The Tennessee Titans have some Pro Bowlers on the roster.
The 2019 NFL Pro Bowl voting has started, so it is time to really start thinking about which players deserve a nod.
There are four different catagories that I ended up with: No brainers, probably in, need to finish strong, and should be but wont be:
All in all I ended up with 11 players that make sense.
No Brainers

Kevin Byard, FS
-Byard is a top-3 safety in the NFL and he is definitely the top safety in the AFC in my opinion. His two interceptions don’t lead the NFL right now, but don’t let that mask how well he is playing this year.
Byard is one of a handful of safeties in the NFL that can do everything and he is doing them all at a higher level than nearly everyone else.
Jurrell Casey, DT
-Casey is one of only a few Titans on this roster with name value and the tape to back it up right now. Again, ignore the sack total and look at what the defense is doing as a whole. That is largely because even though he doesn’t always get the sack he usually forces the QB off his spot or affects the running lanes for the running back.
Darius Jennings, KR
-Honestly, I didn’t think that Jennings deserved a spot on the roster before this season started. I was clearly wrong because Jennings is far and away the best returner in the NFL. As of today he leads the NFL in return yards by more than 5 yards per attempt.
He is one of three kick returners to have a return TD and he seems to be a real threat to take it 50 yards every time he touches it.
Probably In
Jayon Brown, LB
-The only reason for Brown to miss the Pro Bowl is because people don’t watch the Titans. He is an impact player in every phase of the game and I am not sure of a linebacker to come out in the draft in the last few years that I would rather take than Brown.
Adoree Jackson, CB
-To be a young player on a small market team, it takes a lot to get into the Pro Bowl. Usually that means a lot of highlight plays like Kevin Byard had last year, but sometimes one dominant performance against a team like the Patriots is enough to make people pay attention.
Jackson was a true CB1 this past week and he has been great his entire career. Maybe now he will finally get the respect he deserves.

Need to Finish Strong
Corey Davis, WR
-A lot of this is because the AFC has weak WRs. Despite already having his bye and having to play a game with Blaine Gabbert, Davis is still 12th in the AFC in receiving yards.
At his current pace it wouldn’t be hard to end up in the top-8 and while some in front of him are slot players that thrive off of bad coverage, he is drawing double coverage or tough one-on-ones every single week.
Wesley Woodyard, LB
-Woodyard missed two games and still has 3.5 sacks and 4 TFLs. While he that isn’t necessarily eye popping, as the Titans schedule gets easier it wouldn’t shock me to see him break 8 sacks and 10 TFLs which is a great year.
Ryan Succop, K
-Succop is great, but he hasn’t quiet had a great year. He has still been really good, but with the offense so futile for most of the season his numbers are down a little. With the offense finally picking up I could see him becoming a lot more relevant.
Should be, but won’t be
Kenny Vaccaro, SS
-Vaccaro isn’t being talked about, but when he is on the field compared to any other safety there is such a huge difference in how the entire defense plays that it is impossible to argue that he isn’t important.
He has highlight plays and he is allowing Byard to be more aggressive which is all coming together to turn this defense into the top unit in the NFL.
Brett Kern, P
-For my money Kern is the best punter in the AFC and maybe top two or three in the NFL. Kern is top-5 in punt average and has only had two touchbacks all year. He is great, but usually every team votes their own punter and so even though he has been very good, the Titans aren’t a big enough fan base (in terms of historical Pro Bowl voting) to get him there.
Daren Bates, ST
-Bates is so fun to watch because for years the Titans had Tim Shaw and Patrick Bailey who were special teams greats. Now, fans have Bates who brings that energy and efficiency to special teams that prevents fans from having a panic attack every time the other team returns a kick or punt.
