try to keep the rest of the staff from repeating his mistakes. He will be looking at the numbers – as he always has – and trying to help Bowen et. al. use them to get the most out of a defense that allowed yards and points to add up way too high last season. ###

JIM SCHWARTZ TITANS HIRE JIM SCHWARTZ AS SENIOR DEFENSIVE ASSISTANT

with 44 sacks in 2008 when he was coordinator. He started in the NFL in 1996 with the Baltimore Ravens.

BY TERESA M. WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS APRIL 7, 2021

This is the second time a Titans coach has brought back a former Tennessee defensive coordinator as a senior defensive assistant. Thencoach Mike Munchak hired Gregg Williams in February 2013 after the NFL reinstated him from suspension for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have hired veteran defensive coordinator and former Lions head coach Jim Schwartz as a senior defensive assistant. The Titans announced the move Wednesday. “He has a deep level of football knowledge and has overseen a great deal of success on the defensive side of the ball, so it always good to add a quality coach to our staff,” coach Mike Vrabel said. "This role will provide our defensive staff with Jim’s experience and perspective in the staff meetings and on the practice field.” Vrabel announced in late January that Shane Bowen, who ran the defense last season without the title, as the Titans' defensive coordinator. The Titans were last in the NFL allowing teams to convert 51.8% of third downs and 28th giving up 398.3 yards a game. Schwartz has been defensive coordinator for 14 NFL seasons, the last five with Philadelphia. The Eagles ranked third in the NFL last season with 49 sacks, a category the Titans ranked ahead of only Jacksonville and Cincinnati in last season. The Eagles ranked seventh in sacks through his five seasons. Schwartz was on the Philadelphia staff that won the 2017 NFL championship. Buffalo led the NFL with 54 sacks in 2014 during his lone season as defensive coordinator for the Bills. He was head coach of the Detroit Lions between 2008 and 2013. Schwartz worked 10 years for the Titans, and Tennessee ranked third in points allowed per game, second in passing yards allowed and fifth

JEFFERY SIMMONS SIMMONS GOES HOME TO GIVE BACK BY MICHAEL HOGAN SI.COM MARCH 2, 2021 Much like everybody else, a rare burst of winter weather that put a vast majority of southern states on pause two weeks ago took Jeffery Simmons by surprise. Snowy and icy storms created much work remained for first responders, electric workers and others. In Noxubee County, Mississippi, where the Tennessee Titans defensive tackle starred in high school, those essential employees worked long days to restore services to the communities impacted. Simmons, who has been doing offseason training in Dallas, Texas, did not hesitate to return to an area that still means so much to him. Last Friday at the Noxubee County Civic Center in Macon, Simmons provided meals and signed T-shirts to law enforcement and electric workers. “I'm just grateful to be in a position to be able to show my appreciation to these guys," Simmons told The Dispatch, a newspaper that serves Starkville and Columbus, Mississippi, areas. "...Their job's as important as anybody else's job. I just wanted these guys to see that and feel that I really appreciate them and care about them and the job they're doing.” A first-round pick by the Titans in the 2019, Simmons said he still has two aunts who live in the Macon area. Their power, however, remained throughout the storms. Just because he has family in the area, though, is not why he returned. wanted to show Simmons community members that no matter how much fame he achieves, he will always remember where he came from. That mission was accomplished. Jaron Andrews, an electric worker in the Noxubee area, brought his 17-

year-old daughter, Anna Beth, to Simmons’ event. The two became fans during Simmons’ three-year career at Mississippi State University. His presence and generosity so clearly had a positive impact on them and many others. "It's good to see somebody come in here and re-invest their time in the community," Jaron Andrews told the paper. "I like to see that as a parent of children who are growing up in the community." Now a leader on the Titans’ defense and in the locker room overall, Simmons has played 24 games with 22 starts over the course of his two seasons with the Titans. He has registered five sacks, 81 tackles, seven tackles for a loss of yards and three fumble recoveries in all. Many things, though, are bigger than football. "I take pride in doing this. I take pride in just being able to show people that I don't have a 'hot head' as people say," Simmons said. "I just want to show people that no matter how far in life I go, I'm always going to remember Noxubee County. I'm always going to give back." ###

JEFFERY SIMMONS JEFFERY SIMMONS WIPES AWAY TEARS AFTER SUPPORTIVE WORDS FROM TITANS OWNER BY ERIC HE YAHOOSPORTS.COM APRIL 26, 2019 The Tennessee Titans knew two things about Jeffery Simmons before they took him 19th overall in the 2019 NFL draft on Thursday: that he was coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL in February and, more importantly, an arrest in high school for simple assault — an incident in which he was caught on video hitting a woman, who Simmons claimed was fighting his sister. Simmons pleaded no contest in 2016 to the simple assault charge and was found guilty on one count of malicious mischief. But the Titans took a gamble on the defensive lineman, and that had a lot to do with a leap of faith by owner Amy Adams Strunk. At Simmons’ introductory press conference on Friday, Strunk spoke passionately about why the Titans chose Simmons while he wiped away tears. “We are getting a great football player, that goes without saying, but we are getting a great man,” Strunk said. “We are a nation that gives second chances, and this young man, Jeffery Simmons, he deserved that second chance.” Strunk said that she and the Titans brass watched the video of the incident and discussed it. But she made the final call, and decided to draft Simmons. “It didn't take me long to see that this young man had an incident in high school,” Strunk said. “We all can look back on our lives in high school and wish we had done things differently." Simmons, who went to Mississippi State, fell in draft boards this week

due to the injury and the past misconduct. But he was appreciative of Strunk’s support, especially “coming from a woman.” Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter Multiple teams viewed new Titans’ DT Jeffrey Simmons as a top-5 pick, even though he went at No. 19. One even called him “the best player in this draft.” Of course there are welldocumented disturbing issues with him. "I made a mistake, and I regret it,” Simmons said. “The key word she said was trust. And I’ll tell her in front of you guys that she can trust me. I won’t let her down. I won’t let either one of these guys and down. I am grateful.” ###

JEFFERY SIMMONS SLIMMER, HEALTHY SIMMONS COULD ELEVATE TITANS D-LINE SECOND-YEAR DT DROPPED 15 POUNDS DURING OFFSEASON TRAINING BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST AUGUST 12, 2020 The Tennessee Titans didn’t have 2019 first-round pick Jeffery Simmons for seven games last year. Now, the 23-year-old defensive tackle is one year removed from ACL surgery and finally fully healthy, which could make all the difference for the Titans defensive line heading into the new season. “[With] an ACL injury or meniscus injury, it’s a lot to get back to,” Simmons said. “Some people say they’re not themselves for a year or two. But when I went back and watched film, I knew that wasn’t me. I know what type of guy I am…There was a lot of stuff that I didn’t see on film that I know I could do, especially this upcoming year. Stuff that I’ve been working on. “I had an injury for sure, but at the same time that’s the whole point of this year here — to see how much I can grow from that this past year. [The coaches] are going to put me in a great position to see how much I can get better from last year.” Simmons was a solid contributor last season in the nine games he played. He finished his rookie season with 32 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks, two quarterback hits and a pass defensed. His stats weren’t too far off from those of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, who was traded to the Denver Broncos during the offseason. Casey had 44 tackles, five tackles for loss, five sacks and 10 QB hits last year. Had the Titans been able to keep both in 2020, they would have presumably had one of

the top interior line groups in the NFL. Now, Simmons is being relied on to replace Casey’s production while allowing a younger player such as DaQuan Jones, Jack Crawford and rookie Larrell Murchison an opportunity to make an instant impact this year. “Of course, Jurrell was a big loss for us,” Simmons said. “He was a great leader on and off the field, especially in the community. When he came to the building, he was just a first-class leader. But at the same time, I don't feel like it’s any pressure on me, personally. I'm a leader myself. I like to lead. Added HC Mike Vrabel: “We're excited about the group that we have moving forward…I think they're well-coached. I think Big T (Terrell Williams) does a great job coaching them and Zak (Kuhr) has helped him out.” Simmons has been using the unconventional offseason to shed some weight with the goal to be a leaner, quicker version of himself during training camp. The 6-foot-4 second-year lineman is currently listed at 304 pounds on the Titans official website. He played much of last year around 320 and has really emphasized easing the amount of weight his surgically repaired knee has to carry. “My goal was to especially cut down the fat on my body,” Simmons said. “I'm not sure exactly where I was at first, but I feel like I've made a big change with my body weight. My knee made a lot of progression from when I first started playing to the end of the season. But at the end, I knew that I needed to do a little more strengthening and just maintenance stuff after the end of the season. Still now, I’m trying to stay on top of it, make sure that I'm just ready to have this team win games. So my body is feeling great; my knee is feeling great.” Simmons attributed a simple diet change and a disciplined attitude

toward improving his health for helping him drop the 15 pounds he’s already lost. “When you’re trying to lose fat, ... you have to be in the right mental (state) to be able to be disciplined in what you eat. At one point, I was cutting off what time I ate at night. Take a lot of responsibility of yourself in trying to maintain a routine that you have. Of course, I changed up my diet a little bit.” A slimmer, quicker Simmons may be just what the Titans need to elevate their defensive line from good to great. ###

RYAN TANNEHILL TANNEHILL RESTRUCTURES DEAL TO MAKE ROOM FOR JONES BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST JUNE 9, 2021 The Tennessee Titans landed quarterback Ryan Tannehill an elite weapon in 32-year-old receiver Julio Jones. So it would make sense that Tannehill would scratch the team’s back since they scratched his. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Tannehill agreed to restructure his contract on Tuesday, converting $23.4 million of his guaranteed base salary into a bonus that will be paid over the next two seasons and adding two voidable years onto the end of his contract. The 32-year-old was set to be the fourth-highest paid quarterback in the NFL in 2021 behind only Aaron Rodgers ($37.2 million), Russell Wilson ($32 million) and Kirk Cousins ($31 million). The move frees up $18.7 million for the Titans, who had about $3.9 million in cap space at the time of the trade and added Jones’ $15.3 million salary on Sunday, which is not fully guaranteed. The seventime Pro Bowler’s salary will drop to $11.5 million in 2022 for the final two years of his current contract. “[I’m] excited to bring Julio on board,” Tannehill said on Sunday following the trade. “To pair him across from A.J. (Brown) on the other side, it’s really a dynamic duo for our wide receivers. Looking forward to what he can bring to the table." Tannehill, who signed a four-year, $118 million contract last offseason, will make just $10.76 million in 2021 but will see that shoot up to $38.6 million in 2022 and $36.6 million in 2023 with $9.37 million in dead cap space in 2024, according to Spotrac.

The Titans have other restructuring options available — for example, Derrick Henry, Rodger Saffold, Taylor Lewan, Kevin Byard — should they need to free up more cap space to add another free agent pass rusher such as Melvin Ingram, Justin Houston or Olivier Vernon. ###

RYAN TANNEHILL DON’T LET THE SMILE FOOL YOU, TANNEHILL A SERIOUS COMPETITOR THE TITANS QUARTERBACK LED THE NFL IN GAME-WINNING DRIVES AND FOURTHQUARTER COMEBACKS DURING THE 2020 REGULAR SEASON. BY IAN KAYANJA SPORTS ILLUSTRATED JANUARY 5, 2021 Don’t be fooled by quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s even-keeled demeanor. He’s one of the fiercest competitors on any football field. Or so says his position coach. “Make no mistake, he is ultracompetitive,” Tennessee Titans quarterback coach Pat O’Hara said Tuesday. “Don’t ever excuse his calm demeanor on the outside from being a fierce competitor. That is something about him that is very evident to me and his teammates.” Tannehill’s competitive streak was on full display Sunday against the Houston Texans. With a division title at stake, he threw for 216 yards and tallied three touchdowns, two rushing and one passing. With the game on the line, he connected with wide receiver A.J. Brown on a 51-yard pass that set up Sam Sloman’s game-winning field goal as times expired. “(It’s) his calm demeanor on the outside and being a fierce competitor,” O’Hara said. “He maintains that even-keel demeanor and that helps him in pressure situations like (Sunday).” Tannehill is no stranger to the big moment. The events of this season leading up to the matchup with the Texans prepared him for his latest fourth-quarter flurry. In the just-completed regular season, he led the NFL with five

fourth-quarter comebacks and six game-winning drives in the fourthquarter or overtime. In games decided by one possession, the Titans went 7-2. The only Tennessee quarterback who has approached that level of late-game production was Vince Young. As a rookie in 2006, he led four fourth-quarter comebacks and five game-winning drives, both of which led the NFL that season. Dating back to when Tannehill first took over as the starter, the Titans are 11-3 in games decided by one possession. He’s a closer. And much like a star relief pitcher in baseball, Tannehill looks forward to the high stakes moment where he can get his team out of a tight jam. “I think it’s fun,” Tannehill said. “I get to do what I dreamed of doing as a kid. I love going out there on a Sunday and competing with guys that I love playing with. I love the competition of it “... I love the game, all of it.” Tannehill’s success can be attributed to his ability to avoid the emotional roller coaster that some ride throughout a game. He remains focused on the current task at hand, staying competitive. And because of that, the Titans found ways to win in close games, in which the outcomes could have varied drastically. “At the end of games, it’s maintaining that calm demeanor, while also being ultra-competitive,” O’Hara said. With Tannehill under center last year, the Titans offense found a new life. That unit went from being shut out by the Denver Broncos on Oct. 13, 2019 to scoring at least 20 points in the next 10 games and more than 30 in five of the final seven. That momentum carried over into the 2020 NFL season, which saw

Tannehill throw for 3,819 yards and a career-high 33 touchdowns. Tannehill and the Titans finished second in the NFL in average yards per game (396.4) and fourth in points per game average (30.7). He’s found freedom within Arthur Smith’s system, and he’s been seen smiling more on the field because of it. “I’ve loved playing the game,” Tannehill said. “I think about what I went through (with) injury, and then through what I went last year, I think I’ve grown a bigger appreciation for enjoying the moment.” A quarterback who isn’t afraid of the big moments is a tremendous advantage in the NFL playoffs. Tannehill’s late-game record proves that he can rise to the occasion, courtesy of an outsized competitive streak. ###

RYAN TANNEHILL TANNEHILL OPENS DOORS TO TEAMMATE BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM MAY 7, 2020 NASHVILLE – Ben Jones is an avid outdoorsman who can rough it with the best of them. Even the Tennessee Titans center has his limits, though. Jones’ home was one of more than 130,000 that lost electricity Sunday night when a rare weather event known as a derecho passed through the city. It was one of the largest power outages on record and as of Thursday morning some still had not had their service restored, including Jones. Not all of those impacted, however, have a teammate like quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who literally opened his doors to the man who will be snapping him the ball this season. “We’re still out of power,” Jones, Tennessee’s starting center for the past four years, said. “[But] I’ve got a great teammate who’s not staying in Nashville right now. So, we’re able to stay at his house. “Tannehill came in clutch for us because it got a little cold (Wednesday).” Tannehill is currently in south Florida, his home for his first seven NFL seasons. With NFL team facilities closed and offseason work happening virtually, he has remained there to prep for his first full season as the Titans’ starter. Jones used his love of outdoor activities to create the Ben Jones Celebrity Clay Shoot four years ago, and the event has raised close to half a million dollars since its creation. He also is an avid hunter and fisherman. Eventually, though, everyone needs their creature comforts.

“We roughed it out for three days,” Jones said. “(Wednesday) night we got to come over here and get some hot water and a little TV actually.” ###

RYAN TANNEHILL TANNEHILL’S EYES OPENED TO SOCIAL INJUSTICE THROUGH FORMER TEAMMATE BY MICHAEL GALLAGHER NASHVILLE POST JUNE 11, 2020 Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard said last week that one of the biggest solutions to helping fix the racial divide and social injustice in society is through education. Byard’s teammate, quarterback Ryan Tannehill, took his words to heart, using his platform to speak out against social injustice and point to the importance of education as a tool to battle racial intolerance. “Education is a big part of it,” Tannehill said. “Educating people, white people, who don’t deal with it [and] to the reality of the situation. Just leveling the playing field. There’s a lot of legislature that’s going to have to get changed. “I think the first step is awareness and education ... on the systematic injustices that have been going on for a long, long time. Once we can have that education, the awareness, then we can all kind of work together toward finding that equality that I’d hope we all want.” Tannehill made a post on his Twitter account on May 27 addressing the murder of George Floyd, stating everyone deserves to feel safe and protected in their communities. Tannehill also said that he wished he would have taken the Black Lives Matter movement more seriously a lot sooner, but his eyes were opened a lot through former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the national anthem and several conversations with former Miami Dolphins teammate Kenny Stills.

learn and experience to grow, and I feel like I’ve done a lot of growing over the past four or five years…I hope to use what I’ve learned, just continue to educate myself, continue to learn and continue to try to push for change and make a difference. “I think my conversations with Kenny (Stills) and just coming to realize what he’s gone through in his life — getting ripped out of a car with his dad and everything stripped out of the car for no reason, weren’t even speeding, left on the side of the road, they were traveling, all their clothes and everything, bags strung out on the side of the road. Things like that where it’s like, I can’t imagine being put in that situation and having to deal with that. You hear stories like that and then he gave me a bunch of resources, books that were written…Then I just started digging more and more into it as time went on. You go from kind of being naïve to the situation because of the [white] privilege, and my eyes kind of got opened to it. It was really kind of a shock for me…I think my views have definitely changed.” While the NFL and the greater society still have a long way to go in addressing racial equality, Tannehill’s openness to have the difficult discussions and willingness to take the time to educate himself on such issues have earned him even more respect from his teammates. “I respect Ryan (Tannehill) to the fullest,” Byard said. “That’s one thing about me, I don’t look at guys as race. Ryan and his family, his wife, have treated my family with nothing but love and I respect him just for the man he is. The fact that he’s speaking and using his voice to uplift others, black, white, or different ... it speaks volumes for his character. I will always treat him based upon that.” ###

“Do I wish I would have known more and been more supportive back in 2016? Yes, 100 percent, but we all make mistakes,” Tannehill continued. “We all have to live and

RYAN TANNEHILL BENGALS COACH HELPED TANNEHILL BECOME THE PLAYER HE IS TODAY BY MIKE HOGAN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED OCTOBER 31, 2020 Familiarity is a storyline every week in the NFL. Some, however, are bigger stories than others. That is the case for Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor this week. The veteran quarterback and the second-year head coach have eight years of experience together, and it all started when both were just trying to find their way in 2008. Tannehill was Texas A&M’s backup quarterback. Taylor, a former quarterback who had a shortlived NFL career, was just starting his coaching career as an offensive assistant of Texas A&M. The pair spent four years together in College Station followed by four more years with the Miami Dolphins (2012-2015). Sunday, they will square off against each other for the first time. “I learned a ton of football from Zac [Taylor],” Tannehill said. “I have so much respect for him, the way he coaches the game, his work ethic, and just how he puts so much time and effort into preparing me each and every week. I definitely learned a lot of football from (Taylor) and am appreciative of all he did for me.” When the Dolphins drafted Tannehill with the eighth overall pick in 2012, so much was familiar for Tannehill. Taylor was his assistant quarterbacks coach, and former Texas A&M head coach Mike Sherman was then the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator. Taylor said it helped Tannehill transition smoothly to life as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

“Certainly, for a rookie to come in and already know everything about the offense from day one helped him right away,” Taylor said on Thursday. “He very well may have won the job anyway had it been a new offense, but of course his familiarity with the offense from day one helped him instruct some of the veteran players on some of the nuances of the offense.” Tannehill had a mostly up-anddown stint in Miami. The Dolphins were nothing more than a mediocre football team, and the quarterback dealt with a handful of injuries that held him back. However, he had his best statistical seasons in Miami in 2015, when Taylor was on the offensive staff as a quarterbacks coach and as the interim offensive coordinator for five games. Tannehill threw for more than 4,000 yards twice (2014, 2015) and at least 20 touchdowns while completing more than 60 percent of his passes in three of those four seasons. The Dolphins decided to revamp their coaching staff at the conclusion of the 2015 campaign. In a way, that also marked the beginning of the end for Tannehill’s time in Miami. He started the 2016 season out hot but sustained a torn ACL in Week 14 and missed the remainder of that season and the Dolphins’ Wild Card playoff game. He again tore his ACL in training camp before the 2017 season and missed the entire season. He appeared in just 11 games in 2018, and the Dolphins traded him to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for draft picks. With the Titans, of course, Tannehill has revived his career. After taking over as starter in Week 6 of the 2019 season, Tannehill led the Titans to seven wins in 10 games en route to the postseason and the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl, was named Comeback Player

of the Year honors and then in the offseason signed a four-year contract extension. Tannehill’s success story has spilled over into this season. Through the first six games, Tannehill has been one of the top quarterbacks in the league, completing 139 passes on 203 attempts for 1,590 yards and 15 touchdowns, which is tied for second among all quarterbacks. None of what has transpired has surprised Taylor, who said Tannehill is “the perfect quarterback for the Tennessee Titans.” “Very happy for him. He’s a great human being, great teammate, very coachable, very hard on himself,” Taylor said. “There is not a lot of weakness to his game. He’s got a lot of strength, and you can just see his confidence right now. The team really believes in him.” And on Sunday, Taylor will try to defeat the player he has built such a strong relationship with for the first time in his career. “He poses a very difficult challenge for us,” Taylor said. “Not only do they have a great running game, great receivers, but they have a quarterback who is playing at one of the highest levels in the league right now. He’s really impressive.” ###

MIKE VRABEL NEED A MINUTE? MIKE VRABEL ASKS PLAYERS TO CONFIDE IN HIM, ALLOWS TIME TO DEAL WITH DISTRACTIONS BY PAUL KUHARSKY PAULKUHARSKY.COM JULY 31, 2021 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Not so long ago, the broad NFL mentality didn’t lend itself to caring much about a player’s personal issues. In 1990 Oilers offensive lineman David Williams stayed home from a game on the road for the birth of his son and Babygate was a national scandal. Missing a game to welcome a child might still be looked down on by some now, but the world has changed and the league has changed with it. Pro sports have evolved to allow a broader understanding of life beyond the game, in many ways that have less visible impacts than missing kickoff. Wives and kids, moms and dads, friends tugging at a player and anything else under the big heading of life that may once not have been allowed to be a factor in the toughguy atmosphere of a facility or practice field are not walled off as much now -- at least not in Nashville. With the Titans, Mike Vrabel considers it a key part of his job to know what’s going on with his guys and make sure they can sort through it to best put their worries aside to most effectively do their jobs. Sure, a player still has to manage his stuff and devote himself to work, but things can’t always stay neatly compartmentalized. Stresses are bound to spill, at least at times, from home-life into the workplace. Vrabel said he’s grown in terms of investing in that part of his relationship with his players.

“I don’t know if that was necessarily the case when I played, but I take that,” he said. “I am very honored to be able to build that trust and know what are the good things going on in a player’s life and what are some of the things that maybe aren’t so good and that we have to work on because we all have it. We all have things that we have to deal with.

“You can let him know something is going on with your family, with your children if you have kids, something is going on back home, or anything,” Lamm said. “That’s a safe space where you can be totally open and he’s going to keep it to himself. Or if you need help and you ask for it, he’s going to get you the help you need.”

“And so I think I have probably put a lot more time into that than I thought I would have, and that is OK because I have enjoyed that just as much as coaching a guy on the field as I have trying to get to know him and help him through his growth as a man, as a brother, as a husband, and as a father.”

Chester Rogers was dinged up last year and spent all but two weeks on the practice squad. He’s making a good showing so far in a bid for a wide receiver spot who can be the punt returner.

Vrabel said he wants players to have someone to go to with any issue, it doesn’t have to be him. I spoke with several Titans about how things work with the team. All indications are that if they have something that they believe will bleed into their day that has the potential to divert their focus, Vrabel is quick to give them the time to go make the call or do what is needed to get things sorted out or reset for the moment. “He tells us he doesn’t want us coming into the meetings distracted by anything,” Brian Hill said. “Just communicate and he’ll be able to comply with it. He doesn’t want us in there worried about family or anything. He wants us in there focused on the meetings.” “I doubt in Vrabes’ days playing it was like that. But he went through that, so I think that is why he is how he is. He knows that sometimes things happen in a family, you need to go take care of that. It’s more complicated than just football.” Said Vrabel, who at Ohio State and for the Steelers, Patriots and Chiefs: "I didn’t have... it was just different." Kendall Lamm called it an open forum of communication.

He played four years with the Colts and spent a little time with the Dolphins before landing in Tennessee last season. “I think we’ve all got a lot of things that we deal with,” he said. “And dealing with football players, there is a lot of pride. But when you’re able to confide in your coaches and knowing that they’ve got you and will allow you to get back to yourself, I think that is very major. I appreciate it a lot. I don’t have that everywhere that I’ve been. “I don’t think that’s the case in different places. It’s a big relief, a lot of comfort.” Vrabel's dad was a high school basketball coach. He grew up around the team, in the middle of pool parties, Christmas parties and Super Bowl parties. When he started as a coach working with the Buckeyes' defensive line, he realized just how much of a parental role he had to take on as part of the job, as part of building trust as asking for all he did from players. And that's extended ever as he's come to work with older players. I wondered if some Titans might be hesitant to approach their coach with something for fear of it seeming like excuse-making. But they do not seem to worry about that. “Guys just feel comfortable talking to him,” Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

MIKE VRABEL said. “I definitely feel something comes up, him. And he’ll trust shooting him straight, him any excuses.”

that way if I can trust that I am not giving

Lamm said he thinks that’s a caseby-case, guy-by-guy basis but said he’d certainly never violate the trust by taking something to Vrabel that didn't deserve to be heard. “I know I wouldn’t (use it that way),” he said. “If something is seriously going on and I tell you that my grandmother needs something, my grandmother really needs it. I would never want to put that bad juju on my grandma.” ###

MIKE VRABEL THINK YOU KNOW MIKE VRABEL? THERE’S A SIDE OF TITANS COACH THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BY DAN POMPEI THE ATHLETIC SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 The Mike Vrabel you think you know said he would cut off a valued body part to win a Super Bowl. Now, when he walks past fans, he hears, “Hey coach, now that you got Julio Jones, get ready to say goodbye to your dick!” The Mike Vrabel you think you know said he would fight every coach in the NFL if it meant the Titans would move up in the NFL standings. The Mike Vrabel you think you know is all pushups, planks and squat thrusts on the sideline three hours before a game. The Mike Vrabel you think you know refuses to acknowledge his 46 years, so he grabs the pads and mixes it up with his players at practice. The Mike Vrabel you think you know talks trash like Conor McGregor. “Little buddy,” he says to receiver A.J. Brown during a training camp practice, “just wait for that tackling drill on Monday, little buddy.” The Mike Vrabel you think you know is Bill Belichick II. How could he not be after playing eight years for him and sharing three Super Bowl victories? So you think you know the bigjawed head coach of the Tennessee Titans. But do you really? With the seventh-best winning percentage among his peers, Vrabel is universally respected as one of the best young coaches in football.

Vrabel often was referred to as coaching material during his 14year NFL playing career as an outside linebacker, as if he were a mahogany tree destined to become a bookcase. But he didn’t think about doing anything after football except watching grass grow.

sidelines, offering cups of water and words of encouragement.

Then on May 30, 2011, Jim Tressell unexpectedly resigned as head coach of Ohio State, and defensive coordinator Luke Fickell became interim head coach. Vrabel had not retired from playing yet, but Fickell, who was Vrabel’s host when he visited Ohio State as a high school recruit and the best man at his wedding, asked him to coach linebackers. How could Vrabel say no?

As a player in the NFL, Vrabel was known as the kind of teammate who lifted all around him. He had to sweat out making the roster as a special-teams contributor the first four years of his career in Pittsburgh. Through force of will, he became a team captain on a dynasty, an All-Pro and a two-way player. And finally, he was a not-as-goodas-he-used-to-be veteran who was valued because of his intangible influence.

When Urban Meyer replaced Fickell the following year, he made Vrabel his defensive line coach. Vrabel relished some aspects of the job that many coaches abhor. “He loved recruiting, going to people’s houses, talking to the parents and kids,” his wife, Jen, says. Once the recruits were his, he fostered the relationships, trying to understand their stories. He wanted to know what made them who they were and what was important to them. The Vrabels hosted the defensive linemen for cookouts and pool parties at their house. It really was a return to Vrabel’s roots. Mike credits his father Chuck Vrabel with teaching him how to be a teammate. Vrabel was playing in a little league baseball game and asked two friends if they would come over afterward to swim and have a sleepover. When Mike told dad that a couple of kids were coming, Chuck said, “Either the whole team is coming, or nobody is coming.” As a sophomore at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Vrabel started on the varsity football team on Friday nights. When his sophomore classmates played Saturday morning, Mike made it a point to be on the

“It didn’t matter that he was the varsity guy,” his father says. “It was more important to him that they were friends … I would say he values friendships above all.”

On the day Belichick traded Vrabel, this is what he said: “Mike Vrabel epitomizes everything a coach could seek in a professional football player: toughness, intelligence, playmaking, leadership, versatility and consistency at the highest level.” He showed qualities, in other words, that could make an exceptional coach. Three years into his coaching career at Ohio State, Vrabel was hired to coach linebackers with the Texans. Bill O’Brien’s program was different from Meyer’s or Belichick’s in that O’Brien welcomed family member involvement. If Vrabel ever became a head coach, he thought, that’s how he would do it. Vrabel became a head-coaching candidate after two years as O’Brien’s linebackers coach and one year as his defensive coordinator. He interviewed with the Colts, Lions and Titans. Most head-coaching candidates are sought after because of cutting-edge strategies or distinguishing runs of success. Not Vrabel. His rapid ascension was about his presence and his human touch.

MIKE VRABEL Titans center Ben Jones texted Vrabel one morning before a practice last spring. He was running late for work because one of his kids had been ill overnight. “Family comes first,” came the reply. The head coach of the Titans makes sure his players know he thinks OTAs are voluntary. Anything else would be hypocritical. Vrabel didn’t always attend OTAs when he was playing. He spent his offseasons in Columbus and prioritized coaching his sons, Tyler and Carter. When he wasn’t coaching, Mike, like many parents in the stands, sometimes had difficulty hiding frustrations. “I was really bad,” he says. “I’d mumble. Every at-bat, I was like, oh, get your elbow up, load your back foot. And I don’t know anything about baseball.” Tyler had been a defensive lineman, but he was not a natural. That was unexpected because he is “the son of.” Jen says it was “a disaster” when Mike watched Tyler play football early in his high school days. “I’d tell him you don’t always have to say everything that comes to your head,” she says. “You don’t have to say it aloud. You can think it and not say it.” Tyler came to work with his father at the Texans’ offices and got to know Jones, who was on the Texans at the time, guard David Quessenberry and offensive line coach Mike Devlin. They brought Tyler into their offensive line world, and it felt like home to him. He sat in their position group meetings, participated in their drills and lifted weights with them. Tyler became an offensive lineman when he began his senior year of high school. He’s now a senior starter at left tackle for Boston College and an NFL prospect.

It took time for Mike to understand Tyler’s struggles weren’t his struggles or a reflection of him. Something clicked when Vrabel heard ESPN’s Mark Schlereth say the only thing you should tell your kids about their sports is you can’t wait to see them play.

quarterback, Carter couldn’t understand the play call. He was frustrated and angry. His parents tried everything to help him and to help themselves, even family counseling. It was, in Jen’s words, a “long struggle.”

“Now I watch the game probably how my grandma used to watch me,” he says. “I just watch Tyler. I don’t even know if it’s a good play or bad play, I just watch him. Then I’ll be like, ‘What happened on the play? Was it a completed pass?'”

The NFL gives much to its players and takes much in return. Vrabel wonders what moving so much during his playing career took from his family. “I think,” Vrabel says and then pauses. Deep breath. “I think sometimes Carter gets the short end of the stick.”

Tyler, offensive tackle, is his own man now. So is Carter, a third baseman at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tenn. Whereas Mike is clean-cut, both sons have long hair and full sleeve tattoos on their arms. Carter wears earrings. “We try to support them and love them, but that’s who they are,” Mike says.

Once Vrabel was settled in Columbus as an assistant at Ohio State, he thought he was in the best place for Carter, so the plan was to stay there. It was with trepidation that he took the job with the Texans, and initially, Carter struggled with it. But over time, Carter found teachers in Houston and then in Nashville who brought out his best.

Letting go can be challenging for parents whose children are coming into their own. It also can be challenging for head coaches. Vrabel has come to terms with having less direct control over games as a head coach than he did as a linebacker. Now, he thinks of himself as an “influencer” of his team rather than an authoritarian.

Carter is in a good place now. So is his family.

He tries to communicate to his players in different ways so his message is understood by everyone. Vrabel knows not every player can absorb the game plan by looking at play diagrams or sitting in a classroom. His appeal to Titans owner Amy Adams resulted in a “mobile classroom” in the Titans’ indoor facility that enables players to walk through plays while watching tape on 12-foot screens on wheels. Vrabel is sensitive about learning issues. In grammar school, Carter, who has a bold nature like his father, didn’t read as well as was expected. He found it difficult to sit at a desk all day. It took him hours to do 30 minutes of homework. As a

Everybody, Vrabel knows well, is dealing with something in their life. Vrabel makes it a point to know what that something is for every player and coach on his team. “One thing I’m proud of and grateful for is when I stand up in front of the team, there will be many players sitting very closely to one another who all have shared something with me, or I know they are dealing with something,” Vrabel says. “It’s a parent who’s sick, a child they haven’t seen. They may not know that a person sitting five feet away from them is dealing with the same thing. But I do because I’ve had conversations with them.” Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons couldn’t play for the first seven games of his rookie season in 2019 because he was recovering from a torn ACL. Being on the sidelines was an emotional challenge. It’s the kind of struggle most players keep to themselves. Simmons shared it with his head coach.

MIKE VRABEL “Sometimes I went in his office and shed a couple tears because it was so stressful and I wanted to be the best,” Simmons says. “He’d listen and talk to me.” Some coaches close their doors and want players to communicate with them through predetermined channels. There are no barriers to Vrabel, who is all over the building, touching as many people as he can. It was difficult for him — “miserable” was the word he used — to be quarantined in his basement for 10 days after recently testing positive for COVID-19. Even though Vrabel had only mild symptoms, he was cut off from that which feeds him.

“She knows a lot about the game,” Vrabel says of his wife, who was a volleyball setter for the Buckeyes and still is sixth in all-time assists at the school. “She has seen me play over 200 football games. She’s seen me, coach. I think she has a good grasp on what you need, the decisions we make. We have conversations about the game, the team, what the message should be.” Jen encourages him to focus more on the journey and less on the destination. He is good at reveling in the moment. Laughter follows him down hallways, through the locker room, in and out of meeting rooms and onto the grass.

Vrabel, like O’Brien, enjoys having kids around. When Titans strength coach Frank Piraino brings his baby Milo around, Vrabel asks to hold him.

“He has called me ‘Fat Boy’ from day one,” Jones says. “It don’t matter if I’m walking into church or lunch. I hear it from across the room. But it goes both ways.”

Vrabel encourages his assistants to take time off to see their kids’ games in the offseason. “If they have something to go to at 3, I want them to get out of here,” he says.

On Vrabel’s birthday, Jones pranks his coach. Once, it was a cream pie in the face. Another time it was a bowl of oatmeal over his head. He got him with baby powder, too — that was a good one.

Before camp started, Vrabel had a pool party for his coaches and their families at his home. Another day, he had the team’s rookies over. He made chicken wings with a dry rub on his Green Egg. Vrabel fancies himself a grill master and hones his craft with help from TikTok. On “TikTok Tuesdays” he prepares dinner with a TikTok recipe.

Whenever Jones is in the building, he stops by to say hello. They might grab lunch together. If it’s a slow day in the offseason, they’ll sneak out for a round of golf. This is an unusual head coachplayer dynamic, but it works because of trust and mutual respect. Jones says he wants his children to be as respectful to everyone as the head coach is.

“It’s a stupid pleasure,” he says. “He’s addicted,” Jen says. Whereas Jen asks Mike for advice on her fantasy football team, Mike asks her advice on the Titans. They met as Ohio State freshmen in a time management class and have been together since. Mrs. Vrabel undoubtedly has an influence over the team that is favored to win the AFC South.

Vrabel was working with Simmons on a pass rush drill, and Simmons didn’t get his hands up high where they should have been. Vrabel subsequently punched Simmons in his chin with a hand shield. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, Vrabel showed the video to the whole team the next day for their amusement. “I told him we’d get our matchup again eventually,” Simmons says.

“We talk a lot of trash to each other.” Although Vrabel sometimes acts like he’s the same age as his players, no one dares try to take advantage of him. What he tells his players is he will treat them the way they treat the team. “The relationships allow him to have that back and forth with the players and at the same time hold them accountable,” says Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, who previously worked with Vrabel as a graduate assistant at Ohio State and as a quality control coach in Houston. “He’s demanding. He really is.” In practice, Vrabel insists that all his players go “two stripes,” or 10 yards, once a receiver catches a ball or a ball carrier takes off. When Vrabel sees a player not finishing a play or loafing, the response is immediate and forceful. If he catches it on tape, he calls out the player in a team meeting and uses a red dot from a laser pointer as a weapon. The Titans respect what he says, and they respect what his media guide bio says. How could they not? But Vrabel does not expect a free pass because of his yesterdays. Vrabel is in prove-it mode when he grabs the pads and gets physical with his players in practice. And when he’s in prove-it mode, everyone else had better be as well. There are many benefits, the way Vrabel sees it. It is impactful for players to learn technique from the head coach. There is no better way to evaluate than to line up against someone. How better to bond? It provides opportunities for him to give players a piece of his heart, and a piece of his mind. Before Simmons was healthy enough to participate in practice, he worked with Vrabel for about 40 minutes every day. “I did my rehab in the morning, and when the time came to do some

MIKE VRABEL hands-on stuff, it was with no one else, it was with Vrabes,” Simmons says. “Being a young player especially, you feel like you are gaining something, especially coming from a head coach being hands-on. That’s how I gained all my respect for coach Vrabes. I feel like he might still like to be a player the way he wants to take contact on.” At night, Vrabel’s knee aches, and his Achilles gets tight. That’s what ice is for. “You guys always seem to try to hit that pad harder when I’m holding it or wearing it,” he yells to his players. “You should hit the guy on Sunday as hard as you hit me.” The Mike Vrabel you think you know is sounding like Belichick. If you didn’t know better, it could be the voice of the Patriots coach, not the Titans coach. “Say what you want,” he says. “I’m just telling ya, this is what he’s going to do. I’m just telling ya, this is what they are going to fucking do.” This is his Belichick imitation. But sometimes, his words sound like Belichick’s without trying. “It’s only natural to hear a voice for eight years that you say some of those things,” he says. He tries to be like Belichick in how he pays attention to detail, the way he prepares for every possibility, and how he stresses accountability. “I try to explain to the players that I coach you how I’ve always been coached,” Vrabel says. “There are a lot of things I learned from Bill.” Jen says her husband and Belichick are very different people, but she can see Belichick’s influence on him. “Mike is like him with the media — doesn’t want to say anything to anybody, and he thinks it’s kind of funny,” she says.

The point that has been missed with Vrabel is his image has been shaped — and misshaped — by his sense of humor. When Vrabel said he would cut off that valued body part, he was joking around on a podcast hosted by two of his players, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. The fight talk began because John Harbaugh and Vrabel exchanged words during a pregame skirmish last year between the Ravens and Titans. Then before a playoff rematch between the teams, ESPN’s Dianna Russini light-heartedly asked Vrabel who would win a fight between him and Harbaugh, drawing a laugh from Vrabel and his comment about being willing to fight every coach if it made a difference in winning. “John Harbaugh and I were laughing about this in the offseason,” Vrabel says now. “The one thing he and I wanted to make a point of emphasis about this year was taunting. And here our teams are like nose to nose with each other, and the two of us are pushing for taunting rules. I have nothing but respect for the coaches in this league and especially John Harbaugh.” The ultimate team player isn’t doing pushups on the 10-yard line before games anymore because he doesn’t want the cameras on him. “Sundays are not about the coach,” he says. “So I’ll figure out something else to do.” Vrabel has coached the Titans to three straight winning seasons. He might not have to cut off a valued body part to get to where he wants to be. The real way to get there, he knows, is less startling. “This will only be my fourth year, so we’re trying to build something here, build some consistency, have an identity, understand what our culture should look like, and continue to host playoff games and make playoff runs,” he says. His wife says Vrabel is learning it’s about more than winning or losing.

“Sometimes, I am like, ‘Can we just play a game with the family, and if you don’t win, you’re not mad?'” she says. “That’s a part of him, but it’s a part we’re working on.” While he works on it, Vrabel knows grilling chicken wings for rookies and holding babies will only get him so far. “You are never going to get the ‘Attaboy, what a great guy,’ unless you win,” he says. “You can impact lives and I think you can be real and honest and empathetic and try to help guys, but you also have to win.” After Vrabel said he would cut off a valued body part, he added that Jen gladly would do it for him. A priest friend texted Jen shortly after. “Is everything OK?” the priest asked, prompting chuckles. Yes, everything is OK. Better than OK. People just don’t know Mike Vrabel. ###

MIKE VRABEL VRABEL CALLS FOR INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, OPPORTUNITY' BY DAVID BOCLAIR SI.COM JUNE 2, 2020 NASHVILLE – Mike Vrabel admits that he did not see the issue clearly. For the last two days, though, the Tennessee Titans coach decided to listen. In an unscheduled address to the local media, he indicated that team meetings this week have included a great deal of discussion about current events, particularly the death of George Floyd while in custody of Minneapolis police officers and the public protests that have followed. “I’d like to acknowledge a social blind-spot that either I was unaware of or chose not to see,” Vrabel said. “I’ve had the unbelievable opportunity to listen to our players the last two days in our team meetings. Listen to them with an open mind and hear and learn what they believe in and how they feel. “… And by listening and understanding those thoughts and feelings and how they feel has helped me recognize – I think – what’s important. And what’s important is that we find ways to respect each others’ feelings, that we respect each others’ beliefs, that we respect each others’ efforts to make positive change in our community where we work, the communities where we live and the communities where we grew up.” Three assistant coaches – all of defense – were scheduled to meet with the media Tuesday afternoon, and they did so. The discussed a variety of issues related to the team, the coaching staff and individual players. At the start, however, Vrabel joined the video conference and delivered an address that lasted just shy of four minutes and departed without taking questions. In his remarks, he

talked about the definition of leadership, the role race relations play in a sports locker room and his vision for how the social issues that currently dominate the conversation and can be resolved. Roughly two hours earlier the team's official Twitter account posted an item that showed players gathered in an on-field huddle and included a caption that denounced racism. “Being an only child of a basketball coach, playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs afforded me a great luxury of seeing how successful locker rooms are built and managed,” he said. “They’re built and managed on fair competition, love, loyalty, accountability, teamwork. What they’re not built on is race, creed, color or money. “… After the past couple days of personal reflection and some really great conversations with our owner, Miss Amy [Adams Strunk], and our general manager, Jon Robinson, and most especially our football team, … I’d like to acknowledge my own personal privilege, one that’s real. … Amy, Jon and myself have tried to put great people and great fathers and great husbands and great student-athletes on to our football team. And the majority of those men are African American, with a much different experience and background than I’ll ever know.” He finished with a not-so-subtle challenge to government officials at all levels. “I would say that – in closing – leaders are prepared, leaders take decisive action and inspire a group of people towards a common goal,” Vrabel said. “That common goal is inclusion, diversity, equality, opportunity. So, on behalf of the Tennessee Titans – our owner, our general manager, the head football coach, our staff – we want to support and will continue to help lead our players as we work towards that common goal.” ###

MIKE VRABEL TITANS’ VRABEL DETERMINED TO KEEP SUICIDE-PREVENTION MESSAGE GOING: 'PEOPLE ARE THERE FOR YOU' BY MIKE JONES USA TODAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 If you or someone you know may be struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800273-TALK (8255) any time day or night, or chat online. Mike Vrabel couldn’t let the call for help go unanswered. Not this one. Like countless others, the request for assistance reached the inbox of the Tennessee Titans head coach. But this message from the Jason Foundation -- a Tennessee-based mission dedicated to preventing youth suicide -- grabbed Vrabel, and the coach concluded that he had to act. Since 2000, the Titans had donated proceeds from their specialized license plate program to the Jason Foundation and nine other Nashville-area charities. But when broached about lending his voice to the cause, Vrabel eagerly obliged, determined to help fight the “Silent Epidemic.” Throughout September (which is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month), he lent time and resources to the Jason Foundation. He also has done a series of public service announcements as part of the organization’s educational programs geared toward equipping young people, educators and parents with tools and resources to help identify and assist at-risk youth. Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel wants to keep the message of suicide prevention going all year round. But as September draws to a close, Vrabel doesn’t want the message to fade into obscurity. Although the

Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month campaigns may end, the coach intends to remain vocal about preventing suicide. “It’s something that’s critically important, not only to the suicide prevention, but the mental health and well-being of our adolescents,” Vrabel told USA TODAY Sports in an interview last Friday. “I’ve got a 20-year-old son and an 18-year-old son, and obviously, the environment they are growing up in is different than the environment that I grew up in with the social media and the make-believe that’s portrayed on those avenues. “So, I really want to spread awareness and try to help prevent what is the second-leading cause of death in people 10 to 24 years old.” The mission is important to Vrabel, not only because he’s the father to young men but also because of two painful experiences within his football family. In 2012, Hall of Fame linebacker and New England Patriots teammate Junior Seau took his own life. Vrabel still remembers the day he learned of Seau’s death. Then an assistant coach at Ohio State, Vrabel was on a recruiting trip in Indianapolis. Vrabel recalled, “It was a pretty traumatic experience for all of us. … He was a great teammate and I was lucky to have spent time with him.” Then, in the June 2019, one of the Titans’ equipment assistants, George Cheng, died by suicide, shaking members of the organization. When the Titans players returned to the area for training camp roughly a month later, Vrabel, who attended the 28-year-old Cheng’s funeral, began talking with his players about the importance of communication and accountability as tools to help prevent suicide. A year later, the partnership with the Jason Foundation has strengthened Vrabel’s resolve and message to his

players, the team’s fans and his sons. “The one thing that the Jason Foundation has tried to educate parents and teachers about: what the warning signs could be. If you’re not sure, you have to make sure. Or, you’re telling someone else, ‘I’m not sure about so-and-so.’ It’s not unlike a player that may have had on the field with a head injury. You tell someone, ‘Hey, I’m not sure, but he’s not seeming like himself.’” As Vrabel points out, simple checkins with loved ones can wind up making a difference. So, whether with his children, former teammates or Titans players, he makes a point of keeping those lines of communication open, while also maintaining transparency. “It’s about providing a safe space for them to talk,” Vrabel said, discussing talks with his sons. “I think it’s important to share my own personal feelings and fears. Again, I’ve learned through my own communication and therapy that when you’re in the river, one side is anxiety and one side is depression and you’re trying to steer clear of those. You’re trying to steer clear of worrying about the past and trying not to worry about what could happen wrong in the future. You’re trying to focus on the present.” The coach understands the mental anguish that isolation and loneliness can create. And that’s part of the reason why immediately after his playing days, he got into coaching, believing that maintaining an active life would help guard against depression. He encourages healthy habits, but more than anything, he hopes to convey the message that it’s always okay and important to reach out to others for help. “Suicide is not the answer to a bad day or a bad week, and if you feel hopeless or sad, there’s someone willing to help you, to listen, to talk to you,” Vrabel urges. “Whether it’s a coach, a teacher, your parents or an aunt, uncle or a friend, you have to understand that there are always

MIKE VRABEL people that will be there for you no matter how bad you feel.” ###

RASHAD WEAVER TITANS’ RASHAD WEAVER SAYS HIS MOM WON’T PAY HIS PHONE BILL ANYMORE: ‘I FEEL BETRAYED’ DANIELLA MEDINA THE TENNESSEAN JULY 2, 2021 Are you still on your family's cell phone plan? Tennessee Titans' defensive end Rashad Weaver was. Up until Wednesday. Weaver's mother, Autumn DeLaPorte, told him he would need to pay for his phone bill since he's in the NFL now, Weaver tweeted. "My mom decided today, on her birthday she wanted to break 23 years of trust and bond we had built...." Weaver tweeted. "By telling me I'm in the NFL and I need to pay for my own phone bill. "I feel betrayed," he said. Weaver, 23, was drafted by the Titans in the fourth round with the No. 135 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The former Pitt standout missed the entire 2019 season with a knee injury, but bounced back in 2020 and earned honors including All-America and first-team ACC. According to Spotrac, an online sports team and player contract resource, Weaver signed a four-year $4,139,664 contract with the Titans. His average salary is $1,034,916. One day before the NFL Draft, the Fort Lauderdale native was charged with misdemeanor assault in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, court records show. Weaver was among the draft picks to participate at rookie minicamp, Titans coach Mike Vrabel said in May. “Everything I've seen from Rashad here in person, he's been one who's been attentive and wants to try to be a good teammate and is taking

coaching,” Vrabel told reporters when asked if he feels Weaver fits the team’s culture. “We understand the severity of the accusations. We take them very seriously, but we're also going to allow the legal process to play its part and run its course." Weaver is due in court for a preliminary hearing on the charge in October. ###

RASHAD WEAVER TITANS ROOKIE OLB RASHAD WEAVER FOCUSED ON IMPROVING, WHILE HIS TEAMMATES HYPE HIM UP BY JIM WYATT TENNESSEE TITANS AUGUST 16, 2021 NASHVILLE – Just minutes after the Titans selected Rashad Weaver in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, the outside linebacker gave his own draft day critique. Weaver, a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award (presented to the national defensive player of the year) during his final season at Pittsburgh, said he felt like the Titans got the biggest steal of the draft. In his preseason debut against the Falcons, Weaver made quite a first impression as he began to make his case. "Honestly, after the game I was pretty confused," Weaver said with a smile on Sunday. "In college, I was nervous before games, but I was super-relaxed out there (in Atlanta). I was just like, 'There's nothing to lose, just go out there and have fun, play, and show what you've got." While playing 39 snaps, Weaver showed he's pretty talented. In Tennessee's 23-3 win over the Falcons, Weaver was credited with 1.5 sacks, two quarterback hits, three tackles, and one tackle for a loss in the contest, and he also batted down a pass Weaver said the coaching staff told him to let go of the stress, and play. "Just getting the green light from Coach Vrabel and the coaches, to just go hard, go play, and we'll fix the stuff on film," Weaver said. "When someone tells you that, they just want to see you play hard with effort, you can just go out there and run around full speed and make good things happen."

Weaver, selected with the 135th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, missed the entire 2019 season due to a torn ACL injury. The injury followed a 2018 season when Weaver started all 14 games and compiled 47 tackles, 14 TFLs, 6.5 sacks, four pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. Weaver said he learned a lot of patience, and a lot about himself, while recovering from the injury, and in 2020 he exploded back on the scene while earning consensus All‐ America status last season with the Panthers from four of the NCAA's recognized selectors: Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and Walter Camp Football Foundation. In nine games in 2020, Weaver (64, 259) totaled 35 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He led the ACC in sacks per game (0.83 avg.) and tackles for loss per game (1.61 avg.). His new teammates with the Titans were impressed with his NFL debut. "Those guys are always messing with me, so they're hyping me up and stuff," Weaver said with a smile. "And I am just like, 'Chill, I've got to stay level-headed.' And they are like, 'It's OK to be happy and smile.' I am walking around here just trying to stay focused and keep (working) each day." Weaver, of course, knows he still has a lot of work to do. He's still learning, and he's trying to improve so he'll be ready to make an impact during the regular season. When Weaver watches himself on film, he sees plenty of room for improvement. He knows he's just getting started. "That goes back to college, the way we ran our d-line room," Weaver said. "I constantly look at what I

need to work on. Even plays that I made, (I look) at what I did wrong and could have done better, because there's always going to be better competition, or someone that is going to be prepared for the next play. "So you have to prepare yourself for those plays when it is not that easy. I always look at what I can do better." ###

LOGAN WOODSIDE TITANS OFFSEASON AWARD WINNERS LOGAN WOODSIDE, RASHAAN EVANS, RASHARD DAVIS POISED FOR BIGGER ROLES BY ERIK BACHARACH THE TENNESSEAN AUGUST 5, 2020 Quarterback Logan Woodside, wide receiver Rashard Davis and inside linebacker Rashaan Evans were named the Titans’ offseason performers of the year, coach Mike Vrabel said on a Zoom conference call Wednesday. In trying to determine the significance of the offseason awards, it’s worth taking a quick glance back at the 2019 winners and observing what it meant for each of them. In 2019, during a much more traditional offseason, Vrabel and his staff named four winners: quarterback Marcus Mariota, running back David Fluellen, wide receiver Cameron Batson and defensive lineman Matt Dickerson. Mariota: This was another endorsement of Mariota in the leadup to a make-or-break season for him in Nashville. We know how it panned out – Mariota is now playing for the Raiders – but with rumors swirling about a quarterback competition between Mariota and Ryan Tannehill in the 2019 offseason (spoiler: there actually was none), this was yet another nod in favor of Mariota. Fluellen: Vrabel handpicked Fluellen for an offseason award in 2019. If there was any doubt about the running back’s chances of making the roster (and what the coaching staff thought of him), this helped to dispel that notion. Batson: Batson entered training camp competing with Darius Jennings for the No. 6 wide receiver spot. An offseason award seemed to point to Batson having a real shot at upstaging Jennings, who in 2018 led

the league in kickoff returns. But an injury suffered in training camp prevented Batson from making such a push.

played some for us, made a couple big catches down the stretch. I think he’s really put a lot into it,” Vrabel said at the time.

Dickerson: Dickerson played in three games as a rookie in 2018 after signing with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, but he was by no means a lock to make the 53-man roster out of training camp in 2019. His offseason award was the first indication that he was well on his way to doing so.

Titans wide receiver Rashard Davis (12) warms up before a game against the Texans at NRG Stadium last season.

As for the 2020 offseason, things were different. There were no organized team activities, no minicamp. Instead, a lot of virtual meetings. Still, Vrabel and his staff were able to determine three winners.

The Titans have their top three receivers locked in with A.J. Brown, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries, and Kalif Raymond looks like the No. 4 for now. But beyond that, it’s wide open. Rashard Davis should be considered very much in the mix for the last two spots on the wide receiver depth chart as he clashes with Batson, Cody Hollister and a handful of undrafted free agents. Rashaan Evans

"We couldn’t evaluate many guys and the efforts that they put in outside of Zoom," Vrabel said. "So we just kind of had to give it some thought and (our) observations throughout those meetings, guys that showed leadership and improvement through the course of our installation." Logan Woodside This one shouldn’t come as a surprise. Titans coaches and even players have been singing Woodside’s praises all offseason in the lead-up to what will be an important training camp for the 25year-old. Woodside, who has yet to be on an active NFL roster, has a chance to cement his role as the team’s backup to Tannehill. Titans general manager Jon Robinson could look to bring in a veteran quarterback through free agency as more of a reliable safety net for Tannehill, but all indications so far point to the QB2 job being Woodside’s to win. Rashard Davis Another one that shouldn’t come as a surprise, at least not after Vrabel’s Zoom conference call with reporters in June, when he gave Davis an unsolicited shoutout. "A young receiver that we had last year that

The Titans aren’t bring back Wesley Woodyard, Jurrell Casey or Logan Ryan to their defense in 2020. In terms of leadership, that’s three big blows. But Evans, the team’s first-round pick in 2018 and top returning tackler from a year ago, appears well equipped to take up a part of the leadership mantle. The offseason award is an endorsement of that. ###
