AFC SOUTH STANDINGS

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (6-9) conclude their 2013 season this week, welcoming the AFC South rival Houston Texans (2-13) to LP Field (capacity 69,143). Kickoff is scheduled for noon CST on Sunday, Dec. 29. In the first meeting this season, played on Sept. 15 at Reliant Stadium, the Texans edged the Titans in overtime by a final score of 30-24. The Titans lead 14-9 in the overall series, which dates back to 2002.

THE BROADCAST This week’s game will be televised regionally on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF News-Channel 5. Andrew Catalon will handle play-by-play duties while Adam Archuleta provides analysis. The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will broadcast the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wycheck, sideline reporter Cody Allison and gameday host Larry Stone.

TITANS LOOK TO FINISH 2013 ON WINNING NOTE Last week the Titans traveled to Jacksonville, where they earned a 20-16 victory. Ryan Fitzpat-rick’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Nate Washington early in the fourth quarter provided the deciding points. Washington led the team with 117 yards on six receptions, recording his eighth career 100-yard game and his third of 2013. He is 120 receiving yards away from his second career 1,000-yard season. Another Titans wideout, Kendall Wright, is on the verge of capping one of the most prolific receiv-ing seasons in franchise history. Wright enters Week 17 with 89 catches, already seventh on the team’s single-season list. Seven more would put him third, while 11 would make him the third player for the team to reach 100 receptions in a season. He needs 12 more to reach Charlie Hennigan’s team record of 101 receptions, set in 1964. Additionally at Jacksonville, the Titans totaled 44 rushing attempts for 182 yards. Shonn Greene led the way with 91 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts, while Chris Johnson had 90 yards on 22 carries. They became the team’s first duo since Dec. 7, 2008 (Johnson and LenDale White at Cleveland) to each record at least 90 rushing yards in a game. With 950 rushing yards through 15 games, Johnson has a chance to become the sixth player in NFL history to record 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first six seasons. He would join the select company of Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, LaDainian Tomlinson, Eric Dickerson and Corey Dillon. The Titans defense was not without big plays of its own against the Jaguars, particularly late in the day. The unit stuffed the Jaguars on fourth-and-one from the Tennessee 20-yard line, and to seal the outcome once and for all, safety George Wilson recorded an interception in the final minute of play.

THE TEXANS The Texans are searching for their first win since their victory over the Titans in Week 2. Last week, they hosted the Denver Broncos and fell by a final score of 37-13. On Dec. 6, the team relieved head coach Gary Kubiak of his duties and named defensive coordina-tor Wade Phillips interim head coach. The decision ended Kubiak’s tenure of seven-plus seasons leading the club. Phillips, son of the late Oilers head coach Bum Phillips, owns a lengthy résumé that includes 37 years of coaching experience and 31 seasons as a defensive coordinator or head coach. He served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys (2007-10), Buffalo Bills (1998-2000) and Denver Broncos (1993-94), as well as the interim head coach of the 2003 Atlanta Falcons (three games) and the 1985 New Orleans Saints (five games). Led by Phillips, Houston’s defense is ranked seventh in the NFL. Against the pass, the unit is ranked third. Defensive end J.J. Watt, the 2012 Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year, has been cred-ited in 2013 with a team-high 9.5 sacks. On offense, Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson leads the AFC and ranks second in the NFL with 103 receptions for 1,358 yards. Last week he matched Wes Welker’s NFL record with his fifth career season registering 100 or more receptions. Matt Schaub returned to the lineup at quarterback against the Broncos. He started the first six games of the season before Case Keenum took over for the following eight contests.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK

¾ WR Justin Hunter (four touchdown receptions) needs one touch-down reception to give him the most by a Titans rookie since Chris Sanders (nine) in 1995.

¾ RB Chris Johnson needs 50 rushing yards to become the sixth player in NFL history to record 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first six seasons (Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, LaDainian Tom-linson, Eric Dickerson, Corey Dillon).

¾ RB Chris Johnson needs 11 receiving yards to reach 2,000 career receiving yards. He would become the second player in franchise history to have 7,000 career rushing yards and 2,000 career receiv-ing yards (Eddie George) and the fourth active NFL player to do so (Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, Maurice Jones-Drew).

¾ CB Alterraun Verner (five interceptions in 2013) needs one inter-ception to become the first Titans player since Michael Griffin in 2008 (seven interceptions) to record six or more interceptions in a season.

¾ TE Delanie Walker (57 receptions) needs three receptions to be-come the only franchise tight end other than Frank Wycheck (five times) to reach 60 catches in a single season.

¾ WR Nate Washington (880 receiving yards in 2013) needs 120 receiving yards for his second career 1,000-yard season. He needs 31 yards to pass Curtis Duncan (3,935 career) for ninth place on the team’s all-time receiving yards list.

¾ WR Kendall Wright (89 receptions in 2013) needs one reception to become the first Titans player to record 90 catches in a season since Derrick Mason (96) in 2004. Wright needs 11 receptions to become the third player in team annals with 100 in a season, and he needs 12 catches to match Charlie Hennigan’s franchise record of 101 receptions in a season (1964).

The Titans-Texans rivalry is in its 12th year since the expansion Texans began play and the AFC South was formed in 2002. In 23 games, the Titans are 14-9 against the Texans, including a 7-4 mark at LP Field and 7-5 record at Reliant Stadium. The Texans have won each of the last three games in the series. At Houston on Sept. 30, 2012, Texans quarterback Matt Schaub passed for two touchdowns, and the Houston defense returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns to defeat the Titans 38-14. On Dec. 2, 2012, the teams squared off at LP Field, and despite 309 passing yards from Jake Locker and an advantage in total yards by the Titans (354 to 332), the Texans forced six turnovers to pull away with a 24-10 win. Locker was sacked six times, while Schaub was not sacked at all during a 21-of-35 performance with a pair of passing touchdowns. Then, in Week 2 of the 2013 season (Sept. 15), the Texans came back from an eight-point deficit in the final 3:07 of the fourth quarter. Schaub completed a three-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins on the first drive of overtime to give Houston a 30-24 victory. The Titans have separate winning streaks of four games and seven games in the series, the latter of which was ended at Reliant Stadium on Dec. 14, 2008. The Titans franchise has a rich and storied history with the city of Houston. Under late owner K.S. “Bud” Adams Jr., the Titans existed as the Houston Oilers from 1960-96. In Houston, the Oilers won the first two American Football League Championships and made a total of 15 playoff appearances. Nine players that wore a Houston Oilers uniform are en-shrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including most recently former quarterback Warren Moon, defensive tackle Curley Culp and offensive lineman Bruce Matthews, who currently serves as Titans offensive line coach. The team moved to Tennessee in 1997 and in 1999 adopted the “Titans” moniker.

Matt Schaub’s three-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins on the first drive of overtime gave the Texans a 30-24 victory over the Titans at Reliant Stadium. Hopkins’ touchdown ended a dramatic late comeback by the Texans, who trailed by eight points with 3:07 on the clock in the fourth quarter. That was when Schaub began to lead an eight-play, 87-yard drive, which included three consecutive completions to Hopkins for 64 total yards and a 21-yard reception by Andre Johnson that put the Texans on the Tennessee two-yard line. On the next play, Arian Foster crossed the goal line on a two-yard run. Foster then tied the score on a run for the two-point conversion. The Texans got the ball back with less than a minute remaining in regulation and appeared ready to end the game there. However, Randy Bullock’s 46-yard field goal bounced off the left upright. But after the Texans won the overtime coin toss and received the kickoff, they wasted little time attacking a Titans defense that was on the field for more than 20 minutes combined in the second half and overtime. They went 78 yards on 11 plays, including a 25-yard catch by Hopkins and his game-winning touchdown reception on third-and-goal. The Texans totaled 452 yards in the game, compared to 248 for the Titans. Schaub completed 26 of 48 passes for 298 yards and three total touchdowns, while Foster and Ben Tate combined for 172 rushing yards. Hopkins finished the game with 117 yards on seven receptions. Defensively, the Texans limited the Titans to four conversions on 16 third downs and forced eight of the Titans’ 14 drives to end in three or fewer plays. But two long drives for the Titans, no turnovers and a pair of takeaways kept them in the game and even provided a fourth-quarter lead. The Texans jumped out to an early advantage in the first quarter on a one-yard touchdown pass from Schaub to tight end Garrett Graham. The Titans responded to tie the score at 7-7 on the ensuing possession. After a 17-yard pass from Jake Locker to Nate Washington converted a third-and-six, the Titans faced another third down—this time from the six-yard line. Locker found Kendall Wright for the touchdown, capping the

14-play, 80-yard drive that took more than seven minutes. With less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter, Schaub’s pass intended for Andre Johnson was tipped by linebacker Akeem Ayers. The ball sailed to the hands of safety Bernard Pollard, who returned it 32 yards to set up a 47-yard field goal by Bironas as time expired in the half. Houston recaptured the lead midway through the third quarter, taking advantage of four three-and-outs by Tennessee. Tight end Owen Daniels made a leaping grab of a 12-yard touchdown pass from Schaub. The Texans added to their lead with a safety early in the fourth quarter. Three penalties helped to pin the Titans on their own one-yard line. Chris Johnson then took a handoff from Locker, only to be stopped at the goal line by linebacker Joe Mays. Initially, officials ruled Johnson had gotten out of the end zone, but after a Houston challenge, the play was ruled a safety. The Titans found themselves on their one-yard line again to begin their next series. This time, however, they would drive the length of the field. Locker found Washington for a 31-yard gain, and on the ninth play of the drive, he passed to tight end Delanie Walker for a 10-yard touchdown. The extra point gave them a 17-16 lead with 6:37 remaining in the fourth quarter. On the subsequent series, Schaub was intercepted by cornerback Alterraun Verner, who went untouched 23 yards for a touchdown to help extend the lead to 24-16. With the Texans needing late-game heroics, they received them from Schaub, who would soon lead the drive to tie the game and then win it in overtime.

Alterraun Verner scored on a 23-yard interception return at Houston.

In 2011, Phillips earned recognition as the PFW/PFWA Assistant Coach of the Year after the Texans’ defense finished second in the NFL with 285.7 yards allowed per game. Phillips installed a 3-4 scheme that yielded the third-largest single year improvement since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, flipping a unit that gave up 379.6 yards per game and ranked 31st in the NFL in 2010. Previously, Phillips served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2007 until midway through the 2010 season, compiling a 34-22 record (.607 winning pct.) en route to three straight winning seasons, two playoff ap-pearances and the franchise’s first playoff win in 12 seasons in 2009.

Phillips’ professional coaching career began in Houston in 1976 as the linebackers coach under his father, longtime NFL coach Bum Phillips. After a year as the linebackers coach in 1976, Phillips moved to handling the defensive line responsibilities from 1977 to 1980.

PROBABLE TITANS LINEUP


ON THE ROAD: The Titans’ victory at Jacksonville gave them a final road record in 2013 of 4-4. They also earned road wins at Pittsburgh (Sept. 8), St. Louis (Nov. 3) and Oakland (Nov. 24). BIG RUSHING NUMBERS: Against the Jaguars, the Titans totaled 44 rushing attempts for 182 yards for an average of 4.1 yards per carry. Shonn Greene led the way with 91 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts, while Chris Johnson had 90 yards on 22 carries. The 182 yards made up the second-highest total of the season (198 on Nov. 3 at St. Louis). The 44 attempts were the most by the team in any game since recording 49 against the Jaguars on Nov. 11, 2009. SECOND-HALF DEFENSE: In the second half, the Titans defense limited the Jaguars offense to 85 total yards, 36 rushing yards and five total first downs. The Jaguars only converted on one third down in six attempts in the final two quarters.

LOW PENALTY NUMBERS: The Titans were penalized only one time against the Jaguars for four yards, recording their best numbers of the season and the best since a zero-penalty outing against Jacksonville on Dec. 24, 2011. In the last two weeks, including their efforts against the Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals, the Titans have been penalized a total of four times for 20 yards.

TIME OF POSSESSION WIN: For the ninth time this season, the Titans recorded a time of possession of 30 minutes or more. They held the ball for 35 minutes and 39 seconds at Jacksonville, their second-best total of the season (35:48 at Oakland on Nov. 24). FOURTH DOWN: The Titans and Jaguars totaled a combined season-high seven fourth-down attempts. The Titans attempted four and converted three of them. Two of their conversions came on scoring drives, including a four-yard run by Shonn Greene on fourth-and-one, which led to a second-quarter field goal, and a three-yard run by Ryan Fitzpatrick on fourth-and-two. The latter preceded the game-winning fourth-quarter touchdown. WILSON SEALS VICTORY: Late in the fourth quarter, safety George Wilson sealed Tennessee’s victory with a one-handed interception of a pass from Chad Henne to Marcedes Lewis. It was the eighth-year safety’s first interception in a Titans uniform and his 13th career interception. WASHINGTON OVER 100: Wide receiver Nate Washington led the team with six receptions and 117 receiving yards. A 30-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter put him over the 100-yard mark for the eighth time in his career and for the third time in 2013. The last Titans player with three 100-yard receiving performances in a season was Drew Bennett in 2006. Washington’s yardage total against the Jaguars tied for the third-highest of

The Titans used 44 carries for 182 total rushing yards to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 at EverBank Field. A late interception by Titans safety George Wilson sealed the win after Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Nate Washington gave the Titans the lead early in the fourth quarter. The carries in Tennessee’s ground game were split nearly equally between running backs Shonn Greene and Chris Johnson. Greene led the team with 91 yards on 19 attempts, while Johnson produced 90 yards on 22 attempts. Meanwhile, Washington provided several big plays and finished the game with 117 yards on six receptions. The Titans defense limited the Jaguars’ opportunities for much of the game, particularly after halftime. The only points the Jaguars scored in the final two quarters came on a field goal after an interception. In contrast to the Titans’ success on the ground, the Jaguars were held to 63 yards on 21 total rushing attempts in the game. Before falling behind for most of the first three quarters, the Titans got on the scoreboard first. On their opening drive, Fitzpatrick completed consecutive passes to Washington of 26 and 25 yards. When the 64-yard drive stalled, Rob Bironas kicked a 45-yard field goal. The Jaguars stormed back with a nine-play, 80-yard march. Quarterback Chad Henne found tight end Marcedes Lewis for a 30-yard pass, and the duo connected again moments later on a four-yard touchdown pass. The Titans were poised to retake the lead in the second quarter before they were stopped at the one-yard line. They initially took possession at their own 42-yard line after their defense stopped the Jaguars offense on fourth-and-one. Fitzpatrick converted a fourth down with an 11-yard pass to tight end Delanie Walker, who subsequently caught a 10-yard pass at the six-yard line. But on fourth-and-goal, Fitzpatrick’s pass to the tight end sailed high in the end zone for an incompletion, and the Jaguars maintained the lead. A 52-yard field goal by Bironas pulled the Titans to within one point, but the Jaguars responded with their second touchdown drive. Henne completed passes of 24 and 17 yards, and with less than a minute remaining in the first half, he threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Mike Brown. However, Josh Scobee’s extra point attempt was blocked by safety Bernard Pollard, the impact of which was felt later in the four-point

Nate Washington had 117 receiving yards against the Jaguars.

final score. The third quarter began poorly for the Titans. On the third play of the half, a pass from Fitzpatrick went off the fingers of Walker and into the hands of cornerback Alan Ball. Scobee capitalized on the turnover with a 36-yard field goal, putting the Jaguars up 16-6. But the Titans offense followed its miscue with its first of two consecutive touchdown drives, highlighted by a 29-yard run by Greene. To cap the 11-play, 80-yard possession, Greene found the end zone on a one-yard run. The Titans offense was back on the field quickly after a Jaguars three-and-out. Scrimmaging from their own 27-yard line on what turned out to be the game-deciding series, the Titans crossed midfield after a 14-yard reception by Kendall Wright and a 12-yard run by Johnson. Fitzpatrick picked up three yards rushing on a critical fourth-and-two, and two plays into the fourth quarter, he found Washington streaking down the left sideline for the go-ahead score. The Jaguars later would get as far as the Tennessee 20-yard line, but another key fourth down went the Titans’ way. Maurice Jones-Drew took a handoff on fourth-and-one, only to be stopped a yard behind the line of scrimmage by Pollard and defensive end Ropati Pitoitua. The Titans kept the ball on the ground, and after seven consecutive running plays from Greene and Johnson, they had used more than four minutes and forced the Jaguars to exhaust all three timeouts. With the clock running inside the final minute of regulation, Wilson’s one-handed interception on a pass intended for Lewis ended any lingering suspense.

Shonn Greene rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown at Jacksonville.

his career. BIG DAY FOR GREENE: Shonn Greene led the Titans with 91 yards on 19 rushing attempts, accumulating his best totals in his first year with the Titans and his most rushing yards since a 104-yard effort as a member of the New York Jets against Arizona on Dec. 2, 2012. In the third quarter, he set a season long with a 29-yard run to set up first-and-goal from the five-yard line. Three plays later, he scored his fourth touchdown of the season (22nd career) on a one-yard run. MORGAN GETS FIFTH SACK: In the third quarter, defensive end Derrick Morgan recorded his fifth sack of the season, dragging down Chad Henne for a seven-yard loss. Morgan has 15.5 sacks in his career.

BLOCK BY POLLARD: Late in the second quarter, a Jaguars extra point attempt was blocked by Titans safety Bernard Pollard. It was the first blocked extra point of Pollard’s career and the Titans’ first blocked PAT since Michael Griffin blocked one against Jacksonville on Nov. 1, 2009. Pollard, an eight-year veteran, has two career blocked field goals, including one for the Titans in 2013 (Sept. 22 against San Diego).

WALKER OVER 2,000: With a seven-yard reception in the second quarter, tight end Delanie Walker went over the 2,000-yard receiving mark for his career. He totaled four receptions for 35 yards in the game. BIRONAS CONNECTS FROM DEEP: Rob Bironas’ second field goal of the game was from 52 yards, his longest field goal since a 53-yarder on Nov. 11, 2012 at Miami. Bironas entered the game ranked fourth in NFL history in field-goal percentage from 50-plus yards. BIRONAS OVER 100 AGAIN: With a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter, Rob Bironas went over the 100-point mark for the seventh consecutive season, the most consecutive triple-digit scoring seasons in franchise history and the second-highest total in team annals. The only player with more was kicker Al Del Greco, who had 100 or more points eight times: 1992, 1993, and 1995 through 2000. SACK FOR WIMBLEY: In the first half, defensive end Kamerion Wimbley

was credited with his third sack of the season, dropping Chad Henne for a four-year loss. The play gave Wimbley 51.5 career sacks.

FIRST-DRIVE SUCCESS: For the eighth time in 2013 and for the fifth time in their last six games, the Titans scored on their opening possession of the game. At Jacksonville, Rob Bironas booted a 45-yard field goal to cap their first drive. In the last 10 seasons, the only Titans squad with as many first-drive scores was the 2012 team, which also had eight-such drives. McCARTHY STARTS AT LINEBACKER: Colin McCarthy recorded his fifth start of the season. The Titans started a combination at linebacker they had not previously shown this season—McCarthy at weakside linebacker, Moise Fokou at middle linebacker and Akeem Ayers at strongside linebacker. START FOR STINGILY: With David Stewart nursing a shoulder injury, third-year veteran Byron Stingily started in his place at right tackle. It marked the third career start for Stingily, a former sixth-round pick who was in the lineup for the final two games of 2012. WARM TEMP: The official temperature at kickoff was 79 degrees, making it the warmest December game for the Titans in at least the last 10 seasons. TITANS INACTIVES: The Titans’ seven inactive players were quarterback Tyler Wilson, wide receiver Kenny Britt, cornerback Khalid Wooten, linebacker Zaviar Gooden, offensive lineman Kevin Matthews, tackle David Stewart and defensive end Lavar Edwards.

Titans Founder, Owner, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. passed away peacefully from natural causes at his home in Houston on the morning of Oct. 21, 2013. In his 54 years leading the franchise, Adams was an enduring figure in the NFL. As a co-founder of the American Football League, he accumulated more wins than any other current NFL owner (409) at the time of his passing. He saw his 400th career win (regular season and playoffs) in the 2011 season fi-nale at Houston as the Titans defeated the Texans. Consistently fielding winning teams, the franchise earned 21 playoff ap-pearances in his 53 full seasons of ownership, a total that ranked eighth among NFL teams in that time period. After the franchise relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997, Adams guided his team to new heights, posting six playoff appearances, including an AFC Championship (1999), AFC Central title (2000), two AFC South titles (2002 & 2008), an AFC Championship appearance (2002) and Wild Card teams in 2003 and 2007. During Adams’ ownership, 67 of his players earned Pro Bowl selec-tions, in addition to one AFL Most Valuable Player, two NFL MVP’s and five offensive or defensive Rookies of the Year. Also, nine of Adams’ players, most recently Bruce Matthews in 2007 and Curley Culp in 2013, were selected for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In each of the past eight years, Adams was nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a special contributor. Adams consistently made significant moves that improved his fran-chise or the league as a whole. He was the man Lamar Hunt approached first when forming the AFL. As the league started, Adams boldly signed players from the NFL (George Blanda) and poached others who chose the AFL over the NFL (Billy Cannon). Through the years, he found ways to acquire Hall of Fame talent – trading for Culp, a centerpiece of the de-fense, in 1974; dealing picks to select Earl Campbell in 1978; winning a bidding war for CFL star Warren Moon in 1984; and using back-to-back first-round picks in 1982 and 1983 to draft Mike Munchak and Matthews. Adams’ franchise became the first in the AFL/NFL to play its games in an indoor stadium in 1968. His teams also became a platform for diversity as an African-American started at quarterback in 26 of the team’s 53 years from 1960–2012 (Moon, Steve McNair, Vince Young). Adams is a member of the Sports Hall of Fame in two different states. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in February 2006 and was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in February 2010.

A native of Bartlesville, Okla., Adams' interest in sports was first dis-played while at Culver Military Academy, where he earned letters in foot-ball, basketball and baseball. Upon graduation from Culver in 1940, Adams attended Menlo College (Calif.), lettering in both rugby and football. Ad-ams then transferred to the engineering school at the University of Kansas where he also lettered in football for the Jayhawks. During his days at KU, Adams met his future wife Nancy Neville and began his loyal affiliation with Sigma Chi Fraternity. In 1942, while still in school at KU, Adams joined the U.S. Naval Re-serve. In July 1943, he was called to active duty in the Navy's V-12 col-lege program, which allowed him to continue in school. In early 1944, he received orders to report to Midshipman Officer Specialty School at Notre Dame where he earned his Navy ensign commission in an accelerated 60-day program. He was sent overseas and was assigned to a PAC-Fleet car-rier unit, where he served as an aviation engineering officer. He returned to the U.S. in December 1945. Lt. j.g. Adams served as an aide in the U.S. Navy's Congressional Liaison Office in Washington, D.C. prior to his dis-charge in 1946. Later in 1946, Adams started ADA Oil Company, which was a forerun-ner of the publicly-held American Stock Exchange-listed Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (AE), an energy company engaged in the business of mar-keting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products; tank truck transporta-tion of liquid chemicals; and oil and gas exploration and production. Adams’ other business interests included extensive farming and ranching in Cali-fornia and Texas, cattle feeding, real estate, automobile dealerships and leasing. He was a longtime collector of Western art and Native American artifacts. Football history was made in Adams’ office in Houston on Aug. 3, 1959, where he and Hunt held a press conference to announce the for-mation of the new American Football League, which would begin playing in 1960. Hunt would have a team in Dallas, Adams would have a team in Houston, and other teams would be forthcoming. The Oilers played their final season in 1996 at the Houston Astro-dome. In 1997, Adams led the National Football League into the Mid-South region, the last untapped area without a major professional sport. That feat allowed his team to be the first NFL franchise to call "the Volunteer State" home. During construction of the stadium in Nashville, the Tennessee Oil-ers played the 1997 season at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, and the 1998 season at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. On July 29, 1998, Adams announced that the Oilers' name would be changed beginning with the 1999 season. The Oilers' name was retired by the NFL – a first in league history – allowing the Tennessee franchise to re-tain the team's winning tradition, and launching a new era in the Mid-South. The Titans would make their debut in 1999, in what is now called LP Field. Adams served on several prominent NFL committees, including the NFL’s Finance, Hall of Fame, Legislative and Audit Committees; and was a Trustee for the NFL Trust. One of Cherokee Nation’s most prominent citizens, he served on the Cherokee Heritage Center’s executive board. In 2000, he received the highest honor awarded by the Cherokee National Historical Society for his support and dedication to the preservation and promotion of Cherokee cul-ture. Adams’ Cherokee roots included his maternal uncle, W.W. Keeler, who served as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation for more than two decades. Very active in national, state and local programs, Adams was on the

Since the Titans moved to Tennessee, local charities have seen ap-proximately $20 million flow into their organizations as a direct result of the Titans and the NFL, with the great majority of the money and gifts coming from Adams and the Tennessee Titans Foundation. Adams and his wife, Nancy, were married for 62 years before her pass-ing in February of 2009. They raised two daughters, Susie Smith and Amy Adams Hunt, and a son, Kenneth S. Adams III, who is deceased. Adams had seven grandchildren.

Titans head coach Mike Munchak: “I was saddened today to hear about the passing of our owner, Mr. Bud Adams. I’ve been with this organization over 30 years, and I’ve been blessed to be a football player here during that time, a position coach, and now the head coach. I will forever be grateful for all Mr. Adams has done for me and my family ... I first met Mr. Adams I was drafted in 1982. I made my first visit to Texas, never been to Houston, and it was day two of the draft ... I wasn’t sure what to expect. His office was enormous—I never saw a desk that big in my life. He was the first Texan I met, and he was very happy, very loud, called me over, and I sat down. Just to see his excitement for the draft, being part of it, he immediately went back briefly after I talked about Penn State, where I was from (in) Pennsylvania. He went right to 1960 and when he put this whole thing together. Just see-ing his excitement, his passion for what he did, the stories about how back then he was the owner, he was the general manager. He did everything but coach the guys, and it was very interesting to hear his stories about Billy Cannon and how he signed guys, cut deals, how he kept the league together, and in the meantime won some championships. I probably spent a good hour with him that day, that first meeting. It was all about the orga-nization’s history and what was going on down there. I felt like I was with a guy who really loved what he did, loved the excitement of the NFL. (I felt) like this guy was a pioneer for bringing the league together into what it is today. It was exciting for me because I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know a whole lot about the Oilers. I felt in that short hour I was going to be part of something special. I didn’t know it would be 30-something years that day, but we got along well ... If you’ve been around Mr. Adams, and I know a lot of you have been, he loves to tell stories about the passions he has in life. Obviously, this team was one of them. I’m glad I had that time with him. When I became the head coach ... people would always say, ‘Well, have you talked to Mr. Adams? He’s in Houston.’ I would say, ‘You know when I talk to him? I talk to him on Saturdays before games. He flies in on Saturday afternoons, and usually there’s no one here in the building, and he comes in with four or five of his friends—gentlemen from other businesses he has because obviously he has a lot more going on than the football team. I’d meet him here, I’d wait around so I could spend some time with him, and I’d walk through the building with him, with his friends, and we’d talk, we’d walk around and look at all the pictures (and talk) about all the stories. He would talk about the guys back in the 60s and 70s, and I would talk about the guys from the Earl Campbell years on, the guys I had more history with and the Titans. That was something I’d look forward to, but we’d never get real far because he told a long story. He made sure he got every detail in, and I just really enjoyed those Saturdays (during my) first year as a head coach. Finally, by the end of the year, we made it to the end of the hallway. This meant a lot to him here ... I’m glad I was along for the ride for 30-something years, and it’s just a really sad day.”

Kansas City Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt: “When my father La-mar set out to start a new league to rival the NFL in 1959, the first person he went to visit was Bud Adams. Lamar, Bud and the other visionary owners of the American Football League believed that fans across the country would embrace pro football if given the chance, and they were right. Although Lamar’s Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs and Bud’s Houston Oilers/Ten-nessee Titans were natural rivals on the field, Lamar and Bud enjoyed a friendship that spanned five decades and saw the emergence of pro football as America’s Game. Our family will always appreciate Bud’s spirited and enthusiastic support of my father’s ‘foolish’ idea, and we are saddened to-day by the news of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the Adams family and the Tennessee Titans organization.”

Buffalo Bills Owner Ralph Wilson Jr.: “As original AFL team owners, we all shared a common bond and a deep sense of pride in where we started in 1960 to where the NFL is today and how much our fans enjoy the game of professional football. Bud certainly played an important role in the growth and development of our game and today I am remembering with great fond-ness all the laughs we shared with the special memories over the years. Through it all, our teams played some of the most memorable games in AFL and NFL history.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell: “Bud Adams played a pivotal role in the growth of pro football as a pioneer and innovator. As a founding owner

For the duration of the 2013 season, Titans players will wear a patch on their jerseys to honor the late K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr., the team’s founder and owner who passed away at his home in Houston on Oct. 21. The 2½-inch circular patch has a black background and a thin, white border. Inside the bor-der, the Titans’ “fireball” logo sits atop the capital letters “BUD” in a bold, white font. The patch appears on the player’s right chest, opposite the commemorative 15-year patch on the left side that the team has worn all season and will continue to wear for the remainder of the campaign.

TITANS WEAR PATCH TO HONOR ADAMS

Bud Adams and Jake Locker


of the American Football League that began play in 1960, Bud saw the po-tential of pro football and brought the game to new cities and new heights of popularity, first in Houston and then in Nashville. He was a brilliant en-trepreneur with a terrific sense of humor that helped lighten many a tense meeting. His commitment to the best interests of the game and league was unwavering, and his personal along with the team’s impact in community relations and philanthropy set a standard for the NFL. Bud was truly a gift to the NFL. We extend our deepest sympathy to his daughters Susan and Amy, and the entire family.”

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker: “With the passing of K. S. ‘Bud’ Adams, Cherokee Nation has lost one of its most prominent and beloved tribal citizens. Although probably best known as a successful businessman and owner of the Tennessee Titans NFL franchise, Adams was born right here in the Cherokee Nation in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and never lost touch with his Cherokee heritage. People may be surprised to know that his Cherokee roots included his maternal uncle, W.W. Keeler, who served as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation for more than two decades. Through the years Bud Adams was one of the Cherokee Heritage Center’s staunchest supporters, serving on its executive board and mak-ing generous contributions that established attractions such as the Adams Corner Rural Village in 1979 in honor of his mother, Blanch Keeler Adams. Endowments and continuing support from Adams have had a broad impact on Cherokees and other visitors to the Cherokee Heritage Center. In 2000 he received the highest honor awarded by the Cherokee National Histori-cal Society for his support and dedication to the preservation and promo-tion of Cherokee culture. A member of the “greatest generation,” we also recognize and honor his sacrifices as a veteran of World War II who fought to protect our freedoms, as so many Cherokee men of his generation did. We will miss Bud Adams and offer our deepest condolences to his family.”

Louisiana-Pacific Corp. CEO Curt Stevens: “We at LP are saddened by news of the passing of Bud Adams. Mr. Adams was not only a shrewd busi-nessman and fantastic business partner, but a giving and compassionate person as well. That is especially true when it came to aiding others through his charitable works. While his presence in professional football is the stuff of legends, his work aiding soldiers and veterans with organizations such as the Titans Foundation and Operation Finally Home leave a legacy that will span generations. Our thoughts are with the Adams family and the Tennes-see Titans organization during these difficult times.”

Houston Texans Owner Bob McNair: “We have been friends for over 30 years and our city has lost a great Houstonian. Bud brought football to Houston as the city’s first professional sports venture. As a founding mem-ber of the AFL, Bud had a vision, he saw the league through tough years and was instrumental in the AFL merging to become the NFL we know and love today. ...Bud knew I had a passion for NFL ownership and helped me along the path toward where I am now. In the early 1990s, he was vital in getting me involved with the NFL which eventually led to expansion.”

St. Louis Rams coach and former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher: “Mr. Adams gave me my first opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL, and I’m eternally grateful to him for that. We enjoyed a great deal of success together during my 17 seasons with the organization, and I’ll cherish those memories for the rest of my life. My respect for Mr. Adams goes well beyond the owner/coach relationship that we shared for many years. He was a pioneer in the football business. He played a key role in creating and sus-taining the American Football League, which helped push the popularity of our game to where it is today. My thoughts and prayers are with the Adams family during this difficult time.”

Phil Bredesen, former Nashville mayor and Tennessee governor who negotiated the Oilers’ relocation with Adams: “He could have just eased through life. A lot of people do that, and he didn’t. He went out and lived it. He did things the way he wanted to, and sometimes we’d all wring our hands when he said what he wanted to. And I admire him for it. Probably most of us should do a little more of that.”

Detroit Lions coach and former Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz: “He would come up at times and always would be in the locker room after games. ... He had been around for so long, he had seen so many different things. There was definitely a feeling in our locker room, coaching staff and whole organization that we wanted to go out and win for him. We got to the Super Bowl, but we were a couple plays short of being able to present him a trophy.”

Washington Redskins Owner Dan Snyder: “We are sad to hear about the passing of Titans Owner Bud Adams. I will never forget when I first bought the Redskins how gracious he was and the passion that he had for pro football. It was wonderful to be one of his friends.”

Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones: “Loyalty was always a strong trade-mark of Bud Adams. He turned down an opportunity to place an NFL team in Houston, because he had already made a prior commitment to Lamar Hunt and the AFL. Bud was a role model for me. He was a great man and a great Texan. He will be missed and remembered.”

Atlanta Falcons Owner Arthur Blank: “Anyone who has ever enjoyed the experience of NFL football - fans, sponsors, business partners, players, coaches, club staff and club owners - owes Bud Adams a tremendous debt of gratitude today.”

Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand: “Mr. Adams was profoundly instru-mental in the growth of professional football and his historical influence on our game is undeniable. His contributions will continue to positively impact the communities of Houston and the state of Tennessee as well as the entire NFL.”

Ruston Webster and Chance Warmack

Ruston Webster is in his second year as ex-ecutive vice president/general manager after serv-ing two seasons as Titans vice president of player personnel. He was elevated to his current position on Jan. 18, 2012. During the 2013 offseason, Webster engi-neered deals with 17 free agents. The list included a pair of safeties in George Wilson (Buffalo) and Bernard Pollard (Baltimore); offensive linemen Andy Levitre (Buffalo), Rob Turner (St. Louis) and Chris Spencer (Chicago); running back Shonn Greene (New York Jets); tight end Delanie Walker; defensive linemen Sammie Hill (Detroit) and Ropati Pitoitua (Kansas City); linebacker Moise Fokou (Indianapolis); quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buffalo); and wide re-ceiver Kevin Walter (Houston). In the 2013 NFL Draft, he made Alabama guard Chance Warmack the first of eight total selections, which also fea-tured second-round wide receiver Justin Hunter. In 2012 during his first offseason as general manager, Webster and the Titans acquired seven-time Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson and de-fensive end Kamerion Wimbley in free agency. He also engineered deals to retain key talent, signing tight end Craig Stevens, safety Michael Griffin and cornerback Jason McCourty to new long-term contracts. In his first draft as general manager, Webster upgraded the offensive speed and athleticism with the first-round selection of Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright, the first in a seven-member draft class. Wright went on to become the second-leading rookie receiver in franchise history, recording a team-high 64 catches for 626 yards and four touchdowns in 2012. The Titans’ second-round pick, North Carolina linebacker Zach Brown, tied for fourth place among all rookies in 2012 with three intercep-tions, and he tied for fifth in the rookie class with 5.5 sacks. He was the only player to finish among the top five rookies in both categories. Prior to his arrival in Tennessee in 2010, Webster gained 22 years of personnel experience split between the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his four years in Seattle, Webster was the vice presi-dent of player personnel and oversaw the day-to-day management of the pro personnel and college scouting departments. Webster spent 18 years with Tampa Bay in a variety of roles, including the director of player personnel (2005), director of college scouting (2001-04), director of pro personnel (1989-91) and regional college scout (1988, Northeast; 1992, South; 1993, Midwest; 1995-2000, Southwest). He was a part of the front office staff that helped build the Super Bowl XXXVII Cham-pion Buccaneers in 2002. Webster started his career as a college coach with stops as a gradu-ate assistant at Southwestern Louisiana (1985), Alabama (1986) and Tulsa (1987).

TITANS/OILERS ALL-TIME RECORD

The Oakland Raiders: “We are deeply saddened by today’s news of the passing of Bud Adams. Mr. Adams was instrumental in the formation and development of the American Football League, the Houston Oilers, the Tennessee Titans and the National Football League and his impact on pro-fessional football is immeasurable. Our condolences go out to his daugh-ters Susan and Amy, his entire family and the Titans organization.”

San Diego Chargers Chairman of the Board-President Dean Spanos: “Bud Adams was a pioneer in the game we all love. Like Barron Hilton with the Chargers, he was one of the founding owners in the American Foot-ball League; a decision that ultimately helped football grow and prosper to become our country’s most popular sport. And his influence in the League has been felt well beyond the AFL and its merger with the NFL. He loved the game and that love and passion is still felt throughout the league today. It has been a privilege for our family to know Bud and his family over the years. On behalf of the Spanos family and the entire Chargers organization, we extend our deepest sympathy to his family and everyone in the Titans’ organization.”

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander, R.-Tenn.: “Tennesseans will remember and always be grateful to Bud Adams for bringing us the excitement of pro-fessional football, as well as for his big and generous heart.”

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam: “Bud obviously played a critical role in bringing professional football to Nashville and Tennessee. Nashville has grown and exploded. Honestly, being the home of a professional football team has made a big difference there. I’m really sad to hear (about his death), sorry for his family. I think it’s really important we recognize the contribution he’s made to the state.”

On Feb. 7, 2011, the Tennessee Titans hired Mike Munchak to become the 16th head coach in franchise history and the first who was a former play-er for the team. In his first year on the job, Munchak helped guide the Titans through the uncertainty of the NFL lockout. Although he and his staff did not have an offseason with the players, he guided the Titans to a 9-7 finish and a second-place finish in the AFC South. In the process of leading the Titans to three more wins in 2011 than they recorded in 2010, Munchak became the sixth Titans/Oilers head coach to reach nine wins in his first season. Of the eight NFL head coaches in 2011 who were in their first full season at their current post, only San Fran-cisco’s Jim Harbaugh, whose team had 13 wins, finished with more wins than Munchak. In 2012, Munchak’s squad was 6-10 as it worked through significant injuries at key positions. The team placed 16 players on injured reserve, by far the most in a single season for the club over the last 20 years (next highest was 12 players in 2010). The total included four starting offensive linemen (Eugene Amano, Leroy Harris, Steve Hutchinson and David Stewart). Also in 2012, the Titans transitioned to second-year quarterback Jake Locker. Despite missing five starts and the majority of two additional games with a shoulder injury, Locker gained valuable experience and passed for 2,176 yards. In the running game, Chris Johnson recorded his fourth ca-reer season with 1,200 rushing yards (1,243). Defensively, the Titans tied for ninth in the NFL in sacks (39) and finished seventh in interceptions (7). After a 12-year playing career as a guard for the Houston Oilers, Munchak spent three seasons as an offensive assistant/quality control coach. He became the offensive line coach in 1997 and held that position for 14 years. Four of his linemen totaled 10 Pro Bowl invitations, and his offensive lines paved the way for five different running backs to total 11 1,000-yard rushing seasons. In 2001, Munchak became the fifth franchise player to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He earned nine Pro Bowl invitations during his career and was bestowed the honor of having his Oilers No. 63 jersey retired in 1996. As a line coach, Munchak was acknowledged as one of the finest teachers in the game. Only twice during his time coaching the line did he

have the benefit of starting the same starting five linemen from one year to the next, and yet the Titans offensive lines were peren-nially among the best in the NFL. His offensive line allowed the second fewest sacks (28.3 sacks per season) in the NFL from 1997 through 2010. Additionally, the Titans ranked seventh in the league in rushing yards (124.5 yards per game) during the same time period. He helped Bruce Matthews, Brad Hopkins, Mi-chael Roos and Kevin Mawae earn Pro Bowl invitations from his group in addition to helping design protection for Pro Bowlers Eddie George, Steve McNair, Vince Young, Kerry Collins and Chris Johnson. His group aided McNair to NFL co-MVP (2003) and Johnson to Offensive Player of the Year (2009) honors. As a player, Munchak start-ed 156 regular season games (seventh in franchise history) and 10 playoff games for the Oilers between 1982 and 1993. Respected for his play, he was selected to the NFL’s “All Decade” team for the 1980’s. Chronic knee problems led him to retire while still at the top of his game. In his final year, he earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. A versatile player, he started his career in a run-first offense with running back Earl Campbell and transitioned to a pass blocker in the run-n-shoot offense guided by quarterback Warren Moon. He retired on July 21, 1994. A native of Scranton, Pa., Munchak was born on March 5, 1960. He went on to graduate from Penn State University with a degree in business administration in May 1982. The Houston Oilers made him the eighth over-all pick and the first offensive lineman selected in the 1982 NFL Draft. Munchak is married to Marci, and the couple has two grown daughters – Alexandria and Julie.

Mike Munchak Tidbits:

¾ In June 2013, Munchak held his second annual “Strikes to Stop Diabe-tes” charity bowling event. The cause is near to him, as his wife and mother live with diabetes.

¾ Munchak was not an offensive lineman until he got to college. At Scran-ton (Pa.) Central High School, which was later consolidated, he was an All-American selection as a fullback and defensive end, and he was ini-tially recruited to Penn State as a defensive lineman.

¾ Scranton High School’s street address is 63 Mike Munchak Way. ¾ In addition to his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Munchak is a member of the Titans/Oilers Hall of Fame, the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, Texas Sports Hall of Fame and Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame. Also, he was honored as one of the 38 Sports Legends of Houston prior to Super Bowl XXXVIII.

¾ Munchak hosts an annual golf tournament in Scranton to benefit the local United Way.

¾ As a player with the Oilers, Munchak was also successful as a part-time businessman. His endeavors included ownership in several Gold’s Gym franchises and a Snapple distributorship for the Houston and Dallas areas.

¾ Munchak chose Bruce Matthews to introduce him at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, Munchak returned the favor and intro-duced Matthews upon his enshrinement.

¾ Munchak was the first and only player coached by Joe Paterno at Penn State to later become an NFL head coach.

FIRST TWO SEASONS AS HEAD COACH

TITANS OFFENSIVE LINE IN THE MIKE MUNCHAK COACHING ERA The chart below details the team’s regular starters on the offensive line and the results it helped produce since Mike Munchak took over as of-fensive line coach in 1997. He held the position until being named head coach in 2011. In the 14-year period from 1997 through 2010, the Titans offense was ranked in the top 10 in fewest sacks allowed, net rushing yards and average rushing yards. There has been only one season (2001) since Munchak became offensive line coach in which the Titans not finish the season ranked in the top 10 in any of the three categories.

Titans exclusive rights free agents in 2013: 2012 Games Pos Name Played/Started Status C/G Kevin Matthews 14/2 Signed with Redskins; later rejoined Titans

The Titans had 20 players from 2012 enter the 2013 offseason with expiring contracts. The group included 17 unrestricted free agents, two restricted free agents and one exclusive rights free agent. Six Titans who started five or more games in 2012 were among the unrestricted free agents: tight end Jared Cook (five starts), guard Leroy Harris (eight), fullback Quinn Johnson (eight), guard Deuce Lutui (eight), defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks (14) and linebacker Will Witherspoon (five). Additionally, kicker Rob Bironas and returner Darius Reynaud were among the unrestricted free agents. Among those players, the Titans re-signed Johnson, Bironas and Reynaud (Reynaud later released). Cook (St. Louis Rams), Harris (Detroit Lions), Marks (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Witherspoon (Rams) signed elsewhere. The Titans had two restricted free agents in 2013: offensive linemen Fernando Velasco and Kyle DeVan. Velasco started all 16 games in 2012 at center (13 games) and guard (four games). He re-signed in April (since released), while DeVan went unsigned. TITANS SIGN 16 FREE AGENTS FROM OTHER TEAMS

At the same time their unsigned players hit the open market, the Titans were already busy bolstering the roster by signing veterans from the other 31 NFL teams—players whose contracts had expired or who were released from their former teams. They got started by signing safety George Wilson, whose contract was terminated by the Buffalo Bills in February. When the unrestricted free agency period opened during the second week of March, they moved quickly to lock up five players within the first 24 hours: guard Andy Levitre (Buffalo), running back Shonn Greene (New York Jets), tight end Delanie Walker (San Francisco 49ers), linebacker Moise Fokou (Indianapolis Colts) and defensive tackle Sammie Hill (De-troit). They later reached deals with center/guard Rob Turner (St. Louis), safety Bernard Pollard (Baltimore Ravens), defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (Kansas City Chiefs), quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (Bills), wide receiver Kevin Walter (Houston Texans), center/guard Chris Spencer (Chicago Bears), running back Jalen Parmele (Jacksonville Jaguars; released Aug. 30), defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (Indianapolis Colts), running back Alvester Alexander (Indianapolis; July 24), linebacker Greg Jones (Jack-sonville; released Aug. 26) and tackle Barry Richardson (St. Louis; re-leased Aug. 26).

More on the offseason free agent signees who remain with the club:

¾ QUARTERBACK RYAN FITZPATRICK (6-2, 225, Buffalo Bills) Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was signed to serve as an experienced backup to starting quarterback Jake Locker. He started 68 games prior to his arrival in Tennessee and produced three 3,000-yard pass-ing seasons and seven 300-yard games. He played the last four seasons with the Buffalo Bills after two seasons in St. Louis and two years in Cincinnati. His best season came in 2011, when he started all 16 games for the Bills and passed for 3,832 yards and 24 touchdowns. From 2010-12, he passed for 10,232 yards in 45 starts and ranked eighth in the NFL in fewest sacks per pass play (4.8%). For his career, he also has rushed for 1,190 yards and six touchdowns on 252 carries. Fitzpatrick started his career as a seventh-round selection by the St. Louis Rams in the 2005 NFL Draft. Playing in only five games in two sea-sons with the Rams, he was traded to Cincinnati in 2007. In 2008, he started 12 games for Bengals before entering free agency and signing in Buffalo. Fitzpatrick played college football at Harvard, where he finished his career ranked second in school history for passing yards (5,234) and earned Ivy League Player of the Year honors as a senior.

RECENT FREE AGENT HISTORY


The Titans had eight total selections in the 2013 NFL Draft, including two picks in the third round and one pick in every other round. Ruston Webster, in his second offseason as Titans general manager, led the team’s efforts to draft Alabama guard Chance Warmack with the 10th overall pick in the first round. The selection of Warmack was followed by the drafting of for-mer Tennessee wide receiver Justin Hunter (second round), Connecticut cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (third round), Missouri linebacker Zaviar Gooden (third round), California center Brian Schwenke (fourth round), Louisiana State defensive end Lavar Edwards (fifth round), Nevada cor-nerback Khalid Wooten (sixth round) and Nebraska safety Daimion Staf-ford (seventh round).

2013 Titans Draft Pick Capsules (Height, Weight, College, Draft Round, Overall Pick):

¾ G CHANCE WARMACK (6-2, 323, Alabama, 1st round, 10th overall)College: In a four-year career at Alabama, Chance Warmack appeared in 45 games, including starts in his final 40 contests—every game his sophomore, junior and senior seasons—at left offensive guard. As a senior in 2012, he was a unanimous first-team All-American selection while helping Alabama to a national championship. He added All-SEC first-team accolades. When the Titans selected him with the 10th overall pick in the draft, Warmack became the first offensive lineman selected by the Titans/Oilers in the first round since tackle Brad Hopkins (13th overall) in 1993 and the first guard selected by the club in the first round since Bruce Matthews (ninth overall) in 1983.

¾ WR JUSTIN HUNTER (6-4, 203, Tennessee, 2nd round, 34th overall)College: During a three-year stay at Tennessee, Hunter appeared in 28 games with 17 starts. He totaled 106 receptions for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns (17.1 avg.) His 1,812 receiving yards ranked 11th on the school’s career list, and his eight 100-yard receiving performances tied for third all-time by a Volunteer. As a junior, he returned from an ACL injury he suffered in 2011 and led the Volunteers with 73 receptions for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns. He arrives in the NFL with speed (4.40-second 40-yard dash), tremendous leaping ability (39½-inch verti-cal jump, 10-foot-7-inch broad jump) and a large receiving radius (78-inch wingspan). The Titans coveted the big-play threat enough in the second round of the draft to trade up in the round to acquire him.

¾ CB BLIDI WREH-WILSON (6-1, 198, UConn, 3rd round, 70th overall)College: In four seasons at the University of Connecticut, Blidi Wreh-Wilson (pronounced blee-dee ray WIL-son) played in 46 games with 39

2013 TITANS DRAFT REVIEW

starts. His career totals included 181 total tackles, eight interceptions (two touchdown returns) and 27 passes defensed. A big, athletic corner-back with the ability to excel in press coverage, Wreh-Wilson arrives with potential to earn a significant role in the secondary as a rookie. He was a leader at UConn, earning a role as team captain as a senior and winning the team’s Most Valuable Player Award.

¾ LB ZAVIAR GOODEN (6-1, 231, Missouri, 3rd round, 97th overall)College: Zaviar Gooden played in 49 games at Missouri, including 36 starts at weakside outside linebacker.

¾ C BRIAN SCHWENKE (6-3, 318, California, 4th round, 107th overall)College: In four seasons with the California Golden Bears, Brian Schwenke played in 48 of 50 possible games, including starts in 36 of the last 37 contests.

¾ DE LAVAR EDWARDS (6-4, 278, LSU, 5th round, 142nd overall)College: In four seasons at Louisiana State, Lavar Edwards started 15 of 52 games and recorded 96 tackles, 10.5 sacks for minus 70 yards, 20 tackles for loss, six quarterback pressures, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and five passes defensed. He put up notable numbers in limited snaps with the Tigers because he was playing behind a pair of high-round 2013 draft picks (Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery). As a senior, he was one of the recipients of the team’s Unsung Hero Award after posting 26 tackles, 4.5 sacks, seven stops for losses and three quarterback pressures in 13 games (six starts).

¾ S DAIMION STAFFORD (6-1, 218, Nebraska, 7th round, 248th overall)College: Daimion Stafford attended Nebraska after being one of the most highly sought-after prospects in the junior-college ranks. He played in 21 total games at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., dur-ing the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Then, at Nebraska, he started 26 of 27 games and totaled 176 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a quarterback pressure, seven tackles for loss, four interceptions, 17 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into LP Field, the NFL announced in June a policy that limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into the stadium. The NFL Committee on Stadium Security unanimously recommended the implementation of this measure that will enhance public safety and make it easier for fans to gain access in all stadiums. It was discussed with all clubs at the May league meeting and will be implemented at all NFL stadiums beginning with preseason games. The Titans strongly encourage fans to not bring any type of bags, but a list of what is permissible was released. Fans will be able to carry the following style and size bag, package, or container at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or when approaching queue lines of fans awaiting entry into the stadium:

● Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. (Official NFL team logo clear plastic tote bags are available through club merchandise outlets or at nflshop.com)

● One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar). ● Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without

a handle or strap, may be carried into the stadium along with one of the clear bag options.

● An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at a gate designated for this purpose.

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, lug-gage of any kind, seat cushions, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size. This public safety measure is being successfully used at other large venues. The University of Michigan, Penn State University and Michigan State University do not permit any bags, while the TD Garden in Boston only permits clutch bags. Working personnel, including media, will continue to enter NFL stadi-ums through designated gates where they will be subject to screening and bag inspections already in effect at all stadiums.

More information is available at www.NFL.com/allclear.

Prior to the regular season opener, the Titans voted on team captains for the 2013 season. The six players to receive the honor were quarter-back Jake Locker (offense), tackle Michael Roos (of-fense), wide receiver Nate Washington (offense), cor-nerback Jason McCourty (defense), safety Bernard Pollard (defense) and linebacker Patrick Bailey (special teams). The Titans offense, defense and special teams units were responsible for electing their own respective captains. It is the second consecutive sea-son Locker and McCourty received the honor. Roos, Washington, Pollard and Bailey are first-time captains. This is the seventh year of the NFL’s emphasis on season-long team captains on offense, defense and special teams through the team captain leadership program, which was created in 2007 by the league and the NFL’s Player Advisory Council. Elected captains wear a “C” on the upper right chest of their jerseys. Their role is to serve as a link between players, coaches and management to help foster cohesion within teams.

2013 Titans Team Captains: ¾ Offense: QB Jake Locker (second year as Titans offensive captain, third NFL season); T Michael Roos (first year as Titans offensive captain, ninth NFL season); WR Nate Washington (first year as Titans offensive captain, ninth NFL season)

¾ Defense: CB Jason McCourty (second year as defensive captain, fifth NFL season); S Bernard Pollard (first year as defensive captain, eighth NFL season)

The final result of all the moves was 20 new players on the 53-man roster heading into the season opener, including 13 free agents and seven draft picks. The 38 percent roster turnover from 2012 to 2013 was the highest for the team in the franchise’s “Titans era” (1999–present).

TITANS IN CLOSE GAMES

The Titans have been one of the NFL’s top rushing teams since Mike Munchak began coaching the offensive line in 1997, consistently present in the league’s Top 10 in rushing yards per game.

Most rushing yards per game, 1997-present:

Rushing YardsTeam Per Game1. Denver Broncos 133.72. Minnesota Vikings 129.83. Kansas City Chiefs 126.24. Pittsburgh Steelers 125.85. San Francisco 49ers 123.26. Jacksonville Jaguars 122.57. Tennessee Titans 120.98. Philadelphia Eagles 120.49. Atlanta Falcons 120.210. Baltimore Ravens 118.6

RUSHING YARDS PER GAME SINCE 1997

In 2012, Titans running back Chris Johnson recorded his fifth consec-utive season to reach the 1,000-yard rushing mark. His season continues an impressive run of Titans running backs reaching the 1,000-yard mark. The Titans selected former running back Eddie George in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft, and since that time, no team has had more 1,000-yard rushing seasons than the Titans. George went over 1,000 yards seven times during his career (1996-00, 2002-03). Following his departure, Chris Brown (2004), Travis Henry (2006), LenDale White (2007) and Johnson (2008-12) all have reached the mark. That gives the Titans an NFL-high 15 seasons with a 1,000-yard rush-er from 1996 through the 2012 campaign.

Most individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons, 1996–2012:

Titans head coach Mike Munchak took over the team’s offensive line in 1997 and held that post through the 2010 season. In 2011, he hired his former teammate, Bruce Matthews, to take control of the line. Since the start of the 1997 campaign, the Titans have been one of the NFL’s best in percentage of sacks allowed on passing plays.

On Sept. 29 against the New York Jets, the Titans became only the second NFL team in the Super Bowl era (1966-present) to go four games at the beginning of the season without committing a turnover. The streak came to an end the following week against Kansas City. The Titans joined the 1995 St. Louis Rams as the only teams in the Super Bowl era to begin the season without losing a fumble or throwing an interception through four games.

One of the positive statistical trends for the Titans in 2013 has been the team’s production on third down—on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Titans rank sixth in the NFL and third in the AFC with a percentage of 42.3 on third down. Beginning with their win at St. Louis on Nov. 3 and also including games against Jacksonville (Nov. 10), Indianapo-lis (Nov. 14) and at Oakland (Nov. 24), they experienced a four-game streak in which they converted at least 54 percent on third down. It was the first time since the beginning of the 1991 campaign that the Titans/Oilers had ad many as three consecutive games with a conversion rate of at least 54 percent on third down. Defensively, the Titans rank sixth in the NFL and fourth in the AFC with an opponent third-down percentage of 34.0. Only three of their opponents (San Francisco, Indianapolis and Arizona) have been over 40 percent.

Jake Locker is in his third NFL season. He became the starting quarterback in 2012, taking over the role the Titans envisioned for him when they chose him with the eighth overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft. Also in 2012, he was elected by his teammates as captain for the first time. Locker’s 2013 campaign ended prematurely when he was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 12 with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot. He suffered the injury on Nov. 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Prior to his foot injury, Locker started seven of the team’s first nine games of 2013. He missed a pair of starts (Oct. 6 against Kansas City and Oct. 13 at Seattle) with right hip and knee injuries. His sea-son totals included 111 completions, 1,256 passing yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions on 183 pass attempts (86.7 passer rating). He added 24 rushing attempts for 155 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Locker’s first year as a starter, 2012, was sidetracked by an injury that forced him to miss five contests all together and a significant portion of two additional games. He initially hurt his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the season opener against New England (Sept. 9). Fighting through the set-back, he went on to start the following three games, but at Houston on Sept. 30, he re-injured the shoulder. It caused him to miss the next five weeks. In 11 total games in 2012, Locker completed 177 of 314 passes for 2,176 yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions (74.0 passer rating). He also rushed for 291 yards and a score on 41 attempts. As a rookie in 2011, he appeared in five total contests as a back-up to Matt Hasselbeck. He passed for 542 yards and four touchdowns without throwing an interception, and he added 56 yards and one rushing touch-down. Against the Saints on Dec. 11, 2011, he passed for 282 yards, the second-highest total in franchise history by a rookie signal caller (331 by Jacky Lee on Nov. 25, 1960). Prior to his NFL career, Locker played four seasons at the University of Washington. A starter in 40 games, he helped turn a once-struggling program into a unit that won a bowl game in his final collegiate appearance. By the end of his career with the Huskies, Locker was at or near the top of most of the team’s passing charts. He ranked second all-time with 7,639 career passing yards and also ranked second in career attempts (1,148), completions (619) and touchdown passes (53). Additionally, he set the school’s records for rushing yards by a quarter-back in a season (986 in 2007) and career (1,939). His 29 career rushing touchdowns ranked third all-time, regardless of position. In total offense, Locker ranked second in Huskies history in career yards (9,578), attempts (1,601) and yards per game (239.5). He was re-sponsible for 496 career points (includes rushing and passing touchdowns),

second-most in UW history behind Cody Pickett. As a senior in 2010, he completed 184 of 332 passes for 2,265 yards with 17 touchdowns. More importantly, he fulfilled his commitment to return the team to a bowl game after his team suffered through an 0-12 campaign in 2008. The Huskies played Nebraska in the 2010 Holiday Bowl and won 19-7. A native of Ferndale, Wash., Locker was also a highly-touted baseball prospect. He was drafted twice by the Los Angeles Angels—in the 40th round in 2006 coming out of Ferndale High School and again in the 10th round of the 2009 draft.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), completed 11 of 20 passes for 125 yards without

throwing an interception to help the Titans earn an opening-day win. On third down, he was six-of-10 for 72 yards, including five completions to con-vert third downs.

¾ At Houston (9/15), completed 17 of 30 passes for 148 yards, two touch-downs and no interceptions (92.1 passer rating). His touchdowns included a six-yard strike to Kendall Wright in the first quarter and a 10-yarder to Delanie Walker in the fourth quarter. The latter capped a nine-play, 99-yard drive. He also rushed twice for 10 yards.

¾ Against San Diego (9/22), completed 23 of 37 passes for 299 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions (96.6 passer rating), and he added five rushing attempts for 68 yards and a touchdown. His 367 combined rushing and passing yards were the second-highest total of his career (413 against Detroit on 9/23/12). He eclipsed his previous career game high for rushing yards (51 at Indianapolis on 12/9/12). Late in the first quarter, he set a career long with a run of 39 yards. On the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, moved the offense 94 yards on 10 plays, culminating with his 34-yard touchdown strike to Justin Hunter with 15 seconds remaining. It gave Locker his second career “comeback performance,” defined as a game-winning drive when the team trailed or was tied in the fourth quarter or overtime. In the first quarter, he became the 16th passer in franchise history to reach the 3,000-yard passing mark.

¾ Against the New York Jets (9/29), went 18-of-24 for 149 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-high passer rating of 130.0 before leaving the game in the third quarter with a right hip injury. He com-pleted a one-yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker, a four-yard touch-down to Nate Washington and a 16-yarder to Justin Hunter, giving him his

Quarterback Rusty Smith is in his fourth NFL season in 2013. He was signed to the active roster on Oct. 5 after spending the first four weeks of the season on the team’s practice squad. In 2012, as the team’s No. 3 quarterback be-hind Jake Locker and Matt Hasselbeck, he ap-peared in one game, was inactive in 11 games and did not play in four additional contests. As a rookie in 2010, Smith saw action in two games, filling in for Kerry Collins and Vince Young. He completed 20 of 40 passes for 200 yards. His lone start of the season came at Houston on Nov. 28. He did not play in a game in 2011. Smith became the most prolific passer in Florida Atlantic University history during his four-year career with the Owls, amassing school records of 10,112 passing yards, 768 completions and 76 touchdowns. He led the Owls to back-to-back Bowl appearances for the first time from 2007-2008. Smith, a Jacksonville, Fla., native, was selected with the first of the Titans’ two sixth-round choices (176th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Running back Chris Johnson is in his sixth NFL season. He is the second-leading rusher in the NFL since he entered the league in 2008 and the third-leading rusher in franchise history. In 2012, Johnson played in all 16 games (15 starts) and finished the season with 276 carries for 1,243 yards (4.5 avg.) and six touchdowns. Ad-ditionally, he caught 36 passes for 232 yards (6.4 avg.). Johnson became the eighth player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first five seasons. He joined Barry Sanders (1989-98), Corey Dillon (1997-02), Curtis Martin (1995-04), Eddie George (1996-00), Eric Dickerson (1983-89), LaDainian Tomlinson (2001-08) and Tony Dorsett (1977-81) as the only players to accomplish the rare feat. The former first-round draft choice continues to build his resume as one of the top running backs in franchise history—and arguably one of the best in NFL history. Only Earl Campbell (8,574) and Eddie George (10,009) have totaled more rushing yards than Johnson in Titans or Oilers uniform. Johnson’s 6,888 career rushing yards rank sixth in NFL history through a player’s first five NFL seasons, and only four players in NFL history have had more scrimmage yards in their first five campaigns than Johnson, who

a starter in Tennessee. It was his 13th career game with a passer rating of 100 or better and his ninth career game reaching 300 passing yards. He completed a 54-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hunter in the third quarter, and with 10 seconds remaining in the game, he delivered a 10-yard, game-winning scoring strike to Kendall Wright. The score capped a 14-play, 80-yard series the Titans began with 6:10 on the clock in the fourth quarter, trailing by three points. He added 26 rushing yards on five attempts.

¾ At Indianapolis (12/1), completed 21 of 37 passes for 201 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, and he also rushed eight times for 54 yards and a score. In the third quarter, he completed a one-yard touchdown pass to Chris Johnson for his 100th career touchdown pass. Early in the second quarter, he scrambled for a 16-yard gain, and three plays later, he snuck into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown run. His third rushing touchdown of the season set a new career high.

¾ At Denver (12/8), completed 13 of 24 passes for 172 yards, one touch-down and one interception, and he also rushed one time for four yards and a first down. He completed a 57-yard pass to Justin Hunter in the first half and a 41-yard touchdown pass to Hunter in the second half.

¾ Against Arizona (12/15), completed 36 of 58 passes for 402 yards, four touchdowns and a pair of interceptions (91.3 passer rating). His attempts, completions and yardage totals all set career highs, and his 402 passing yards ranked 12th in franchise history. He became the first Titans player since Billy Volek in 2004 (492 at Oakland, Dec. 19) to record 400 passing yards in a game. Additionally, his 58 attempts tied for fourth in franchise history for a single game, and his 36 completions tied for fifth in franchise annals. His four touchdown tied his career high (fifth time) and included a 25-yard pass to Chris Johnson in the first quarter, a one-yarder to Delanie Walker in the third quarter, and a pair of touchdowns to Michael Preston late in the fourth quarter (10 and eight yards). It was the first time a Titans player passed for four touchdowns in a game since Volek (Dec. 19, 2004 at Oakland). He extended his streak to six consecutive games with a touch-down pass.

¾ At Jacksonville (12/22), completed 17 of 26 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown and an interception (82.4 passer rating). His 30-yard strike to Nate Washington early in the fourth quarter was the game-winning score. He converted a key fourth-and-two with a three-yard run.

has 8,546. Since Johnson’s arrival in the NFL in 2008, only Adrian Peter-son (7,508) has more rushing yards than him. Remarkably durable during his career, Johnson never missed a game due to injury during his first five NFL seasons. He played in every game with one exception: the 2008 season finale, which he missed as a healthy scratch in advance of the playoffs. In 2010, Johnson earned his third consecutive Pro Bowl berth. With 316 rushing attempts for 1,364 yards, he placed fourth on the NFL’s rushing leaderboard and third in the AFC. His 11 rushing touchdowns tied for sixth in the NFL and fourth in the AFC. He also led the Titans in receptions for the second consecutive season, collecting 44 passes for 245 yards and one score. In 2009, Johnson produced one of the greatest statistical seasons by a rusher in NFL history. Most notably, he became the sixth NFL player ever to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a season, totaling 2,006 yards and 14 touch-downs on 358 carries. At the time, only Dickerson (2,105), Jamal Lewis (2,066), Sanders (2,053) and Terrell Davis (2,008) had posted better rush-ing yardage totals in a season than Johnson. In 2012, Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards. O.J. Simpson (2,003) is the only other member of the 2,000-yard club. Within the group, Johnson is distinguished as the only player in NFL history to gain 2,000 rushing yards in a season and an additional 500 yards as a receiver. With 503 receiving yards, he set a new league record with 2,509 total scrimmage yards, surpassing Marshall Faulk’s 1999 re-cord output of 2,429 scrimmage yards. Johnson came away with numerous awards and accolades in 2009, including Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year, being named a starter in the Pro Bowl, a unanimous AP All-Pro selection and the FedEx Ground Player of the Year. As a rookie in 2008, Johnson produced one of the most extraordinary campaigns by a rookie running back in Titans history. Only two players in team annals – Campbell (1,450) and George (1,368) –rushed for more yards in their rookie seasons than Johnson, the 24th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. His total of 1,228 rushing yards was the third-highest in the AFC and eighth in the NFL in 2008, while his 4.9-yard average ranked first in the AFC, fourth in the NFL and sixth in franchise history. He was fifth in the AFC and 10th in the NFL with a total of 1,488 scrimmage yards. Camp-bell and Johnson are the only rookie running backs in franchise history to be named to the Pro Bowl. In his career at East Carolina University, Johnson rushed for 2,982 yards and recorded an additional 1,296 receiving yards. At the NFL Scout-ing Combine in February 2008, he posted the fastest 40-yard dash of any prospect with a time of 4.24 seconds. The Titans selected him with the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), recorded a game-high 70 yards on 25 rushing at-

Later in the first half, he passed Ernest Givins (8,704) for fourth place on the franchise’s all-time list for career net yards.

¾ At Seattle (10/13), rushed 12 times for 33 yards and added three recep-tions for 21 yards.

¾ Against San Francisco (10/20), rushed for 39 yards on nine carries and caught four passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.

He became the fourth player in fran-chise history to reach the 50-touchdown plateau, joining Eddie George (74), Earl Campbell (73) and Charlie Hennigan (51). With a seven-yard carry in the second quarter, he became the third player in franchise history to reach

#15 • WR JUSTIN HUNTERCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Wide receiver Justin Hunter was the 34th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. The Titans traded up in the second round to select the former Univer-sity of Tennessee standout. The Titans were drawn to Hunter’s production on the field and his rare physical traits. He averaged 17.1 yards per reception and scored 18 touchdowns during his three seasons with the Volunteers. His speed (4.40-second 40-yard dash), leaping ability (39½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot-7-inch broad jump) and receiving radius (6-feet 4-inches tall, 78-inch wingspan) provide quarterbacks an inviting target that is difficult for defenders to cover. Hunter’s college statistics included 106 recep-tions for 1,812 yards in 28 games (17 starts). His receiving yardage total ranked 11th on the school’s career list, and his eight 100-yard receiving performances tied Tim McGee and Peerless Price for third all-time by a Volunteer and were topped only by Joey Kent (15) and Marcus Nash (11). His 18 touchdown catches ranked fifth on the school’s career charts. As a junior in 2012, the Virginia Beach, Va., native returned from an ACL injury he suffered the previous season and led the Volunteers with 73 recep-tions for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Houston (9/15), made his regular-season debut but did not record a

reception. ¾ Against San Diego (9/22), recorded his first career catch, a 34-yard,

game-winning touchdown from Jake Locker with 15 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. He became the first NFL rookie since Jacksonville’s Er-nest Wilford on Sept. 12, 2004 to score a game-winning touchdown with 15 seconds or less remaining in the game on his first career reception.

¾ Against the New York Jets (9/22), he recorded his second career re-ception for his second career touchdown. With only two seconds remaining in the second quarter, he came down with an acrobatic 16-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Jake Locker.

¾ At Seattle (10/13), caught one pass for eight yards. ¾ At St. Louis (11/3), recorded two receptions for 13 yards, converting

third downs on each of his catches. ¾ Against Jacksonville (11/10), totaled two receptions for 51 yards. In the

third quarter, he made an acrobatic 40-yard catch that led to a field goal. The reception was the longest of his rookie season through nine games.

¾ At Oakland (11/24), tied for the team lead with six receptions for a game-high 109 yards, earning his first career 100-yard game. Early in the third quarter, on a third-and-two play, he caught a pass from Ryan Fitzpat-rick, evaded two defenders, and then raced to the end zone for a 54-yard touchdown. He became the first Titans rookie to record a 100-yard receiv-ing game since Kenny Britt in 2009. He and Kendall Wright (103 yards) became the team’s first receiving duo to each record 100 yards receiving in

a game since Dec. 19, 2004. ¾ At Indianapolis (12/1), posted one reception for nine yards. ¾ At Denver (12/8), led the team with four receptions for 114 yards and a

touchdown. Early in the first quarter, he recorded a 57-yard reception to set up the team’s first touchdown. The reception was the longest of Hunter’s rookie season and the team’s third-longest reception of 2013. In the third quarter, he caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. The catch put him over the 100-yard receiving mark for the second time in three weeks. His four touchdown receptions tied (Kendall Wright in 2012, Tyrone Calico in 2003) for the most by a franchise rookie since Chris Sanders’ nine in 1995.

RECEIVING YARDS BY UNDRAFTED PLAYERS

MOST REC. YARDS, FRANCHISE HISTORY

Washington enjoyed the best season of his career in 2011, his third campaign with the Titans. He led the team and set new career highs with 74 receptions, 1,023 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He also recorded a rushing touchdown. With his first career 1,000-yard season, Washington became the first Titans player to reach the mark since Drew Bennett and Derrick Mason each exceeded 1,000 yards in 2004. Washington appeared in 49 games with seven starts during his four seasons in Pittsburgh, where he collected 104 receptions for 1,705 yards and 12 touchdowns. He led the Steelers in yards per catch in two of his last three seasons there. Originally signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent from Tiffin University in 2005, he enjoyed a breakout season in 2006 when he led the AFC with a 17.8-yard per reception average.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), led the team with four receptions for 46 yards.

Three of his receptions earned first downs, including a 14-yarder on third-and-13 in the third quarter.

¾ At Houston (9/15), posted three receptions for 50 yards, including a 31-yard catch during a 99-yard touchdown drive.

¾ Against San Diego (9/22), led the Titans and set a new career high with 131 receiving yards, topping his previous high of 130 yards (Dec. 11, 2011 against New Orleans). His eight receptions (long of 35 yards) led the team and made up his highest total since Nov. 20, 2011. With a 13-yard catch in the fourth quarter, he went over the 100-yard receiving mark for the sixth time in his career and first time since Sept. 23, 2012 against Detroit.

¾ Against the New York Jets (9/22), recorded a game-high 105 receiving yards on four receptions with a pair of touchdowns. He recorded his second consecutive 100-yard game (131 yards against San Diego) and his sev-enth career 100-yard game. He had never before recorded back-to-back 100-yard games, and the Titans had not had a player accomplish the feat since Jared Cook in 2011 (Dec. 18 and Dec. 24). In the second quarter, he recorded his first touchdown catch of the season on a four-yard pass from Jake Locker. In the fourth quarter, he recorded his 37th career touchdown reception and set a new career long on a 77-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpat-rick. On the touchdown catch, Washington also reached the 5,000-yard receiving mark for his career.

¾ Against Kansas City (10/6), caught three passes for 30 yards. ¾ At Seattle (10/13), caught one pass for 15 yards. ¾ Against San Francisco (10/20), finished with 62 yards on three catch-

es, including a 42-yard reception in the third quarter. ¾ At St. Louis (11/3), was held without a reception, ending his streak of 85

consecutive NFL games with at least one catch. His 71-game streak with at least one reception as a member of the Titans was the fourth-longest streak in franchise history, trailing only Frank Wycheck, Ernest Givins and Drew Hill.

¾ Against Jacksonville (11/10), registered three receptions for 29 yards. ¾ Against Indianapolis (11/14), recorded a pair of receptions totaling 53

yards, including a long of 42 yards in the fourth quarter.

¾ At Oakland (11/24), caught five passes for 45 yard, including a long of 16 yards.

¾ At Indianapolis (12/1), led the team with 81 receiving yards on five re-ceptions. He became the 13th player in franchise history to reach 250 career receptions with the team. Late in the first quarter at Indianapolis, he caught a 31-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. The play gave Washington six games in 2013 with at least one reception of 30 yards or longer.

¾ At Denver (12/8), posted a pair of receptions for 24 total yards. ¾ Against Arizona (12/15), ranked second on the team with 92 yards on

seven receptions, including a long of 33 yards in overtime. ¾ At Jacksonville (12/22), led the team with six receptions and 117 re-

ceiving yards. A 30-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter put him over the 100-yard mark for the eighth time in his career and for the third time in 2013. He also had catches of 26, 25, 19, 15 and two yards. The last Titans player with three 100-yard receiving performances in a season was Drew Bennett in 2006.

THE OFFENSIVE LINE The Titans could have two or three new starters on the offensive line in 2013 from the group in 2012 that battled through numerous injuries. During the 2012 campaign, the Week 1 starters —left tackle Michael Roos, guard Steve Hutchinson, center Fernando Velasco, left guard Le-roy Harris and right tackle David Stewart—played together for the first seven games before injuries began to take their toll on the group. By the time the season ended, the Titans used six different starting offensive line combinations, and of the Week 1 starters, only Roos and Velasco were still in the lineup by season’s end. Others to record starts in 2012 were Deuce Lutui (eight starts at right guard), Mike Otto (one start at left tackle, two starts at right tackle), Kevin Matthews (two starts at center), Mitch Petrus (one start at left guard), Byron Stingily (two starts at right tackle) and Kyle DeVan (one start at center). Despite the injuries, the offensive line collectively helped pave the way for Chris Johnson’s 1,243-yard season, which ranked fifth in the AFC and ninth in the NFL. As a team, the Titans’ 4.5-yard rushing average ranked 10th in the NFL. The offense’s 3,323 net passing yards was the 15th-high-est total in team history. As soon as the 2013 NFL free agency period began in March, the Titans reached out to former Buffalo Bills standout left guard Andy Levitre, and before the conclusion of his first day on the open market, the two sides had agreed to terms on a deal that brought the veteran to Tennessee. Lev-itre started every game in his four seasons in Buffalo. The Titans later added center Rob Turner in free agency. Since enter-ing the NFL in 2007, Turner played in 57 games with 18 starts for the New York Jets (2007-11) and St. Louis Rams (2012). He was a 16-game starter in 2012—nine times at center and seven at left guard. The Titans then turned to the NFL Draft. With the 10th overall pick, they selected guard Chance Warmack, who was a three-year starter and a three-time national champion at the University of Alabama. In the fourth round, they drafted California center Brian Schwenke, who likewise was a three-year collegiate starter. For the third consecutive season, the Titans offensive line is coached by Bruce Matthews, who had a Hall of Fame playing career with the orga-nization prior to launching his coaching career.

A brief rundown of the club’s top offensive linemen:

¾ Andy Levitre, an unrestricted free agent addition from the Buffalo Bills in 2013, started all 64 games for the Bills from the time he entered the NFL as a 2009 second-round selection (51st overall) through the 2012 season. He was one of only three offensive linemen from the 2009 draft to start every game during that time. His starts included 58 at left guard,

four at left tackle, one at center and one at right guard. From 2010-12, the Bills ranked fifth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 87 and ranked fourth in average per rush (4.7). The California native was a four-time Academic All-Pac 10 honoree at Oregon State.

Levitre’s GP/GS: 15/15 (2013), 79/79 (career) ¾ Mike Otto is in his sixth NFL season in 2013. He was drafted out of

Purdue in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft and has served as a valuable reserve at both tackle and guard during his career. In 2012, he made one start at left tackle and notched two starts at right tackle.

Otto’s GP/GS: 14/2 (2013), 61/7 (career) ¾ The team’s starter at left tackle is Michael Roos,

a former second-round pick from Eastern Wash-ington. Roos started 15 games at right tackle as a rookie in 2005 and has started all but one game since then on the left side. Among other hon-ors, he was named Associated Press first-team All-Pro and selected to the Pro Bowl in 2008. In 2009, he added second-team AP All-Pro honors. On Oct. 28, 2012, he had his streak of 119 con-secutive starts broken due to an appendectomy earlier in the week.

Roos’ GP/GS: 15/15 (2013), 142/142 (career) ¾ Brian Schwenke was selected by the Titans in the fourth round (107th

overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft. In four seasons with the California Gold-en Bears (2009-12), Schwenke played in 48 of 50 possible games and started games at three different positions—16 starts at left guard, 12 at center and eight at right guard. As a senior, he played center for the first time and was named first-team All-Pac-12 by the league’s coaches.

Schwenke’s GP/GS: 8/8 (2013), 8/8 (career) ¾ Chris Spencer was signed by the Titans on April 5, 2013. He is a veta-

ran of eight previous NFL seasons who has starting experience at all three interior line positions. The former first-round pick from Ole Miss spent six years with the Seattle Seahawks (2005-09) before playing two years with the Chicago Bears (2011-12). He totaled 105 career games and 89 total starts with the Seahawks and Bears, including 62 starts at center, 19 starts at right guard and eight starts at left guard. In 2012, he appeared in 10 games with five starts (three at left guard, two at right guard) for the Bears.

Spencer’s GP/GS: 15/1 (2013), 120/90 (career) ¾ At right tackle, David “Big Country” Stewart’s eighth NFL season

came to a premature end due to a leg injury he suffered during the 12th game of the season (Dec. 2 against Houston). Prior to that, the former fourth-round pick from Mississippi State only missed two starts since permanently entering the starting lineup in 2006.

Stewart’s GP/GS: 12/12 (2013), 116/116 (career)

Guard Andy Levitre


¾ Byron Stingily was selected by the Titans in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. After not playing as a rookie, he saw action in five games in 2012, including starts in the final two games of the season at right tackle. He is capable of backing up both tackle positions.

Stingily’s GP/GS: 4/1 (2013), 9/3 (career) ¾ Rob Turner joined the Titans as an unrestricted free agent in March

2013 and started the first six games of the season before suffering a shoulder injury. He was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 30. Turner arrived with 57 games of NFL experience with the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams. In his only season with the Rams in 2012, he started all 16 games—nine at center and seven at left guard. The University of New Mexico product originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Jets in 2007.

Turner’s GP/GS: 6/6 (2013), 63/24 (career) ¾ Right guard Chance Warmack was selected with the 10th overall selec-

tion in the 2013 NFL Draft from the University of Alabama. During his four-year career at Alabama, the Crimson Tide won three BCS National Championships, taking the title during his freshman (2009), junior (2011) and senior (2012) seasons. He started the final 40 games of his college career at left guard, including all 14 contests as a senior in 2012.

Safety Bernard Pollard is in his first season with the Titans and his eighth overall NFL campaign in 2013. Pollard spent the last two years with the Balti-more Ravens following stints with the Kansas City Chiefs (2006-08) and Houston Texans (2009-10). He has started 85 of his 105 career regular-season games and accumulated 576 tackles, nine sacks, nine interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries.

He then joined the Ravens and made an immediate impact, starting 13 games in 2011 en route to setting a career high with 13 passes defensed. The Ravens ranked second against the run and led the NFL in red-zone defense. A native of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Pollard spent three seasons at Purdue Uni-versity, where he played in 36 games (35 starts). He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors at the conclusion of his sophomore campaign.

#21 • S GEORGE WILSONCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Safety George Wilson is in his first season with the Titans after spending most of the last nine years with the Buffalo Bills. He signed with the Ti-tans as a free agent on Feb. 11, 2013. In 2012, Wilson started all 16 games for the first time in his career. He ranked second on the squad with 98 tackles and added five passes defensed. In 92 career games with the Bills, he contribut-ed 362 tackles, 12 interceptions, 22 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. Additionally, he totaled 57 career tackles on special teams. Wilson originally entered the NFL with the Detroit Lions in 2004 as an undrafted free agent wide receiver. He was waived by the Lions at the end of his rookie training camp and subsequently spent a month on their prac-tice squad. After being released by the Lions, the Bills signed him to their practice squad. After appearing in three contests on special teams in 2005, Wilson spent all but one week of the 2006 campaign on Buffalo’s practice squad. He was inactive once as a member of the 53-man roster. During the 2007 offseason, he transitioned from wide receiver to safe-ty. The move paid dividends, as he went on to play in 12 games with nine starts that season. He intercepted a pair of passes and scored twice—once on an interception and once on a fumble return. Elected as a team captain for each of his final five seasons in Buffalo, Wilson would go on to start 55 total games at safety while maintaining a leadership role on special teams. Additionally, he was honored with the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2009 and 2011. The 2011 season also saw Wilson record a career-high 104 tackles and tie his career high with four interceptions, a mark he initially reached in 2009. A native of Paducah, Ky., Wilson was a two-time all-state selection at wide receiver for Paducah Tilghman High School. He then went to the University of Arkansas, where he hauled in 144 passes for 2,151 yards and 16 touchdowns in 44 career games. He led the team in receiving during his junior and senior seasons with the Razorbacks.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), appeared primarily on special teams and led the

club with five total special teams tackles. He also provided one of the key plays late in the game, corralling an onside kick attempt by the Steelers with less than two minutes remaining and the Titans holding a seven-point lead.

#2 • K ROB BIRONASCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Kicker Rob Bironas, the franchise’s second all-time leading scorer, is in his ninth season in the NFL, all of which he has spent as a member of the Titans. In 2012, he made 25 of 31 field goal attempts and all 35 PAT attempts to total 110 points. He tied Al Del Greco’s (1995-2000) franchise record with his sixth consecutive 100-point season. Bironas has positioned his name among some of the franchise’s all-time greats at the position and even among some of the NFL’s all-time best. Through the 2012 campaign, Bironas was the third-most accurate kicker in NFL history, connecting on 214 of 250 attempts (85.6 percent). From Biro-nas’ first season in 2005 through 2012, only one player, David Akers (228), made more field goals than Bironas. From long distance, Bironas’ accomplishments are perhaps even more impressive. Among all players with 100 or more field goals since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, Bironas is the third-most accurate from 40 yards or longer, making 75.7 percent of his attempts (87 or 115). He set a league record in 2011 with 10 consecutive games kicking a field goal of at least 40 yards. From 50-plus yards, Bironas is the NFL’s second all-time leader as well at 71.0 percent (22 of 31). The 2007 Pro Bowl and Associated Press All-Pro selection owns or shares numerous club records, including longest field goal (60 yards), most field goals in a game (eight, also an NFL record), most consecutive games with a field goal (20), most consecutive field goals (20, three times, tied Al Del Greco), most game-winning field goals (11) and most consecutive PATs (244). Only Del Greco has accounted for more total points or kicked more field goals than Bironas in the history of the organization. In his career, Bironas has made 11 game-winning field goals, a total that ranks first in club annals (Del Greco, 10). Bironas enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career in 2011, con-necting on 29 of 32 field goals. His 90.6 percent success rate was the second-highest of his career, the fourth-highest in the NFL in 2011 and the third-highest in franchise history. Bironas finished the season with 121 points, the seventh-best total in franchise history. The former Arena Football League kicker and part-time security guard originally signed in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers as a free agent in 2002. He joined the Titans as a free agent on June 21, 2005.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), made all three field goal attempts and his only extra

point attempt. He made his first field goal from 26 yards to give the Titans a 10-2 lead in the third quarter and added field goals from 44 and 27 yards in the fourth quarter. The performance gave him 32 career games with three or more field goals.

Punter Brett Kern is in his sixth NFL seasons and his fourth full campaign with the Titans. Kern produced one of the best punting sea-sons in team history in 2012. He set new franchise records with a gross punting average of 47.6 yards and a net punting average of 40.4 yards. Thirty of his 81 punts were placed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (37.0 percent). At the end of the 2012 season, Kern ranked as the franchise’s all-time career leader in both gross punting average (44.7 yards) and net punting average (39.8).

#83 • WR/KR/PR MARC MARIANICLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Wide receiver/returner Marc Mariani (pro-nounced Mary-Annie), in his fourth NFL season in 2013, will spend a second consecutive campaign on injured reserve. His 2012 season was ended prematurely with a leg injury. In a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 23, he fractured his left leg and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. He returned to the lineup in time for the start of the 2013 preseason. However, in his first appearance, an Aug. 8 matchup with the Washington Redskins, he injured his shoulder making a block. He was subsequently placed on injured reserve on Aug. 31. During his first two years, Mariani emerged as one of the NFL’s top return men and one of the best at his job in franchise history. In 2011, Mariani returned 46 punts (third in franchise history) for an average of 10.7 yards per return, which ranked sixth in the AFC and eighth in Titans/Oilers history. He also averaged 23.4 yards on 32 kickoff returns. After winning a roster spot as a rookie in 2010, Mariani embarked on arguably one of the best seasons by a returner in franchise history and earned a Pro Bowl berth at the conclusion of his rookie year. He ranked fourth in the NFL and first among all rookies with a 12.2-yard punt return average, which also ranked sixth in franchise history. On kickoff returns, he was ninth in the NFL and second among rookies with a 25.5-yard average. With a league-leading combined total of 1,859 yards on kickoff and punt returns in 2010, Mariani broke Derrick Mason’s single-season fran-chise record, set in 2000, of 1,794 yards on returns. Mariani also broke a 47-year old franchise record by surpassing Bobby Jancik’s 1963 total of 1,317 kickoff return yards. Mariani was selected by the Titans in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft as the 222nd overall player chosen in the draft. A native of Havre, Mont., Mariani became the most prolific wide receiv-er in Montana Grizzlies history, setting records for career receiving yards (3,018), receiving touchdowns (29) and career all-purpose yards (5,441). He also averaged 15.1 yards per career punt return and 27.6 yards per kick-off return. En route to being named an Associated Press All-American as a senior, he set a school record with 1,479 yards on 80 receptions. He scored 15 total touchdowns in his final season, scoring 13 times on receptions and twice on returns.

#26 • RB/KR/PR LEON WASHINGTON Running back/returner Leon Washington was signed by the Titans as a free agent on Nov. 26, 2013 with the expectation that the two-time Pro Bowl selection would take over the team’s full-time return duties. Washington (5-8, 192) is in his eighth NFL season. From 2006 through 2009, he played for the New York Jets, followed by a three-year stint (2010–12) in Seattle. Early in the 2013 offseason, he signed with the New England Patriots but was released on Nov. 23 after injuries limited him to two games. Washington’s eight career kickoff return touchdowns are tied with Josh Cribbs’ total for the most in NFL history. Prior to his arrival in Tennessee, his career totals included 245 kickoff returns for a 25.9-yard average and 168 punt returns for a 9.9-yard average in 105 games. He earned Pro Bowl invites as a returner following the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

LB ZACH BROWN ¾ As a sophomore at North Carolina, Brown set the Tar Heels school re-

cord in the indoor 60-meter dash with a time of 6.72 seconds. ¾ Since his childhood, Brown has always been interested in deep sea

creatures. Eventually, he would liked to have a huge circular fish tank in his home with a few small sharks.

¾ Brown was a unique athlete in high school. He was a state champion wrestler and a two-time state champion sprinter in Maryland. As a se-nior, he posted a 29-0 record on the wrestling mat, recording 17 pins and five technical falls. He also captured the state class 3-A title in the 100-meter dash (10.67 seconds) and 200-meter dash (21.52), becom-ing the first player in school history to win a state title in track.

CB TOMMIE CAMPBELL ¾ Prior to enrolling at California (Pa.) in 2010, Campbell held a full-time job

as a janitor for six months at Pittsburgh International Airport. ¾ Campbell comes from a storied prep football program at Aliquippa

DE LAVAR EDWARDS ¾ Edwards and his family were one of many in New Orleans affected by

Hurricane Katrina. The storm hit when he was 15 and a high school sophomore. Edwards was displaced to Austin, Texas, with family mem-bers. He then returned to his school, which was originally located in New Orleans but had moved entirely to Niceville, Fla., for a few months and then finally to Baton Rouge where he finished his high school ca-reer.

football and study electrical engineering. He transferred to Maryland as a walk-on after his freshman season and eventually earned a scholar-ship with the Terrapins.

LB ZAVIAR GOODEN ¾ At the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, Gooden showed his speed and ath-

leticism by posting a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, the top time among his class of linebackers. When the Titans drafted him, it marked the second time in as many years they selected the fastest linebacker available in the draft. Their 2012 second-rounder, Zach Brown, led his group with a 4.44-second 40-yard dash.

¾ His father, Maury, who works for UPS in Pflugerville, Texas, took a sec-ond job to afford the trips to Missouri to watch his son play.

¾ Gooden began his career at Missouri as a safety. Initially reluctant to switch, he moved to linebacker after his 2008 redshirt season and by 2010 was thriving as a 13-game starter.

RB SHONN GREENE ¾ Greene was raised by his grandmother, Cheryl Greene. He has a big

heart with “Cheryl” tattooed in the middle of it on his neck. ¾ Greene took a job assembling furniture at McGregor’s while taking

classes at Kirkwood Community College in Iowa City.

S MICHAEL GRIFFIN ¾ Griffin grew up playing football with his fraternal twin brother, Marcus,

as a teammate. Both attended the University of Texas with Marcus red-shirting his first season while Michael played immediately.

¾ Griffin is the product of two military parents. His father, Ronald, served more than 20 years with the U.S. Air Force, while his mother, Mae, was in the U.S. Navy for more than two decades. The couple met while serving in Korea and were later married and had twin sons, Michael and Marcus.

DT SAMMIE HILL ¾ At Stillman, Hill and two college teammates were heroic in their efforts

to save a man from a burning house. The three Stillman players were


TITANS TIDBITS: THE BEST OF TITANS OFF-THE-FIELD HIGHLIGHTSdriving by a house when they noticed a distressed woman who needed help. She told Hill and his teammates that her father was inside and they proceeded to rescue him from the burning building.

¾ In the offseason, Hill likes to go home to visit family and friends. By join-ing the Titans, he is now just a short three-hour ride from his hometown of West Blocton, Ala.

¾ Hill is a big collector of hats and shoes. His favorite hat is his St. Louis Cardinals hat, and his favorite shoe is the Nike Air Force Ones.

WR JUSTIN HUNTER ¾ Hunter was one of the nation’s top track-and-field athletes in high school.

He finished as the top junior in the long jump at the 2010 USA Outdoor Championships with a leap of 25-feet-10¾-inches and qualified for IAAF World Junior Championships. Track & Field News rated him the coun-try’s No. 3 long jumper, No. 7 high jumper and No. 14 triple jumper. He won Virginia state titles in both the high jump and long jump and finished second in the triple jump.

¾ Hunter continued his track and field career as a freshman at Tennes-see. He was named first-team USTFCCCA Indoor All-American in the long jump after finishing eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a leap of 25-feet 4½-inches. He was also named to the SEC Indoor All-Freshman Team as the highest finishing rookie in the long jump at the league championships. Earlier in the season he set the Tennessee freshman indoor record with a long jump of 26-feet 1½-inches. He also competed in the triple jump and placed 10th in the high jump at the SEC Outdoor meet.

DT ANTONIO JOHNSON ¾ Johnson faced a difficult decision entering his senior year in high school

because his football eligibility was exhausted. Instead of staying in school, Johnson and his parents decided the best thing for him to do was drop out of high school and obtain his GED. After gaining his GED Johnson enrolled at Mississippi Delta Community College to play foot-ball and improved his grades before eventually transferring to Missis-sippi State.

¾ Raised in Leland, Miss., (population of 5,500) Johnson is a down to earth person that leans on his work ethic and humble beginnings. John-son has attended Beautuh Grove Baptist Church in Leland his entire life.

¾ Johnson was given the nickname “Mook” by his mother because that was the only name that he would warmly acknowledge as a baby.

RB CHRIS JOHNSON ¾ Johnson is one of the NFL’s most popular players on Twitter. He can be

followed at @ChrisJohnson28. He also can be followed on Instagram at chrisjohnsontwo8.

¾ At his website, www.chrisjohnsonhq.com., Johnson has his own clothing line for sale. He launched the brand in December 2010, and it is also available at several retailers in the Nashville, Orlando and East Carolina areas.

¾ Johnson decided to attend East Carolina because the Pirates offered him the best opportunity to play running back. Other schools that re-cruited him wanted him to play cornerback. His versatility as an athlete came in handy as a junior at ECU when he played slot receiver to limit his cutting on a turf toe injury.

¾ At the NFL Scouting Combine in February 2008, Johnson was timed in the 40-yard dash at 4.24 seconds. While a few other players have been recorded at faster times at other venues using a handheld stopwatch, Johnson’s time is the fastest in the combine in the last 15 years and believed by most to be the fastest ever electronically timed 40-yard dash at the combine, which began in 1982.

¾ Johnson, who was a star in track and field as well as football in high school, finished second in the 100-meter dash at the Florida state meet to Walter Dix, who went on to win the bronze medal at the 2008 Sum-mer Olympics.

¾ In 2012, Johnson launched his own foundation, Team CJ2K (www.teamcj2k.org), to partner with Learning Through Sports, East Carolina University, United Way, Boys and Girl Club and Middle Tennessee State University to “deliver the most amount of help to the largest number of kids possible.” Efforts will center on educational programs for under-served youth. In addition to pledging his own money for the cause,

Johnson is hoping to get other individuals and businesses to pledge a certain amount for every yard he gains rushing the football.

P BRETT KERN ¾ Kern’s father, Cal, owns a collegiate baseball team in Niagara Falls,

N.Y., called the Niagara Power. The team plays in the New York Col-legiate Baseball League and has had players from Lipscomb (Nashville) University in recent seasons. The summer of 2013 marks the club’s seventh season.

¾ Kern is an avid golfer that sports a 1 handicap. He picked the game up late in his high school years and caddied for three summers at Inverness Golf Club while in college.

In 2011, Kern competed in The Vinny, a local golf fundraising tournament hosted by singers Vince Gill and Amy Grant, and finished fourth in the event.

DL KARL KLUG ¾ Klug has an identical twin brother, Kevin, who played linebacker at Min-

nesota State University, Mankato. As high school teammates, Kevin played fullback, opening holes for Karl, the team’s running back. They have an older sister, Kelsey.

¾ Klug arrived on Iowa’s campus as an undersized defender who weighed only 207 pounds at the time.

¾ Locker was very involved with charitable endeavors while at Washington and volunteered a lot of his time at local children’s hospitals. He started a foundation with teammates called “Touchdowns for Kids” that benefit-ted youth hospitals.

¾ Locker was an outstanding baseball player in high school. He was origi-nally selected in the 40th round by the Los Angeles Angels as a senior in 2006 coming out of Ferndale High School and the organization again tabbed him in the 10th round of the 2009 draft to play centerfield in their minor league system. Locker actually returned to Washington as a walk-on for his senior campaign, as the Angels paid his scholarship costs during the fall 2010 semester.

¾ Locker played outfield for the Bellingham Bells of the West Coast Col-legiate Baseball League in 2008, where he was named by Baseball America as the league’s top prospect. After suffering an offseason injury, he played in just 10 games, hitting .273 with one home run before return-ing to Washington for 2008 football fall camp. An anonymous baseball scout quoted in Baseball America said Locker “could be a potential Hall of Famer.”

¾ Of all the impressive tailgate parties that take place before and after University of Washington football games, one of the most formidable the last few years was held by the “Ferndawgs,” a passionate group of fam-ily and friends from Ferndale who cheered at every home game Locker played. While the Ferndawgs drape themselves in Washington purple and gold, very few of them attended the university.

WR MARC MARIANI ¾ Mariani has overcome a great deal of adversity to make it to the NFL.


TITANS TIDBITS: THE BEST OF TITANS OFF-THE-FIELD HIGHLIGHTSHe was a non-preferred walk-on at Division I-AA Montana before work-ing his way up the Grizzlies’ depth chart and finally earning a scholarship as a junior.

¾ Mariani thought he was the victim of a practical joke when the Titans called to inform him that he was drafted. The former Montana teammate of then Titans Coach Jeff Fisher’s son, Brandon, had been on the phone back and forth with his buddy all day. Just before the Titans were sched-uled to pick in the seventh round, he got another call from Brandon. He was in the draft room at Baptist Sports Park and Mariani was a Titan.

DT MIKE MARTIN ¾ Martin had a very successful prep career off the gridiron as well. He was

a two-time state champion wrestler and an All-American as a senior. Martin was also a record-setting shot-putter and discus thrower in track and field. He broke former NFL star T.J. Duckett’s Michigan prep shot put record on his way to a state championship as a senior.

¾ Martin is interested in film making and he has his own YouTube Chan-nel — GoMikeMartin. He documented his senior year and developed his own web series.

¾ Martin loves dogs and shows working class Rottweilers. He was named the National Junior Handler of the Year.

LB COLIN MCCARTHY ¾ McCarthy survived a frightening car accident in 2007. He was asleep

as a passenger in a car driven by a teammate when the teammate fell asleep. The car flipped six times, but McCarthy left the scene without serious injury. Two teammates—the driver and another passenger—suffered injuries that ended their football seasons.

¾ McCarthy grew up outside of Philadelphia and then moved to Tampa prior to high school.

¾ McCarthy was given jersey No. 44 when he got to Miami, the same num-ber that was worn by another Hurricanes linebacker to whom McCarthy was often compared, Dan Morgan.

CB JASON MCCOURTY ¾ McCourty played his last three seasons at Rutgers with his identical

twin brother, Devin. The duo held down the starting cornerback spots for Scarlet Knights together for two years. Devin, who redshirted his first season at Rutgers, was a first-round draft pick by the New England Patriots in 2010. They also have an older brother, Larry.

¾ During the 2013 offseason, Jason and Devin spearheaded “Tackle Sick-le Cell,” a campaign that aimed to educate the public, increase blood donations, and raise money and awareness for the fight against sickle cell disease.

¾ McCourty excelled off the field at Rutgers as he was a semifinalist for the prestigious Vincent dePaul Draddy Trophy given to the college football player with the best combination of academics, community service and on-field performance.

¾ McCourty and teammate Kenny Britt were featured in the July 2012 is-sue of GQ within the magazine’s feature on Nashville.

FB COLLIN MOONEY ¾ Mooney is a former West Point graduate that signed with the Titans

after spending the previous three years fulfilling his commitment to the U.S. Army. He was commissioned in the field artillery branch of the U.S. Army.

¾ He currently serves in the U.S. Army Reserves, fulfilling his time commit-ment during the offseason.

¾ In a team meeting on May 28, 2013, Mooney was surprised by visiting officials from the U.S. Army with an Army Achievement Medal for work Mooney did for the U.S. Army Reserve during the 2013 offseason.

¾ In 2011, Mooney’s childhood friend and West Point roommate, 1st Lt. Dimitri del Castillo, was killed in combat in Afghanistan. Mooney says he thinks about his friend on a daily basis.

¾ Mooney’s paternal grandfather, U.S. Army Colonel Charles Mooney, served in the Korean War and Vietnam during the 1960s and was later stationed at the Pentagon.

DE DERRICK MORGAN ¾ Morgan changed his jersey number from 90 to 91 during the 2012 off-

season. He is familiar with the number 91, having worn it during his three seasons at Georgia Tech. Former Titans defensive lineman Jason Jones wore 91 in Morgan’s first two seasons with the club.

¾ Morgan credits his mother, Pamela Wooden, as his primary role model in life. He also says that she should be credited with his football suc-cess, since, even as a single parent, she managed to take him to every practice and every game during his youth.

OT MIKE OTTO ¾ Otto’s decision to attend Purdue and play football was heavily supported

because of his family’s deep roots at the university. His father, Ken, played basketball at Purdue from 1971 to 1973, and his mother, Judy; sister, Jennifer; brother, Brian; two uncles; and three aunts also are Pur-due graduates.

¾ Otto’s great appreciation for blues and rock music has inspired him to one day open up a blues and rock bar where people can listen to live music.

¾ Otto enjoys traveling around the world during the offseason. In 2008, he visited Taiwan for a week with his brother-in-law to learn the culture and experience the country. In March 2010, he spent a week golfing in Ireland. In 2012, he and his then girlfriend, Katrina, spent two weeks in Brussels, London and Amsterdam with teammate Michael Roos and his wife. In 2013, he got married to Katrina in Ireland.

DE ROPATI PITOITUA ¾ Pitoitua was born in Samoa. He came to the United States in 1995.

S BERNARD POLLARD ¾ Established the Pollard’s Helping Hands Foundation, focusing on feed-

ing the hungry of the urban core. In Dec. 2011, he hosted a pantry drive at Pimlico Elementary School in Baltimore that provided over 300 families in need with groceries they could use to sustain them through the post-holiday school break.

WR MICHAEL PRESTON ¾ Preston was literally a late bloomer. The 6-foot-5-inch, 206-pound

wideout measured at just 5-foot-4 as freshman at Euclid High School. Preston’s coach at Euclid, Mike Rezzolla, calls it “the most incredible physical transformation of a player I’ve ever seen.” As a high schooler, Preston figured he would eventually grow as his dad is 6-foot-3, his mom is 5-foot-11 and his brother is 6-foot-5.

OT MICHAEL ROOS ¾ Roos is a travel enthusiast and has spent time during each of the last

several offseasons in Europe. ¾ In 2010, Roos pledged $500,000 toward the Eastern Washington Uni-

versity’s “Red Turf” project at Woodward Field in Cheney, Wash. ¾ In June 2010, Roos launched his annual Michael Roos Foundation Fish

and Chip event at the Coeur d’Alene Resort in Idaho. The three-day event features a night cruise and live auction, bass fishing tournament and golf tournament.

¾ Roos became just the second Eastern Washington player in school his-tory to have his jersey number permanently retired with a ceremony on Oct. 24, 2009.

¾ Roos spent the first 10 years of his life in the former Soviet Republic of Estonia, where his family lived in poverty despite his mother, Mae Bates, teaching violin during the day and working nights at a hotel desk. In 1992, one year after the collapse of the Soviet Union, his mother im-migrated with him, his brother and his sister to Vancouver, Wash., where they lived with an aunt.

¾ He earned a scholarship to Eastern Washington after playing one sea-son at tight end in high school. He redshirted as a tight end on the football team and also redshirted on the basketball team for one season before focusing exclusively on football. He spent a year playing on the defensive line before switching to offensive tackle, where he started at left tackle every game for the next three seasons, a total of 35 consecu-tive contests.


TITANS TIDBITS: THE BEST OF TITANS OFF-THE-FIELD HIGHLIGHTS ¾ His mother now teaches English as a second language at an Atlanta,

Ga., elementary school. ¾ Roos is believed to be the first Estonian to play in the NFL.

C BRIAN SCHWENKE ¾ Schwenke was an avid surfer during the time he spent living in Hawaii

as a result of his father’s job in the Navy. ¾ His father, Brian Sr., was a SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and

Escape) trainer in the Navy from 1990–2002. ¾ Schwenke spent time training prior to the 2013 NFL Draft with the Titans’

eventual first-round pick, guard Chance Warmack.

CB COTY SENSABAUGH ¾ During the 2013 offseason, Sensabaugh launched a 10-week cam-

paign to become The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Man of the Year in Nashville. He personally titled his campaign “A Fight for Jamaar” in honor of his brother. When Sensabaugh was 11, his older brother, Ja-maar, died from leukemia a week after being diagnosed. Unique events that highlighted Coty’s personal campaign included a fashion show with his teammates, as well as a fellowship dinner in his hometown of King-sport. Sensabaugh is determined to launch a non-profit organization in Jamaar’s name to raise awareness and money to combat the disease, and he wants to continue to be an active spokesperson for the cause.

¾ He grew up on the same street in Kingsport, Tenn., as his second cous-in, former NFL safety Gerald Sensabaugh.

¾ Sensabaugh is a self-described “shoe fanatic.”

QB RUSTY SMITH ¾ Smith’s parents, Russell and Melody, own two restaurants called Russ-

Doe’s Sandwich Shops in Jacksonville. He grew up working in the res-taurants and still helps out when he is in town. One of the most popular sandwiches is the “Russ-Doe’s Special,” which includes ground beef, small diced onions with the family’s “special” ingredient. Only a handful of people actually know what the ingredient is.

¾ Smith became the first player ever drafted out of Florida Atlantic when the Titans selected him in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

¾ When he was in high school Smith began attending the same church in Jacksonville as former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The two signal callers know each other and have worked out together.

C/G CHRIS SPENCER ¾ Spencer was part of the nationally ranked and undefeated Madison

Central (Miss.) High School football team in 2000. The team had five future NFL players on the roster.

¾ Spencer has competition for the most athletic person in his family. His wife, Katherine, was an all-conference volleyball player at Coastal Caro-lina.

S DAIMION STAFFORD ¾ At Norco (Calif.) High School, his coach was Todd Gerhart, the father of

Minnesota Vikings running back Toby Gerhart. ¾ Navigating through his youth was not always an easy process for Staf-

ford and his two sisters. But thanks to the efforts of many, he persevered. Those that inspired and helped him included his mother, LaTanya Hen-derson; Norco High School guidance counselor Kristine McCollough; Norco football coach Todd Gerhart; and Daniel Kelley, the head of his “second family.” Stafford spent time living with the Gerhart and Kelley families during high school.

TE CRAIG STEVENS ¾ Stevens enjoys designing and making furniture in his free time. He has

a workshop in his garage and has made a variety of pieces, including end tables, shelving units, cabinets, chess sets and unique decorative fixtures.

¾ Stevens has picked up a new hobby in fly fishing. He has made several trips and even makes his own fly fishing nets.

¾ He has a younger brother, Eric, who signed as a rookie free agent with the St. Louis Rams in 2013 following a four-year career as a fullback at

Cal. He has two other brothers, Jeff and Brett, who are firefighters with the L.A. City Fire Department.

¾ Stevens entered the NFL with one class remaining to obtain his degree in legal studies. He hopes to one day become involved in the law, fol-lowing in the footsteps of his father, Mark, a deputy sheriff in L.A. County.

¾ Stevens switched his jersey number to 19 as a senior at Cal in honor of the late Mario Danelo, a close friend and kicker for the University of Southern California. Danelo, who wore No. 19 for the Trojans, died tragically in January 2007 in the friends’ hometown of San Pedro, Calif.

T DAVID STEWART ¾ During the offseason in 2009 and 2010, Stewart participated in a chari-

table bass fishing tournament and turkey hunt to raise money for wound-ed soldiers. The fundraising effort supported “Huntin’ for Heroes” and Paralyzed Veterans of America-Outdoor Recreation Heritage Fund to benefit wounded veterans across the country.

¾ In high school, Stewart was nicknamed “Big Country” by friends, which stuck with him through his time at Mississippi State. Many friends and teammates still refer to him by the nickname.

¾ Stewart was raised near Decatur, Ala., in the small town of Moulton. He was employed on his family’s farm for much of his childhood, building fences and working with the cattle and chickens among a variety of daily tasks. He hopes to someday run his own chicken farm.

¾ His father, Benny, is a truck driver, and his mother, Kathy, is a registered nurse in Moulton.

T BYRON STINGILY ¾ Prior to the 2011 NFL Draft, Stingily trained with former Titans’ Pro Bowl-

er Brad Hopkins three days per week at D1 in Franklin, Tenn. ¾ Stingily’s off-the-field interests include working on cars, particularly low-

riders. He started the hobby as a youngster refurbishing with his uncle.

TE TAYLOR THOMPSON ¾ Although Thompson spent four college seasons as a defensive end, he

was not foreign to the offensive side of the ball. At Prosper (Texas) High School, he caught 58 passes for 960 yards as a senior wide receiver, in addition to playing defensive end and punter. Recruited by Vanderbilt as a tight end, he initially committed to the Commodores but then enrolled at Southern Methodist in order to stay closer to home. Under new head coach June Jones, however, SMU employed a spread offense that did not use a tight end, and Thompson decided to make his mark at defen-sive end. It was not until the final month of his senior season there that Jones encouraged him to think about making the switch back to tight end. He did, and in February 2012, Titans scouts became convinced of his potential at the Players All-Star Classic in Little Rock, Ark.

¾ The outdoor enthusiast enjoys golf, fishing and rock climbing. He also plays the guitar.

CB ALTERRAUN VERNER ¾ During the 2012 offseason, Verner picked up golf as a hobby and began

taking individual lessons. ¾ In 2011, Verner held his first annual youth football camp at Mayfair

(Lakewood, Calif.) High School. In 2012, his fiancée at the time (now his wife), Sina’e Ward, helped him host a cheerleading camp that coincided with the football camp.

¾ During the 2011 offseason, Verner returned to UCLA to complete his degree in mathematics/applied sciences.

¾ Verner did an internship with California Bank and Trust during the sum-mer of his junior year at UCLA. He surveyed various positions and learned the inner workings of the financial institution.

TE DELANIE WALKER ¾ Walker has teamed with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to help

raise awareness about their campaign after losing his aunt and uncle in a horrific accident near New Orleans just hours after Super Bowl XLVII. The morning after San Francisco’s loss to Baltimore at the Superdome, an alleged drunk driver killed Alice and Bryan Young. A few hours earlier, Walker had hugged Alice and Bryan at the team’s postgame party. He wants to start a foundation to keep memories of them alive and also help


TITANS TIDBITS: THE BEST OF TITANS OFF-THE-FIELD HIGHLIGHTSsupport his eight cousins left behind.

¾ Over the years, Walker has owned quite a selection of cars, ranging from classics to newer models. His collection has included a 1964 Chevy Impala, 1972 Buick Skylark, 1989 Camaro IROC-Z28, 2008 Mer-cedes-Benz CL63 AMG and 2010 F250 truck. Walker’s passion for cars can be traced back to his childhood, where he would spend countless hours refurbishing old autos with the help of his friend’s father, who was a mechanic.

¾ For a 240-pound tight end, Walker makes a lot of tacklers miss. His speed on the field can be linked to his success on the track as a high school senior. Despite lettering only one year, he won the Division III 100m (10.6) and long jump (21-5) titles, while also serving as a member of the winning 4x100m relay team at the 2002 Miramonte League Meet. Delanie’s younger brother, Anthony, competed in the 400m and 4x400m at the collegiate level, and has his hopes set on making the Olympic team one day.

WR KEVIN WALTER ¾ Walter has done a lot of work in the community during his NFL career.

He works with the Sunshine Kids and has been involved with the Texas Children’s Hospital.

¾ Walter is an avid golfer. Some of the exclusive courses he has played include Pine Valley in Clementon, N.J. and Cypress Point in Pebble Beach, Calif.

G CHANCE WARMACK ¾ At Alabama, Warmack developed the custom of rolling up his jersey to

just under the numbers as a way to stay cooler. Soon, the fad became known as “Warmacking,” and fans began posting photos on social me-dia of their exposed bellies.

¾ Warmack spent time training prior to the 2013 NFL Draft with the Titans’ eventual fourth-round pick, center Brian Schwenke.

¾ Warmack attended Westlake High School in Atlanta, Ga., where he was a teammate during his freshman and sophomore years with current Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

WR NATE WASHINGTON ¾ By signing with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2005, Wash-

ington became the first Tiffin University player in the modern era to play in the NFL.

¾ Following his first Super Bowl victory in 2005, Washington received the key to city from his hometown, Toledo, Ohio and his college town of Tiffin, Ohio.

¾ Washington was a lifeguard at a community pool for three summers when he was in high school.

WR DAMIAN WILLIAMS ¾ During the 2012 and 2013 offseasons, Williams made mission trips Gua-

temala. Each trip he spent a week helping build houses, distributing es-sentials to the locals and teaching young children at schools. Williams said the goodwill visits were eye-opening, life-changing events.

¾ During the 2013 offseason, Williams trained in Arlington, Texas, with a group athletes that included Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt.

¾ Williams founded a campus Bible study group known as Generate USC along with longtime teammate Mitch Mustain at Southern Cal. The group evolved to 85 people per week and Williams then passed the leadership torch to current USC quarterback Matt Barkley.

S GEORGE WILSON ¾ Wilson was named Buffalo Bills Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2009

and 2011. ¾ Wilson entered the NFL as a rookie free agent wide receiver in 2004 and

switched to safety in 2007. ¾ Wilson made his acting debut, appearing in Mary J. Blige’s music video

“Hood Love” as the lead male and Blige’s love interest. ¾ Wilson hosts an annual charity bowling event and an annual football and

cheer camp in his hometown of Paducah, Ky.

DE KAMERION WIMBLEY ¾ In February 2013, Wimbley appeared on the Rachael Ray show in a

cooking competition with New York Giants tight end Martellus Bennett and Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney. Wimbley won the contest, judged by former NFL player Tony Siragusa, with his andouille sausage and shrimp over grits.

¾ In March 2012, Wimbley competed in the American Ninja Warrior com-petition at Florida International University in Miami. His preliminary and regional final runs through the challenging obstacle course were shown on NBC and the G4 network.

¾ Wimbley counts Animal Planet as his favorite television network to watch. He is an animal lover and enjoys attending different dog shows in his free time.

¾ Wimbley owns a Wings & Things restaurant and two Twice as Nice bar-ber shops in the Wichita area.

CB KHALID WOOTEN ¾ Wooten credits his father for helping him be the man he is today. Mi-

chael Wooten, a correctional officer in Rialto, Calif., raised Khalid as a single father.

¾ Wooten is fairly new to the cornerback position. A quarterback and safety in high school, he made the transition to corner his first season at Nevada and has never looked back.

CB BLIDI WREH-WILSON ¾ Wreh-Wilson did not play football until his senior year of high school. His

focus was on soccer and basketball until he was convinced by friends and General McLane’s head football coach to give football a try.

¾ Wreh-Wilson’s parents are natives of Liberia. His father, D. Elliott Wreh-Wilson, came to the United States in 1980 to attend college. After he graduated from Boston College, he went back and got Blidi’s mother, Lucinda, and his brother, Elliott Jr., and brought them to the U.S. in 1984. Blidi was born five years later, followed by his sister, Tsuwli Lucinda.

¾ The name Blidi is literally translated as “trouble,” but he explains why his father, a philosophy professor at Edinboro University, named him that: “In Liberia there was a war, and that was the trouble. But when I came along, he named me that with the belief I could bring peace.”

¾ During his redshirt freshman season at Connecticut, Wreh-Wilson was forced to cope with a shocking tragedy: his teammate and close friend, cornerback Jasper “Jazz” Howard, was stabbed to death. Howard’s locker was next to Wreh-Wilson’s and remained untouched for the re-mainder of the 2009 season.

WR KENDALL WRIGHT ¾ During the 2013 offseason, Wright went back to Baylor to train for his

second NFL campaign. He worked out with Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams and lost close to 15 pounds.

¾ As a freshman at Baylor, Wright played on the basketball team. He ap-peared in 13 games as a reserve guard and scored 10 points.

¾ Wright was a three-sport star at Pittsburg (Texas) High School, where he earned All-State honors in football, basketball and track. He captured the state 3A titles in the long jump (24-0 3/4) and triple jump (48-5 1/4).

¾ In his spare time, Wright enjoys playing basketball, bass fishing, video games and watching comedy movies.
