Logan Ryan

2018 Stats: 76 Tackles, 4 Sacks, 8 Pass Breakups, 0 Interceptions.

Logan Ryan is arguably the Titans’ most efficient and consistent corner. Ryan especially makes his mark as one of the best slot defensive backs in the league. Ryan lines up against the league’s best slot receivers on a weekly basis and consistently holds his own.

In 2018, Ryan allowed 0.84 yards per coverage snap from the slot. Fifth best among defensive backs. Ryan isn’t the most flashy corner in the league, but what he lacks in headlines, he makes up for in production.

The former Rutgers star not only produces in coverage, but he is arguably the best blitzing DB on the team. Ryan finished with 4.0 sacks, while the Titans’ secondary finished with a franchise-best 9.0 sacks as a unit.

If Ryan and the rest of the secondary are able to duplicate their production from 2018 in 2019, this Titans defense will once again be in the conversation as one of the best defenses in the league.
