With the end of 2019 on the horizon, let’s take a look back at the top four Tennessee Titans safeties of the decade.
It’s been an underwhelming 10 years for the Tennessee Titans franchise.
While most years ended in disappointment or mediocrity at best, one bright spot for the Titans has been the safety position. The organization has done a phenomenal job drafting free safety talent and has brought in some studs to compete on the strong side.
One common denominator among all of these players is their physicality. This speaks volumes to the overall identity of the Titans’ club. Tennessee has always valued players for their grit and determination, their underdog mentality, and their will to dominate opponents physically.
That’s what these guys share. A former Super Bowl champion Baltimore Raven, two first-round draft picks out of Texas with a penchant for laying the hammer, and an underrated ball-hawk out of MTSU. These four make up the top safeties for the Tennessee Titans in the past ten years. Let’s dig in, shall we?
