Additionally, ESPN Radio will broadcast the game to a national radio audience. Sean Mc- Donough (play-by-play) and Mike Tomczak (analyst) will have the call. TITANS TURN FOCUS TO REGULAR SEASON The Titans turn their attention to the Steelers after closing out the preseason last week at Min- nesota. The Vikings got a late field goal to win the game by a final score of 24-23, ending what was a back-and-forth affair that featured eight lead changes. It left the Titans with a 1-3 preseason record. The Titans used the bulk of their starters, including quarterback Jake Locker, for only a series against the Vikings. Some, such as running back Chris Johnson, never took the field. Locker completed three of five passes against the Vikings to bring his preseason passing totals to 49 attempts, 33 completions, 338 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions and a passer rating of 93.7. The eighth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Locker is entering his second season as the team’s starter. In 2012, he started 11 games, missing five full games and parts of two other contests with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury. Including his rookie season, his career statistics include 211-of-380 passing for 2,718 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, plus two additional rushing touchdowns. The Titans this week begin their third campaign under head coach Mike Munchak, who is in his 32nd consecutive season as a player or coach with the franchise. His total of 15 wins from 2011-12 was the third highest number in team history in a head coach’s first two full seasons. Munchak and general manager Ruston Webster oversaw significant changes to the team during the 2013 offseason. Through free agency and the draft, the Titans added more than two dozen new faces. Among the veteran newcomers expected to make their regular-season debuts this week with the Titans are safety Bernard Pollard (Ravens), left guard Andy Levitre (Bills), center Rob Turner (Rams), tight end Delanie Walker (49ers), linebacker Moise Fokou (Colts), defensive end Ropati Pi- toitua (Chiefs) and defensive tackle Sammie Hill (Lions). The team’s first-round draft pick, right guard Chance Warmack, also is expected to start this week. Levitre, Turner and Warmack, alongside stalwart bookend tackles Michael Roos (left) and David Stewart (right), are commissioned with opening holes for Johnson, who begins his sixth NFL season on Sunday. Since Johnson entered the league in 2008, his 6,888 rushing yards rank second in the NFL, trailing only Adrian Peterson’s 7,508 rushing yards. THE STEELERS Led by Mike Tomlin, who enters his seventh season as head coach, the Steelers are coming off an 8-8 record and a third-place finish in the AFC North in 2012. Yet the Steelers finished last season with the NFL’s top-ranked defense (275.8 yards per game) and the league’s best passing defense (185.2). It was the fourth time under Tomlin that the Steelers led the league in total defense, and many of the mainstays in the lineup return in 2013, such as linebacker LaMarr Woodley and safety Troy Polamalu. The Steelers offense is led by two-time Pro Bowler Ben Roethlisberger. In nine previous sea- sons, the former first-round pick has quarterbacked the team to four division titles, three AFC Cham- pionships and two Super Bowl victories. During the 2012 campaign, he passed for 3,265 yards and 26 touchdowns with only eight interceptions, and along the way, he surpassed Terry Bradshaw as Pittsburgh’s all-time leading passing yards leader.

ALL-TIMESERIESRESULTS This week’s game is the 76th meeting between the Titans/Oilers and Steelers in a rivalry that dates back to 1970. The Steelers lead the series 44-31. There is no team the Titans have met in their history as often as the Steelers. The next closest is the Cincinnati Bengals with 74 games versus the Titans. In 1970, upon the merger of the American Football League and the National Football League, the Steelers and then-Oilers began play in the newly-formed AFC Central Division. For the next 32 years (1970-2001), they competed at least twice per season with the exception of 1982 (strike-shortened season) before the Titans moved to the AFC South and the Steelers to the AFC North in 2002. Since 1970, there have been only three seasons -- 2004, 2006 and 2007 -- in which the Titans and Steelers have not squared off. The first meeting in 1970, a 19-7 Oilers win, was the first regular season game in Three Rivers Stadium, the Steelers’ home until moving to Heinz Field in 2001. With the Titans’ Thursday primetime victory over the Steelers in 2012 (26-23 on Oct. 11), they broke a three-game winning streak by the Steelers that went back to the 2009 opener in Pittsburgh. The Titans have won 12 of the last 18 games, including a seven-game winning streak from 1997-2000 and a three-game winning streak from 2002-05. One of those Titans victories was a 34-31 final score in a 2002 Divisional Playoff contest. In addition to Tennessee’s 2002 playoff victory, there have been three other postseason games between the teams. They played back-to-back AFC Championship Games following the 1978 and 1979 seasons, with Pittsburgh’s “Steel Curtain” prevailing both times against the “Luv Ya Blue!” Oilers. The Oilers also lost a 1989 Wild Card Game in overtime against the Steelers. The last time the clubs played at Heinz Field was in Week 5 of the 2011 campaign. BenRo-ethlisberger completed five touchdown passes, and the Steelers rushed for 174 yards in a 38-17 victory.

In Week 6 of the 2012 season, RobBironas made a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give the Titans a 26-23 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at LP Field. The last-second field goal concluded a brief 33-yard drive that began after ShaunSuisham missed a 54-yard field goal that would have given the Steelers the lead with 49 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Quarterback MattHasselbeck and the Titans offense took over at their own 45-yard line, and on third-and-five from the 50, Hasselbeck found tight end JaredCook for a 25-yard gain to set up Bironas’ kick. The seesaw affair featured five lead changes and more than 750 yards of combined offense (Steelers 412, Titans 359). Hasselbeck, who started for an injured Jake Locker (shoulder), completed 25 of 44 passes for 290 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while Steelers quarterback BenRoethlisberger was 24-of-40 for 363 yards, one touchdown and an interception. To open the game, Hasselbeck directed a nine-play, 69-yard drive. He converted a third-and-three with a 15-yard pass to KennyBritt, and Bironas made a 22-yard field goal to put them ahead. The Steelers responded with consecutive scores. A 49-yard kickoff return by ChrisRainey putSuisham in position for a 29-yard field goal, and they needed only one play to score on their following series. Roethlisberger connected with MikeWallace for an 82-yard touchdown strike to give them a 10-3 lead. Shortly after a 38-yard field goal by Bironas, the special teams unit helped the Titans retake the lead. After the Tennessee defense forced a three-and-out, linebacker TimShaw blocked a DrewButler punt, and JasonMcCourty recovered at the one-yard line. Two plays later, running back JamieHarper scored on a one-yard run, making the score 13-10. With less than two minutes to go in the second quarter, the Steelers were driving when McCourty intercepted a deep pass intended for AntonioBrown. Hasselbeck completed passes of 19 yards to Cook, 12 yards to ChrisJohnson and 15 yards to KendallWright. As time expired in the first half, Bironas connected on a 47-yard field goal to extend the Tennessee lead to 16-10. The Steelers scored the game’s next 13 points, putting points on the board on three consecutive drives. Their opening drive of the half went 65 yards on 11 plays, ending with a 28-yard field goal by Suisham. The Titans appeared to record their second takeaway of the game later in the third quarter, but a MikeMartin sack and forced fumble against Roethlisberger was changed upon replay review to an incomplete pass. The Steelers converted four third downs on the 80-yard march, the last of which was a one-yard touchdown run by BaronBatch. Moments later, the Titans committed their first turnover of the game. On a pass by Hasselbeck intended for Wright, linebacker Lawrence Timmons recorded an interception. But the Titans defense limited the Steelers to a 52-yard field goal, setting the stage for a Titans comeback. The Titans took over at the 20-yard line with 8:18 on the clock. On third-and-eight from the 50, Wright took a pass from Hasselbeck 35 yards. Tennessee converted another third down on a Pittsburgh penalty, and finally, on third-and-goal, Hasselbeck connected with Britt on a five-yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 23-23 with 4:19 remaining. The Steelers’ fourth and final drive of the second half was cut short at the Tennessee 36-yard line, and Suisham’s 54-yard attempt fell short. Hasselbeck then directed the game-winning drive.

STEELERSHEADCOACHMIKETOMLIN MikeTomlin enters his seventh season as Steelers head coach. Hired on Jan. 22, 2007, he became the youngest head coach in NFL history to coach in and win a Super Bowl when he led the Steelers to a 27-23 vic-tory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. Tomlin is also the only coach in Pittsburgh history to win division titles each of his first two seasons. In 2011, he guided the Steelers to a 12-4 record, marking the second straight season the team posted 12 wins. Pittsburgh finished its strong cam-paign with the top-ranked total defense (271.8 ypg) and scoring defense (14.2 ppg) in the NFL. Under Tomlin’s guidance in 2010, the Steelers finished second in total defense, allowing only 276.8 yards per game. The team also established an NFL record by not allowing an opponent to rush for more than 75 yards in any of the first eight games of the regular season. In 2009, Pittsburgh broke new ground on offense by becoming the first in team history to boast a 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season. When Tomlin engineered a 10-6 record in 2007, he became just the second coach in team history to post a winning season, win a division title and earn a playoff berth in an inaugural season. He guided the Steelers to the NFL’s top-ranked defense that year, yielding only 266.4 yards per game. Tomlin spent the 2006 season as the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive co-ordinator after a five year stint (2001-2005) as defensive backs coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2002, he guided one of the most productive defensive backfields in the NFL, culminating in a victory in Super Bowl XXX-VII. Before joining Tampa Bay’s staff, Tomlin served two seasons as the defensive backs coach at the University of Cincinnati (1999-00). Under his leadership in 2000, the Bearcats ranked eighth in the nation in interceptions as well as fourth nationally in total turnovers. Previously, Tomlin had a short stay at Tennessee-Martin and then spent two seasons at Arkansas State where he coached wide receivers before switching to defensive backs in 1998. A William and Mary graduate, he began his coaching career in 1995 as wide receivers coach at Virginia Military Institute.

OPENINGDAYRESULTS

OPENINGRECORDSINNFL

Since 1978 when the NFL went to the 16-game schedule, and excluding the abbreviated season of 1982, teams that are victorious on Kick-off Weekend are more than twice as likely to reach the playoffs than losers of an opening game. Of the 506 teams which won openers, 266 (52.6%) went to the playoffs (159 won division titles). Of the 507 teams which lost openers,120 (23.7%) went to the playoffs (67 won division titles). The trend held true in 2012, when eight of the 12 playoff teams – Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Minnesota, New England, San Francisco and Washington – were victori-ous on Kickoff Weekend. Since 1978, the Titans have won their opener 17 times. In those seasons, they have made the playoffs nine times (52.9%) and missed the playoffs eight times (47.1%). The Ti-tans have lost their opener 17 times since 1978, and in those seasons, they have made the playoffs seven times (41.2%) and missed the playoffs 10 times (58.8%). In 2012, the Titans lost to the Patriots at LP Field in the opener by a final score of 34-13. They went on to miss the playoffs with a 6-10 record. Previously, the Titans and Steelers have opened against each other five times (1970, 1980, 1992, 2005, 2009), with the Steelers enjoying a four-game winning streak that includes the most recent Week 1 matchup in 2009. In that game, played at Heinz Field, the Steelers kicked a field goal on the opening possession of overtime to defeat the Titans 13-10.

A 25-yard field goal by BlairWalsh gave the Vikings a 24-23 win over the Titans in the final week of the preseason. Walsh’s kick provided the eighth lead change in a seesaw battle that featured a number of long, clock-eating possessions. The Titans had five drives of 10 or more plays, four of which went for at least 70 yards. The Vikings produced three-such drives of their own, in addition to the game’s biggest play, a 109-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by MarcusSherels to start the second half. Several regulars on both sides were given the evening off. The Titans’ scratches included receivers Kendall Wright, Nate Washington and KennyBritt; running backs ChrisJohnsonand ShonnGreene; defensive ends Derrick Morgan and Ropati Pitoitua; defensive tackles JurrellCasey and Sammie Hill; linebackers AkeemAyers and Zach Brown; cornerback JasonMcCourty; and safety BernardPollard. The Titans had only three possessions in the first half, but all three resulted in points. They opened the game with a methodical 18-play, 70-yard march that took nearly nine minutes off the clock. When the unit stalled at the 18-yard line, RobBironas booted a 28-yard field goal. It would be the only drive of the evening for starting quarterback JakeLocker, who finished with three completions and 31 yards on five attempts. The Vikings responded by going 80 yards on 11 plays, including a 28-yard pass from starting quarterback MattCassel (regular starter ChristianPonder did not play) to RodneySmith. Running back MattAsiata gave the Vikings a 7-3 lead on a one-yard touchdown run. RyanFitzpatrick took over at quarterback for the Titans at the start of the second quarter. In one drive, he completed all five pass attempts for 61 yards and a 17-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver JustinHunter. With third-string quarterback McLeodBethel-Thompson taking over the quarterbacking duties for the Vikings, they responded with their second consecutive 80-yard series. Bethel-Thompson completed a 16-yard pass to tight end ChaseFord on fourth-and-two, and five plays later, he completed

an 11-yard touchdown pass to halfback JoeBanyard. The Titans got the ball back with 2:29 remaining in the first half and RustySmith taking over at quarterback. Smith completed seven of nine passes on the drive for 71 yards, including a 19-yard strike to receiver DamianWilliams. With 26 seconds on the clock, he found tight end JackDoyle in the end zone for a two-yard touchdown, giving the Titans a 17-14 lead at the half. After Sherels’ touchdown return at the opening of the third quarter, the Titans and Vikings exchanged two turnovers apiece. A fumble by Doyle was quickly answered by an interception by Titans safety DaimionStafford. Smith was then intercepted by Sherels, and the Vikings looked poised to extend their lead. But at the Titans’ one-yard line, Ford fumbled, and Stafford scooped up the ball in the end zone and raced 39 yards on the return. The Titans used a pair of RobBironas field goals to jump back into the lead. He hit a 29-yarder, and then the Titans defense forced the Vikings to punt for the first time. After a 50-yard pass from Smith to RashadRoss, Bironas came back onto the field for a 24-yard attempt that split the uprights and put the Titans ahead 23-21 with 12:53 on the clock in the fourth quarter. Walsh missed a 42-yard attempt on the next series, but he made his next try from 25 yards with less than two minutes remaining, which would be the final score of the evening. The Titans’ final hopes were extinguished when Smith lost control of a snap from BrianSchwenke and the Vikings recovered the ball.

LOCKER’S PRESEASON NUMBERS: Third-year signal caller JakeLocker entered the 2013 preseason as the team’s starting quarterback for the first time in his career. The former first-round pick started all four preseason contests and completed 33 of 49 passes (67.3 percent) for 338 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions and a passer rating of 93.7. He also picked up 35 yards on seven rushing attempts.

PRESEASONTACKLELEADER: Credited with five tackles against the Vikings, cornerback AlterraunVerner led the Titans defense during the preseason with 13 total stops. He was followed by another cornerback, TommieCampbell, who had 12 tackles in four preseason appearances.

PRESTON TAKES SHARE OF TEAM’S PRESEASON RECEIVINGLEAD: First-year wide receiver MichaelPreston registered two catches for 28 yards against the Vikings. With the effort, the former undrafted free agent from Heidelberg pulled away with the team preseason lead with 172 receiving yards and tied NateWashington for the team lead with 10 preseason receptions.

WALKER MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE WITH TITANS: One of Tennessee’s biggest acquisitions of the offseason, tight end DelanieWalker, missed the first three preseason games with a knee injury. He made his debut at Minnesota, seeing action in the first quarter. Walker was signed in March as an unrestricted free agent from the San Francisco 49ers.

ROOKIE SAFETYWITH BACK-TO-BACK TAKEAWAYS: Titans rookie safety Daimion Stafford came up with back-to-back takeaways in the third quarter. He first intercepted a McLeodBethel-Thompson pass and returned the ball nine yards. Later in the quarter, the seventh-rounder from Nebraska recovered a fumble in the end zone and provided a 39-yard

return that helped to set up a field goal.

FITZPATRICK AND HUNTER CONNECT AGAIN: For the second consecutive week, backup quarterback RyanFitzpatrick and rookie wide receiver JustinHunter connected for a touchdown. In the second quarter against the Vikings, the duo combined for a 17-yard touchdown. In the previous game against the Falcons (Aug. 24), the tandem produced a three-yard score.

BATTLE DOMINATES 18-PLAY FIRST DRIVE: Rob Bironas’ 28-yard field goal in the first quarter was the 18th play of a game-opening drive that gave the Titans a 3-0 lead. The total time of the series was eight minutes and 59 seconds. On the drive, running back JackieBattle, starting in place of ChrisJohnson and ShonnGreene, had 10 carries for 38 yards and one reception for 11 yards.

McCARTHY GETS FIRST PRESEASON PLAYING TIME: Linebacker ColinMcCarthy was on the field for the first time during the preseason after missing the first three contests in August with a hamstring injury. He played on special teams from the start of the game and entered the game at linebacker on the defense’s second series. He was credited with a team-high six tackles in the game.

TITANS AWAY FROM HOME FOR TWO MORE WEEKS: Including last week’s preseason finale at Minnesota, the Titans will go three consecutive weeks without a home game. Their third preseason game on Aug. 24 was at LP Field, but they will not be back at their home venue until after playing regular season games at Pittsburgh (Sept. 8) and Houston (Sept. 15). Their regular-season home opener is Sept. 22 against the San Diego Chargers.

Entering his 54th year as Founder, Owner, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Titans/Oilers franchise, K.S. “Bud”Adams, Jr. is an enduring figure in the NFL. As one of the origi-nal team owners and co-founder of the American Football League, he has guided his franchise to new heights since relocating to Nashville in 1997, posting six playoff appearances, including an AFC Cham-pionship (1999), AFC Central title (2000), two AFC South titles (2002 & 2008), AFC Championship ap-pearance (2002) and Wild Card teams in 2003 and 2007. His success and longevity have led him to accumulate more wins than any other current NFL owner. He saw his 400th career win (regular season and playoffs) in the season finale in 2011 at Houston as the Titans defeated the Texans. Consistently fielding winning teams, the franchise has earned 21 playoff appearances in 53 previous seasons, a total that ranks eighth among NFL teams since 1960. During Adams’ ownership, 67 of his players have been Pro Bowl se-lections, including 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 BruceMatthews in 2007 and CurleyCulp in 2013, have been selected for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In each of the past seven years, Adams was nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a special contributor. Adams consistently has made signifi-cant moves that have improved his franchise or the league as a whole. He was the man Lamar Hunt approached first when form-ing the AFL. As the league started, Adams boldly signed players from the NFL (GeorgeBlanda) and poached others who chose the AFL over the NFL (BillyCannon). Through the years, he found ways to acquire Hall of Fame talent – trading for Culp, a centerpiece of the defense, in 1974; dealing picks to select EarlCampbell in 1978; winning a bidding war for CFL star WarrenMoon in 1984; and us-ing back-to-back first-round picks in 1982 and 1983 to draft MikeMunchak 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, McNair, 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. The Bartlesville, Okla., native has received numerous awards through the years. In 2012, he was the recipient of the inaugural “Salute to Service” award by the NFL for his work with the military through the years. He also re-ceived an honorary Doctorate from Menlo College, where he started his col-lege career. In 2011, he was honored with the Lifetime Humanitarian Award by the T.J. Martell Foundation. Since the Titans moved to Tennessee, local charities have seen approximately $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.

Ruston Webster and Chance Warmack

RustonWebster 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 GeorgeWilson (Buffalo) and Bernard Pollard (Baltimore); offensive linemen AndyLevitre (Buffalo), RobTurner (St. Louis) and Chris Spencer (Chicago); running back ShonnGreene (New York Jets); tight end Delanie Walker; defensive linemen SammieHill (Detroit) and RopatiPitoitua(Kansas City); linebacker MoiseFokou (Indianapolis); quarterback RyanFitzpatrick (Buffalo); and wide re-ceiver KevinWalter (Houston). In the 2013 NFL Draft, he made Alabama guard ChanceWarmack the first of eight total selections, which also fea-tured second-round wide receiver JustinHunter. In 2012 during his first offseason as general manager, Webster and the Titans acquired seven-time Pro Bowl guard SteveHutchinson and de-fensive end KamerionWimbley in free agency. He also engineered deals to retain key talent, signing tight end CraigStevens, safety MichaelGriffin and cornerback JasonMcCourty 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 KendallWright, 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 ZachBrown, 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).

On Feb. 7, 2011, the Tennessee Titans hired MikeMunchak 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 JimHarbaugh, 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 (EugeneAmano, LeroyHarris, SteveHutchinson and DavidStewart). Also in 2012, the Titans transitioned to second-year quarterback JakeLocker. 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, ChrisJohnson 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 BruceMatthews, 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, VinceYoung, KerryCollins and ChrisJohnson. 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 EarlCampbell and transitioned to a pass blocker in the run-n-shoot offense guided by quarterback WarrenMoon. 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.

MikeMunchakTidbits:

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 BruceMatthews 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 JoePaterno at Penn State to later become an NFL head coach.

During the 2013 offeason, MikeMunchak brought in five new assis-tant coaches: running backs coach Sylvester Croom, tight ends coach George Henshaw, wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson, senior as-sistant/defense GreggWilliams and assistant special teams coach SteveHoffman. Four other coaches will serve in a different capacity than they did in 2012: special teams coach Nate Kaczor, linebackers coach Chet Par-lavecchio, quarterbacks coach DaveRagone and offensive line/tight ends assistant ArthurSmith.

RunningBacksCoachSylvesterCroomCroom has 21 years of NFL coaching experience, including 2012 with the Jacksonville Jaguars as the running backs coach. Prior to his time in Jack-sonville, he spent three seasons (2009-11) with the St. Louis Rams and guided Steven Jackson to 3,802 rushing yards and two Pro Bowl selections during their three years together. Croom was the head coach at Mississippi State from 2004-2008 and the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions from 1997-2000. While guiding the Lions offense, Barry Sanders posted 2,053 rushing yards in 1997. He also had stints as the running back coach at Green Bay (2001-03), San Diego (1992-96), Indianapolis (1991) and Tampa Bay (1987-90). A native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Croom was an offen-sive lineman at the University of Alabama and played one season for the New Orleans Saints.

TightEndsCoachGeorgeHenshawHenshaw returns to Tennessee, where he spent nine seasons working with the tight ends from 1997-2005. During his tenure with the team, the tight ends caught 845 passes, the most in the NFL during that span. He also guided tight end Frank Wycheck to three Pro Bowl selections, and Wycheck led the team in receptions during five separate seasons. Henshaw has a long and successful resume with NFL stops at Denver (1988-92), the New York Giants (1993-96) and New Orleans Saints (2006-07). As an NFL coach he has been an offensive coordinator (Denver and New York Giants) and been a position coach for wide receivers (Denver), tight ends (Tennessee), running backs (New Orleans) and offensive line (Denver).

AssistantSpecialTeamsCoachSteveHoffmanHoffman has 23 years of NFL coaching experience, including stops at Oak-land (2012), Kansas City (2009-2011), Miami (2007-08), Atlanta (2006) and Dallas (1989-04). In 2012, with Hoffman serving as the special teams coach for the Oakland Raiders, kicker Sebastian Janikowski posted the best field goal percentage of his career (91.2%, 31/34) and was a perfect 25/25 for kicks inside of 50 yards. The three previous years (2009-11), Hoffman was the special teams coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. In his first year with the Chiefs, punter Dustin Colquitt posted the top single-season net punting av-erage (40.8) in franchise history and kicker Ryan Succop tied for the highest field goal percentage (86.2) by an NFL rookie since 1970. Hoffman entered the NFL as a Kicking Coach for the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, a position he would hold for 16 seasons while contributing to three Super Bowl titles. He also doubled as a quality control assistant for the offensive and defensive staffs during his tenure with the Cowboys. He also spent two seasons as an assistant special teams coach for the Miami Dolphins and a season in the same role for the Atlanta Falcons.

WideReceiversCoachShawnJeffersonJefferson spent eight seasons with the Detroit Lions, the last five as the wide receivers coach. In his five years with Calvin Johnson, no player in the NFL had more receiving yards (7,080) or receiving touchdowns (50) than Johnson. Last season, Johnson set the NFL mark for receiving yards in a season with 1,964 and earned his third Pro Bowl selection. A 13-year NFL veteran, Jefferson played for four teams (San Diego, New England, Atlanta, Detroit), totaled 7,023 receiving yards, and played in two Super Bowls. Jef-ferson was originally a ninth-round selection of the Houston Oilers in 1991.

SpecialTeamsCoachNateKaczorKaczor joined the Titans staff last year as the assistant offensive line coach, after spending four seasons (2008-11) with the Jacksonville Jaguars as the assistant special teams coach. While in Jacksonville, the Jaguars fielded some of the most consistent special teams units in the NFL. Montell Owens was selected as the AFC special teams player for the Pro Bowl in both 2010 & 2011 and the units ranked in the top 10 in a number of categories, includ-ing punt return average allowed (2008-11), kickoff return average allowed (2010, 2008) and net punt return average (2010). Punter Adam Podlesh posted a then team-record 39.2 net average in 2010.

¾ SAFETYBERNARDPOLLARD(6-1, 225, Baltimore Ravens) Safety Bernard Pollard, a veteran of seven previous NFL seasons, brings a physical, experienced presence to the de-fensive backfield. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder spent the last two years with the Baltimore Ravens follow-ing stints with the Kansas City Chiefs (2006-08) and Houston Texans (2009-10). Prior to his arrival in Tennessee, Pollard started 85 of his 105 career regular-season games and ac-cumulated 576 tackles, nine sacks, nine intercep-tions, 10 forced fumbles and seven fumble recover-ies. In 2012, Pollard was an important cog in Baltimore’s run to a Super Bowl XLVII title.

Even with the missed time, he led the Ravens with 98 total tackles and added a pair of sacks, an interception and six passes defensed. He returned to the starting lineup for each of the team’s four postseason contests. Pollard originally entered the NFL with Kansas City in 2006 as a sec-ond-round draft pick (54th overall). In three seasons there, he appeared in every game, including 31 starts. Signing with Houston in 2009, he played and started in 28 contests over two seasons, and in his first season with the Texans, he recorded a career-high four interceptions. In 2010, he led the defense and set a career high with 112 tackles. He then joined the Ravens, starting 13 games in 2011 en route to set-ting a career high with 13 passes defensed. A native of Ft.

¾ CENTER/GUARDROBTURNER(6-4, 308, St. Louis Rams) Rob Turner reached unrestricted free agency after spending the 2012 season as a starter for the St. Louis Rams. He is capable of playing all three interior positions on the offensive line. A four-year veteran, Turner played in 57 total games with the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams.

A regular contributor on spe-cial teams, Walker posted 61 special teams tackles as well as 31 kickoff returns for 528 yards during his time in San Francisco.

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. RustonWebster, in his second offseason as Titans general manager, led the team’s efforts to draft Alabama guard ChanceWarmack with the 10th overall pick in the first round. The selection of Warmack was followed by the drafting of for-mer Tennessee wide receiver JustinHunter (second round), Connecticut cornerback BlidiWreh-Wilson (third round), Missouri linebacker ZaviarGooden (third round), California center BrianSchwenke (fourth round), Louisiana State defensive end LavarEdwards (fifth round), Nevada cor-nerback KhalidWooten (sixth round) and Nebraska safety DaimionStaf-ford (seventh round).

2013TitansDraftPickCapsules(Height,Weight,College,DraftRound,OverallPick):

¾ GCHANCEWARMACK(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 WRJUSTINHUNTER(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 CBBLIDIWREH-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

2013TITANSDRAFTREVIEW

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 LBZAVIARGOODEN(6-1, 231, Missouri, 3rd round, 97th overall)College:Zaviar Gooden played in 49 games at Missouri, including 36 starts at weakside outside linebacker. He recorded 256 tackles with four sacks, 20.5 stops for losses, 11 passes defensed, five interceptions, two forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and a blocked kick. As a se-nior, Gooden was named a team captain and registered 61 tackles, two fumble recoveries and an interception for a touchdown. At the 2013 NFL Combine, he recorded a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, the fastest among all linebackers who attended. ¾ CBRIANSCHWENKE(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. He started games at three different positions during his career, totaling 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. ¾ DELAVAREDWARDS(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 CBKHALIDWOOTEN(5-11, 212, Nevada, 6th round, 202nd overall)College: In four seasons at Nevada, Khalid Wooten appeared in 51 games with 25 starts and collected 158 tackles, 10 interceptions, 29 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, a sack and four tackles for loss. As a senior, he started 12 games and registered 53 tackles, two intercep-tions, a sack, two tackles for loss, a team-high 15 passes defensed and a forced fumble. ¾ SDAIMIONSTAFFORD(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. The hard-hitting safety’s 176 tackles in his two seasons at Nebraska made up the fourth-best total in school history among two-year players. As a senior, Stafford was named first-team All-Big Ten after starting 14 games, leading the team with four interceptions and ranking second on the squad with 96 tackles.

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.

Titans head coach MikeMunchak took over the team’s offensive line in 1997 and held that post through the 2010 season. In 2011, he hired his former teammate, BruceMatthews, 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.

In 2012, Titans running back ChrisJohnson 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 EddieGeorge 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, ChrisBrown (2004), TravisHenry (2006), LenDaleWhite (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.

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 first year as a starter 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 setback, 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, Locker appeared in five total contests as a back-up to MattHasselbeck. He passed for 542 yards and four touchdowns without throwing an interception, and he added 56 yards and one rushing touchdown. 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 JackyLee 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).

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.

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 BarrySanders (1989-98), CoreyDillon (1997-02), CurtisMartin (1995-04), EddieGeorge (1996-00), EricDickerson (1983-89), LaDainianTomlinson (2001-08) and TonyDorsett (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 EarlCampbell (8,574) and EddieGeorge(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 has 8,546. Since Johnson’s arrival in the NFL in 2008, only AdrianPeter-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), JamalLewis (2,066), Sanders (2,053) and TerrellDavis (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 MarshallFaulk’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.

2013PreseasonHighlights:¾ AgainstWashington(8/8), played four plays and rushed two times for

60 yards and a touchdown. On the first play of the team’s second series, he took a handoff and raced 58 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7. ¾ AtCincinnati(8/17), played in the first and second quarters and totaled

seven carries for 30 yards and two receptions for 16 yards.¾ AgainstAtlanta(8/24), played into the third quarter and led the team

with 65 yards on 11 carries. He helped set up a Titans touchdown in the second quarter with a 19-yard run and added a 20-yarder in the third quar-ter.¾ AtMinnesota(8/29), did not play in the fourth preseason game.

In 2010, Britt’s team-high nine touchdown receptions tied for ninth in franchise history and amounted to the highest total since DrewBennett’s 11 in 2004. His 18.5-yard average ranked seventh in the NFL and was the third-best figure by a Titans/Oilers player in the last 20 seasons (Sanders, 23.5 in 1995; Justin Gage, 19.1 in 2008). In 2009, Britt had one of the best seasons in franchise history by a rookie wideout. He recorded a team-high 701 receiving yards on 42 catch-es, including three touchdown receptions. His yardage total ranked fifth in franchise rookie history and was the highest by a Titans rookie receiver since Sanders’ 823 yards in 1995.

Among the 2009 NFL rookie class, Britt was seventh in the NFL and third in the AFC in receptions, and he was fifth in the NFL and second in the AFC in receiving yards.

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 receptions 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.

THEOFFENSIVELINE 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 MichaelRoos, guard SteveHutchinson, center FernandoVelasco, left guard Le-royHarris and right tackle DavidStewart—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 DeuceLutui (eight starts at right guard), MikeOtto (one start at left tackle, two starts at right tackle), KevinMatthews (two starts at center), Mitch Petrus (one start at left guard), ByronStingily (two starts at right tackle) and KyleDeVan (one start at center). Despite the injuries, the offensive line collectively helped pave the way for ChrisJohnson’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 AndyLevitre, 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 RobTurner 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 ChanceWarmack, 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 BrianSchwenke, who likewise was a three-year collegiate starter. For the third consecutive season, the Titans offensive line is coached by BruceMatthews, who had a Hall of Fame playing career with the orga-nization prior to launching his coaching career.

KendallWright finished his rookie season with 64 receptions. In fran-chise history, only BillGroman (72 in 1960) has had more receptions as a rookie.

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.

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 AlDelGreco’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, DavidAkers(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.

Punter BrettKern 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). Kern’s 2011 statistics included a career-high 86 punts for a gross aver-age of 43.6 yards. His net average of 39.4 yards set a then-career high and franchise record, narrowly beating out CraigHentrich’s previous franchise record of 39.2 net yards per punt in 1998. Kern went on to break his own record in 2012. Kern was claimed by the Titans off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Oct. 27, 2009. He spent the entire 2008 season and the first six games of 2009 campaign in Denver, totaling 73 punts and a 46.5-yard average in 22 games with the Broncos.

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 DerrickMason’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 BobbyJancik’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.

In 2011, MarcMariani finished sixth in the AFC with a 10.7-yard punt return average.

Running back/returner DariusReynaud (pro-nounced RAY-naud) is in his second season with the Titans. He was signed as a free agent on Jan. 6, 2012, after being out of football during the 2011 sea-son. Reynaud’s first year in Tennessee and his fourth season in the NFL proved to be a success. Af-ter becoming the full-time returner due to MarcMari-ani’s season-ending leg injury, Reynaud averaged 13.2 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns on 31 punt returns. His average ranked third in the NFL, trailing only Buffalo’s LeodisMcKelvin (18.7) and Dallas’ DwayneHarris (16.1). It also ranked fourth in franchise history behind three different aver-ages by BillyJohnson (15.4 in 1977, 15.3 in 1975, 13.6 in 1974). Reynaud also returned 53 kickoffs for 1,240 yards (23.4 avg.) and one touchdown. His combined punt and kickoff return yardage total of 1,650 yards led the NFL and qualified as the third-highest total in team history. In the 2012 season finale against Jacksonville (Dec. 30), Reynaud turned in one of the franchise’s top single-game performances. He returned three punts for a franchise-record 160 yards, including touchdown returns of 69 and 81 yards. His two punt return touchdowns set the franchise re-cord and tied the NFL record. Only 13 NFL players had previously accom-plished the feat Previously, Reynaud spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, playing in a total of 23 career regular season games. He re-turned 53 punts for 440 yards (8.3-yard avg.) and returned 33 kickoffs for 677 yards (20.5-yard avg.). The Boutte, La., native was originally signed by the Vikings as an un-drafted free agent following the 2008 NFL Draft. During a three-year career at West Virginia, Reynaud left his mark on the Mountaineers record book. He tied the school record with 12 touch-down catches in 2007 and tied for fourth in a single season with 64 catches. Additionally, he became only the 10th West Virginia player with more than 3,000 all-purpose yards (1,550 receiving, 1,126 on returns and 410 rush-ing). He left the Mountaineers program ranked third with 19 career touch-down receptions and second with a 26.8 kickoff return average.

DTANTONIOJOHNSON 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.

RBCHRISJOHNSON 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.

FBQUINNJOHNSON ¾ Johnson has accomplished the rare feat of winning a title at every level

of football he has played. He calls winning football championships in Little League, high school, college and the pros his most memorable sports achievements.

¾ Johnson’s cousin, Terry Robiskie, played running back at LSU (1973-76), five seasons in the NFL, and is currently the wide receivers coach for the Atlanta Falcons.

PBRETTKERN 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. The course is located in Toledo, Ohio, and has hosted PGA and NCAA Championships. 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.

DLKARLKLUG 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’s small hometown of Caledonia calls itself the “Wild Turkey Capital of Minnesota” and “The Heart of Quilt Country.”

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

GANDYLEVITRE ¾ Levitre enjoys traveling around the world. In March 2012, he visited the

Great Wall of China and tobogganed down a stretch of the wall. He has also been to Phuket, Thailand where he had the opportunity to ride an elephant.

¾ Levitre enjoys fishing and once caught a 250-pound yellowfin tuna in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He also enjoys golfing and had the opportunity to play at Pebble Beach.

¾ Levitre has a Blue French Bulldog named Titan.

QBJAKELOCKER ¾ Locker built a chicken coop in his backyard. He has 15 chickens who

produce approximately 70 eggs per week that he shares with family and friends.

¾ Locker hosted a youth football camp in 2012 and 2013 at Battle Ground Academy in Nashville.

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

WRMARCMARIANI ¾ Mariani has overcome a great deal of adversity to make it to the NFL.

He 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.

DTMIKEMARTIN 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.

LBCOLINMCCARTHY 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.

CBJASONMCCOURTY 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.

FBCOLLINMOONEY 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.

DEDERRICKMORGAN 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.

OTMIKEOTTO 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.

DEROPATIPITOITUA ¾ Pitoitua was born in Samoa. He came to the United States in 1995.

SBERNARDPOLLARD 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.

WRMICHAELPRESTON 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.

RBDARIUSREYNAUD ¾ Reynaud has his own charitable foundation, Run the Right Way, which

benefits underprivileged youth in New Orleans, La.

OTMICHAELROOS 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

TITANSTIDBITS:THEBESTOFTITANSOFF-THE-FIELDHIGHLIGHTSbefore 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.

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.

CBRIANSCHWENKE 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.

CBCOTYSENSABAUGH 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.”

QBRUSTYSMITH 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/GCHRISSPENCER 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.

SDAIMIONSTAFFORD 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.

TECRAIGSTEVENS 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.

TDAVIDSTEWART 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.

TBYRONSTINGILY 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.

TETAYLORTHOMPSON 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.

CBALTERRAUNVERNER 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.

TEDELANIEWALKER 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 support his eight cousins left behind.

2013RegularSeasonWeek1 TennesseeTitansatPittsburghSteelers Page63of85

TITANSTIDBITS:THEBESTOFTITANSOFF-THE-FIELDHIGHLIGHTS 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.

WRKEVINWALTER 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.

GCHANCEWARMACK 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.

WRNATEWASHINGTON 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.

WRDAMIANWILLIAMS 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.

SGEORGEWILSON 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.

DEKAMERIONWIMBLEY 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.

CBKHALIDWOOTEN 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.

CBBLIDIWREH-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.

WRKENDALLWRIGHT 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.
