Jim Wyatt calls Alabama tandem the Titans “Most Feared” players
By Will Lomas
Titans have a scary duo in Rashaan Evans and Derrick Henry.
You probably already know that the Tennessee Titans have spent a lot of premium picks on SEC players since Jon Robinson has taken over.
Since his first draft in 2016, he has selected an SEC player in the first one of the first two rounds of every draft except for 2017.
In fact, if you look at it like a trend you can see that Robinson has become more and more confident in his evaluation of SEC players as time has gone on outside of that blip in 2017:
2016: Four picks in the 1st or 2nd round, one SEC player selected (Derrick Henry)
2017: No SEC players selected
2018: Two picks in the 1st or 2nd round, one SEC player selected (Rashaan Evans)
2019: Two picks in the 1st or 2nd round, two SEC players selected (Jeffery Simmons, A.J. Brown)
2020: Two picks in the 1st or 2nd round, two SEC players selected (Isaiah Wilson, Kristian Fulton)
With that influx of SEC talent, there is a new attitude and success in this franchise that was missing for a long time. Now that isn’t all because of SEC talent, but it has certainly helped change the attitude and culture in the locker room.
One school, in particular, has changed the identity of the Titans, and that is the Alabama Crimson Tide.
