Something nice for Tennessee Titans Pro Bowler Taylor Lewan today.

Tennessee Titans Pro Bowl left tackle, Taylor Lewan gets recognized as one of the greats by fellow NFL players.

It is hard to ignore Lewan on or off the field, and he and Kevin Byard are probably the faces of the franchise nationally despite the soft spoken Marcus Mariota being the quarterback.

Watch the announcement here:

Whether it is teammates, the boys, All-Pros from rival schools (shout out Joey Bosa), or Lewan himself, everyone seems to have a ton of respect for the perennial Pro Bowler.

The bittersweet part about all this is that Lewan was tested for PEDs last year and was completely clean when these plays happened. However, because of a tainted batch or a company lying about what they put in their supplements, Lewan’s body of work is now in doubt.

On a day where one random drug test before the season even starts threatens to tarnish his legacy, he is also recognized as one of the best at his position by his teammates and fellow NFL players.

Enough of that, here is a list of the 80-71 on the list from tonight:

More from Titan Sized

80: Mark Ingram, RB

79: Geno Atkins, DT

78: Kirk Cousins, QB

77: Taylor Lewan, OT

76: Robert Woods, WR

75: Gerald McCoy, DT

74: Leighton Vander Esch, LB

73: Stefon Diggs, WR

72: Jason Kelce, OC

71: C.J. Mosley, LB

It is fitting that Lewan makes it to #77 a few nights after Derrick Henry checks in at #99 after his record breaking 99-yard run. Maybe the Tennessee Titans need to seriously consider drafting some players with single digits in next year’s draft.
