Power Ranking the Tennessee Titans: Part 5

Number 2: Taylor Lewan

T – #77 – 6’7 309lbs – Exp. 4 – Michigan – 2014 Draft 1st Round Pick

Now, I’d like to start this one by stressing that these players are all just freakishly talented people. People like you and me who have their own set of beliefs and morals aside from the game of football. That being said, I have a little story I’d like to tell about Taylor Lewan, the person apart from the player. When I was 17, I had been at the hotel that the Titans players were staying at before a game in Nashville. All of the players rolled through and I was lucky enough to shake some players’ hands and talk to them. Lewan, however, stood out.

Most of the players were focused on getting to their room to get some rest. Our stud left tackle treated me like he was meeting a new friend. My family was sitting nearby and he took so much interest in me, this random kid in his hotel, that he proceeded to walk over to my family and introduce himself. “Hey, I’m Taylor” he said. Little did my family know that they were talking to one of the best leaders and offensive lineman in the game. His competitive presence and simple people skills makes him doubly as valuable because of how much he makes his teammates the best they can be. I’ll say one thing for sure: the next guy on this list is extremely lucky to have a blocker and a friend like Taylor Lewan.

Stat Projection: Let’s see another TD for the big guy!
