4. ILB Jayon Brown

After a breakout sophomore season, Brown has really come into his own in 2019.

He currently has 37 tackles on the season, as well as four pass deflections, and like Landry, had his best game of the season against the Falcons, picking up seven tackles, one pass defense, three QB hits, and his lone sack of the season.

While he is a solid coverage linebacker, he thrives when blitzing, getting five total pressures so far this season on 14 blitzes.

He was injured early on in the 16-0 loss to the Denver Broncos, leaving the game due to a groin injury, and missed this past Sunday’s game against the Chargers because of it.

The Titans hope that Brown is able to come back this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though his status at this time is unknown.

The sooner the play-making linebacker can return to the lineup, the better.
