When I said the biggest name, I meant the biggest name, and Tennessee Titans fans should be very excited that Tart is making a name for himself early in camp.

Vrabel called Teair Tart one of the winners from the offseason, which has historically meant that he is one of the guys that has gone above and beyond what the coaches asked him to do to stay engaged and to stay in shape.

It is hard to quantify what guys like Teair Tart and former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle DaQuan Jones do for a defense, but last year the Titans’ tackles were the only group consistently making plays on the field for the defense.

With the addition of Denico Autry, Tart should be able to focus on playing inside in the A-gaps and getting better at that instead of what he was doing last year which was just trying to find any way to break through into the game-day roster.

It is early, but Tart looks like another UDFA find for Jon Robinson, and hopefully, he is going to be good enough to earn a starting job that allows Jeffery Simmons to play in the B-gaps more in 2021.
