AFC SOUTH STANDINGS

NASHVILLE — This week the Tennessee Titans (3-4) return from their bye with a trip to St. Louis to face the Rams (3-4*). Kickoff at the Edward Jones Dome (capacity 66,000) is sched-uled for noon CST on Sunday, Nov. 3.

THE BROADCAST This week’s game will be televised regionally on CBS, in-cluding Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. Marv Albert will handle play-by-play duties while Rich Gannon provides analysis. The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will broadcast the game across the Mid-South with the “Voice of the Titans” Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wycheck, sideline reporter Cody Allison and gameday host Larry Stone. Additionally, WestwoodOne Sports will broadcast the game to a national radio audience. Dave Sims (play-by-play) and Mark Malone (analyst) will have the call.

BEFORE THE BYE Prior to the Titans’ off week, they hosted the San Fran-cisco 49ers at LP Field and fell by a final score of 31-17. The 49ers got off to a fast start and scored the game’s first 24 points before the Titans scored 17 in the final quarter. Colin Kaepernick completed 12 of his first 14 attempts and rushed for 68 yards and a score in the game. The 49ers con-verted eight of their initial 10 third-down attempts, helping to keep the Titans to a season-low time of possession (24:14). Meanwhile, Titans quarterback Jake Locker returned to action after missing the previous two contests with hip and knee injuries suffered on Sept. 29 against the New York Jets. Against the 49ers, the third-year quarterback, who was making his 16th career start, registered his third 300-yard passing ef-fort. He completed 25 of 41 passes for 326 yards, two touch-downs and an interception (92.1 passer rating). Locker’s 97.1 season passer rating ranks fourth in the AFC and ninth in the NFL.

THE RAMS Unlike the rested Titans, the Rams will have a short week of preparation for the game. They host the Seattle Se-ahawks on Monday night, Oct. 28. Through the season’s first seven weeks, the Rams built an identical 3-4 mark to the Titans. They are at the midway point in their second campaign under head coach Jeff Fisher, who took over in St. Louis in 2012 after leading the Titans for more than 16 seasons. However, they will be forced to navigate the remainder of 2013 without starting quarterback Sam Bradford, who on Oct. 23 was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Fisher joined the Oilers as defensive coordinator in 1994. He was promoted to head coach for the final six games of that season and stayed in the role through the 2010 campaign. During that time, he guided the Titans to six playoff appearances, three division titles, two AFC championship games, and one Super Bowl appearance. His record with the team, including playoffs, was 147-126.

* The Rams’ record does not include the result of their game against Seattle on Oct. 28.

K.S. “BUD” ADAMS, JR.

Titans Founder, Owner, Chair-man of the Board, President and CEO K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. passed away peacefully from natural causes at his home in Houston on the morn-ing of Oct. 21. In his 54 years leading the fran-chise, Adams was an enduring figure in the NFL. As a co-founder of the American Football League, he ac-cumulated more wins than any other current NFL owner (409) at the time of his passing. The franchise earned 21 playoff appearances in his 53 full seasons of ownership, a total that ranked eighth among NFL teams in that time period. Since Adams’ franchise relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997, the team won an AFC Championship (1999), an AFC Central title (2000), two AFC South titles (2002 & 2008), an AFC Championship appearance (2002) and two Wild Card berths (2003 and 2007). A native of Bartlesville, Okla., Ad-ams lettered in football at the Univer-sity of Kansas. During World War II, he served in the Navy as an aviation engineering officer. Adams and his wife, Nancy, were married for 62 years before her pass-ing in February 2009. They raised two daughters, Susie Smith and Amy Adams Hunt, and a son, Kenneth S. Adams III, who is deceased. Adams had seven grandchildren.

The Titans and Rams have played only 11 times since the American Football League and National Football League merged in 1970. Their initial encounter on Oct. 7, 1973, a 31-26 L.A. Rams victory, set the tone for the Rams to win seven of the 11 contests. In the regular season, the Titans and Rams have squared off only twice since meeting in Super Bowl XXXIV at the conclusion of the 1999 season. Most recently, the Titans achieved a 47-7 home win over the Rams on Dec. 13, 2009, the fifth-largest margin of victory in fran-chise history. The 2009 trip to Nashville for the Rams was their second ever in the regular season. The Rams visited LP Field during the 1999 regular season on Oct. 31, a game the Titans won 24-21. The outcome resulted in 6-1 records for both teams, and each squad would eventually finish the regular season 13-3. In the Super Bowl on Jan. 30, 2000, the Titans and Rams produced one of the most thrill-ing games in postseason history. Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson was tackled by Rams linebacker Mike Jones just short of the goal line on the game’s last play, preserving a 23-16 Rams victory. The play ended an inspired two-minute drive led by quarterback Steve McNair. After the Rams took a 16-0 lead in the third quarter, the Titans charged back on two touchdown runs by Eddie George and then a 43-yard field goal by Al Del Greco with 2:12 remaining. On the first play from scrimmage after the field goal, Rams receiver Isaac Bruce broke free and scored on a 73-yard touchdown pass from Kurt Warner. McNair then led a 12-play, 87-yard drive that culminated in the completion to Dyson, one yard short of the end zone. The last time the Titans played the Rams at the Edward Jones Dome was Sept. 25, 2005. In an up-and-down affair, Tennessee initially took a 10-0 lead before the Rams scored 24 consecutive points. Aided by four takeaways by the defense, the Titans battled back to tie the game, but the Rams passing attack, which produced 259 yards and three touchdowns, struck for the final and deciding time in the fourth quarter with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to Kevin Curtis. A late rally led by Steve McNair was denied by the Rams, and the Titans fell to 1-2 on the season.

In Week 14 of the 2009 season, the Titans jumped out to an early lead against the St. Louis Rams and never looked back, eventually leaving LP Field with a 47-7 victory. The 40-point margin was the fifth-largest in team history. Key factors in the victory were three total touchdowns by running back Chris Johnson, four field goals by Rob Bironas and five interceptions by the Titans defense off Rams rookie quarterback Keith Null, who was making his first NFL appearance. Quarterback Kerry Collins entered the game for the Titans midway through the second quarter after starter Vince Young left the contest with a hamstring injury. Both quarterbacks were effective. Young completed six of eight passes for 132 yards and one touchdown, while Collins was 11-of-19 for 154 yards and one touchdown. Johnson provided a pair of big plays to open the scoring in the first quarter. With three minutes remaining in the first quarter, he gave the Titans a 7-0 lead with a 39-yard touchdown run. On the second play of Tennessee’s next series, Johnson took a pass from Young and went 66 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, Bironas made a 27-yard field goal to cap an eventful drive. The score was preceded by a career-long 44-yard run by Young. However, Young strained his right hamstring on the play and was forced to leave the game. Later in the second quarter, linebacker Keith Bulluck intercepted a pass by Null. Ten plays later, Bironas booted a 34-yard field goal to make the score 20-0. On the Rams’ next series, Cortland Finnegan recorded an interception to give the Titans possession at the St. Louis 41-yard line with 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter. After a 17-yard carry by Johnson on fourth-and-four, Bironas kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired in the half.

After a 50-yard field goal by Bironas in the third quarter, Bulluck notched his second interception and provided an 18-yard return to the St. Louis 23-yard line. That led to Johnson’s third touchdown of the game on a three-yard run. On the final play of the third quarter, the Rams made their longest play of the day when Kenneth Darby took a fake punt at the St. Louis 36-yard line and raced 51 yards. An 11-yard touchdown pass from Null to tight end Randy McMichael ended the Titans’ hopes for a shutout, making the score 33-7. The Titans responded with a 10-play, 61-yard drive. Collins converted a third-and-four with a 32-yard pass to Nate Washington, and on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line, Collins completed a touchdown pass to tight end Alge Crumpler. With the Titans up 40-7, defensive back Vincent Fuller intercepted a pass by Null and raced 45 yards for a touchdown. Cortland Finnegan tallied his second interception of the game in the end zone with less than a minute on the clock.

Chris Johnson scored three touchdowns against the Rams in 2009.

RAMS HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER Jeff Fisher was named the 26th head coach in Rams history on Jan. 17, 2012. He is 18th on the NFL’s career wins list and fourth among active coaches. In 2012, Fisher took over a club that experienced a 2-14 record the previous season and guided the league’s youngest team to a 7-8-1 record, which gave the Rams their best winning percentage since 2006. The de-fense tied for the NFL lead in sacks with 52, and offensively, the Rams went from 31st in total yards in 2011 to 23rd in 2012 while allowing 20 fewer sacks compared to the previous season. Fisher joined the Rams after spending 16 full seasons as head coach of the Tennessee Titans and 11 as executive vice president. During his ten-ure, he guided the Titans to six playoff appearances, three division titles, two AFC Championship games and one Super Bowl. From 1999-2010, only three teams had more playoff berths than the Titans. During that time, Fisher totaled 97 victories, culminating in the most successful decade in franchise history. In 2009, the Titans began 0-6, but Fisher steadied the team to win eight of the final 10 games to finish the season 8-8. It marked the first time in NFL history that a team won more than six games in a season after starting 0-6. The 2008 season was one of the most successful in Titans history. The team captured the AFC South title, matching a franchise-best 13 wins. During the 2006 season, Fisher became the first coach in franchise history to lead the team in 200 contests, reaching the milestone on Nov. 12. It marked the 12th time an NFL coach accomplished the feat. In 2004, Fisher became the fourth youngest coach to win 90 regular season games since 1960. In 2003, the Titans reached the Divisional Round of the playoffs for the fourth time in five years after earning a Wild Card berth with their 12-4 regular season record. Fisher originally joined the Oilers/Titans coaching staff in 1994 as defensive coordinator after spending two seasons as the defensive backs coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He served in 1991 as defensive coordi-nator with the Rams under his college coach, John Robinson. Fisher began his coaching career as an assistant with the Eagles in 1986, guiding the defensive backs for three seasons before becoming the NFL’s youngest defensive coordinator in 1988. A former defensive back at USC, Fisher played five seasons in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl with the Bears in 1985.

The San Francisco 49ers used an efficient performance from quarterback Colin Kaepernick and a pair of rushing touchdowns by Frank Gore to defeat the Titans at LP Field by a final score of 31-17. Kaepernick attempted only 21 passes, but he completed 12 of his first 14 attempts. He finished the game with 13 completions for 199 yards and no interceptions, and he also hurt the Titans several times with his legs, rushing for 68 yards and a score. The 49ers scored the game’s first 24 points, and during that time, they converted eight of 10 third-down attempts (finished eight-of-16) while the Titans were one-of-five (five-of-14 total during the game). For the game, San Francisco had a 35:46 time of possession compared to Tennessee’s 24:14. While the Titans outgained the 49ers 368 yards to 349, they were kept off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter. The 49ers used a long first drive to take an early 3-0 lead. On the 12th play of a 65-yard series that was highlighted by tight end Vernon Davis’ 24-yard reception on third-and-two, Phil Dawson booted a 44-yard field goal. The 49ers increased their lead in the second quarter after a costly penalty on the Titans wiped out a turnover. Four plays after Kaepernick completed a 25-yard pass to a diving Anquan Boldin on third-and-five, the quarterback again went deep, only this time the pass was picked off by safety Bernard Pollard. However, an unnecessary roughness penalty was called against linebacker Akeem Ayers for a low hit on Kaepernick. Then, on third-and-seven from the 20-yard line, Kaepernick rushed into the end zone to help give the 49ers a 10-0 lead. A Titans turnover on the ensuing possession led to the next 49ers score. Quarterback Jake Locker attempted a pass deep down the sideline to Nate Washington, but cornerback Tramaine Brock came down with the ball for an interception. Kaepernick then converted another third down with his legs, this time a 20-yard run on third-and-11. A 20-yard pass to tight end Vance McDonald to the one-yard line (challenged by the Titans but upheld) was followed by a one-yard touchdown run by Gore. The 49ers picked up in the second half where they left off before intermission. They took the opening kickoff of the third quarter and marched 79 yards on 12 plays, taking more than seven minutes off the clock. Kaepernick completed a 19-yard pass to Davis on third-and-four,

Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 98 yards against the 49ers.

and the duo connected again on third-and-three for a 12-yard reception. Finally, on third-and-goal, Gore again found the end zone on a one-yard run. The Titans finally moved into scoring position early in the fourth quarter. Locker and Washington connected for a 42-yard pass, and then Locker got the Titans to the five-yard line on a 16-yard run. But linebacker Ahmad Brooks sacked Locker for a nine-yard loss, and the Titans were forced to settle for a 31-yard field goal by Rob Bironas. The Titans defense then forced the third of five consecutive San Francisco punts, and it took the offense only two plays to put up its first touchdown. Kendall Wright caught a 20-yard pass, which was followed by a screen pass to Chris Johnson that the running back turned into a 66-yard touchdown. With the Titans trailing 24-10, the 49ers were forced to punt again with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation. However, the Titans’ brief momentum vanished when Andy Lee’s punt was muffed by Darius Reynaud at the 11-yard line and the ball caromed backwards off Reynaud into the end zone, where it was recovered by San Francisco’s Kassim Osgood for a touchdown. Locker and the Titans mounted a final 10-play, 58-yard drive that ended on a 26-yard touchdown reception by tight end Delanie Walker with 3:17 on the clock. But they would not possess the ball again, watching as the 49ers ran off the remaining time.

CASEY REACHES CAREER HIGH IN SACKS: Jurrell Casey picked up his fourth sack of the season, taking down Colin Kaepernick for a two-yard loss in the fourth quarter. His four sacks put him in a tie with Ropati Pitoitua for the team lead and amount to a new career high for the defensive tackle, who now has 9.5 career sacks. The third-year veteran’s previous high was three sacks in 2012.

LONG RECEPTION BY WASHINGTON: Late in the third quarter, Jake Locker and Nate Washington connected on a 42-yard reception. It was the second-longest reception of the season for Washington, who finished with 62 yards on three catches and extended his streak to 85 consecutive games with at least one reception.

WRIGHT GETS TO 100 RECEPTIONS: Wide receiver Kendall Wright recorded his fifth reception of the game in the third quarter to bring his career total to 100 receptions. In reaching the mark in his 22nd career game, Wright tied Bill Groman (1960–1961) and Webster Slaughter (1992–1993) for the second-fewest games in franchise history to 100 receptions. Charlie Hennigan set the record by taking only 21 games to get to the 100-catch plateau from 1960–1961.

ANTONIO JOHNSON NOTCHES THIRD SACK: In the second quarter, defensive tackle Antonio Johnson recorded a one-yard sack to give him three sacks in 2013. Previously, the highest sack total Johnson ever had in his seven-year career was one in 2009.

GREENE BACK IN ACTION: Running back Shonn Greene was back in action for the first time since the season opener at Pittsburgh on Sept. 8. He missed the next five games with a knee injury.

BIRONAS TIES BULLUCK AND BETHEA: Titans kicker Rob Bironas played in his 135th consecutive game to join elite company on the franchise’s all-time consecutive games played list. His 135 consecutive games equaled former Oilers defensive end Elvin Bethea (1968–1977) and former Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck (2000–2009) for fourth place on the list. He trails only offensive lineman Bruce Matthews (232 from 1987–2001), linebacker Robert Brazile (147 from 1975–1984) and punter Craig Hentrich (146 from 1998–2007).

McCARTHY IN STARTING LINEUP: Moise Fokou started Tennessee’s first six games at middle linebacker, but he missed the game against the 49ers with a knee injury. That opened the door for Colin McCarthy to notch his first start since Nov. 25, 2012. McCarthy missed the last five games of the 2012 campaign with injuries and played mostly on special teams this season until Fokou’s injury.

PAIR OF ROOKIES NOTCH THEIR FIRST CAREER STARTS: Center Brian Schwenke was active and started for the first time in his NFL career against the 49ers. The fourth-round pick from the University of California was inactive for the first six games of 2013 while Rob Turner started at center. Meanwhile, with starting defensive end Derrick Morgan out with a shoulder injury, rookie Lavar Edwards, a fifth-round pick from Louisiana State, recorded his first career start.

MORGAN INACTIVE: Defensive end Derrick Morgan was inactive with a shoulder injury, ending his streak of 37 consecutive games played. He had not missed a contest since the 2011 opener (Sept. 11) at Jacksonville. The six other inactive players besides Morgan were quarterback Rusty Smith, linebacker Moise Fokou, linebacker Zaviar Gooden, linebacker Patrick Bailey, center/guard Rob Turner and tackle Byron Stingily.

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

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

ADAMS ONE OF NFL’S ENDURING FIGURES

Bud Adams and Warren Moon


Board of Directors of the Cherokee Indian National Historical Society; the Board of Trustees of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio; the Board of Directors of the Boy Scouts of America - Sam Houston Area Coun-cil; and a Lifetime Director of The Hundred Club in Houston. He was a Governor Emeritus of the Sigma Chi Fraternity Foundation; an Emeritus Trustee of the Culver Educational Foundation; and a Lifetime Director of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. In Tennessee, he was on the Board of Directors of the Middle Tennessee Council of the Boy Scouts of America; was a member of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce; and was on the Board of Trust of the 100 Club of Nashville. He 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 received an honorary Doctorate from Menlo College, where he started his college career. In 2011, he was honored with the Lifetime Humanitarian Award by the T.J. Martell Founda-tion. Since the Titans moved to Tennessee, local charities have seen ap-proximately $20 million flow into their organizations as a direct result of the Titans and the NFL, with the great majority of the money and gifts coming from Adams and the Tennessee Titans Foundation. Adams and his wife, Nancy, were married for 62 years before her pass-ing in February of 2009. They raised two daughters, Susie Smith and Amy Adams Hunt, and a son, Kenneth S. Adams III, who is deceased. Adams had seven grandchildren.

Titans head coach Mike Munchak: “I was saddened today to hear about the passing of our owner, Mr. Bud Adams. I’ve been with this organization over 30 years, and I’ve been blessed to be a football player here during that time, a position coach, and now the head coach. I will forever be grateful for all Mr. Adams has done for me and my family ... I first met Mr. Adams I was drafted in 1982. I made my first visit to Texas, never been to Houston, and it was day two of the draft ... I wasn’t sure what to expect. His office was enormous—I never saw a desk that big in my life. He was the first Texan I met, and he was very happy, very loud, called me over, and I sat down. Just to see his excitement for the draft, being part of it, he immediately went back briefly after I talked about Penn State, where I was from (in) Pennsylvania. He went right to 1960 and when he put this whole thing together. Just see-ing his excitement, his passion for what he did, the stories about how back then he was the owner, he was the general manager. He did everything but coach the guys, and it was very interesting to hear his stories about Billy Cannon and how he signed guys, cut deals, how he kept the league together, and in the meantime won some championships. I probably spent a good hour with him that day, that first meeting. It was all about the orga-nization’s history and what was going on down there. I felt like I was with a guy who really loved what he did, loved the excitement of the NFL. (I felt) like this guy was a pioneer for bringing the league together into what it is

STATEMENTS ON K.S. “BUD” ADAMS, JR.

today. It was exciting for me because I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know a whole lot about the Oilers. I felt in that short hour I was going to be part of something special. I didn’t know it would be 30-something years that day, but we got along well ... If you’ve been around Mr. Adams, and I know a lot of you have been, he loves to tell stories about the passions he has in life. Obviously, this team was one of them. I’m glad I had that time with him. When I became the head coach ... people would always say, ‘Well, have you talked to Mr. Adams? He’s in Houston.’ I would say, ‘You know when I talk to him? I talk to him on Saturdays before games. He flies in on Saturday afternoons, and usually there’s no one here in the building, and he comes in with four or five of his friends—gentlemen from other businesses he has because obviously he has a lot more going on than the football team. I’d meet him here, I’d wait around so I could spend some time with him, and I’d walk through the building with him, with his friends, and we’d talk, we’d walk around and look at all the pictures (and talk) about all the stories. He would talk about the guys back in the 60s and 70s, and I would talk about the guys from the Earl Campbell years on, the guys I had more history with and the Titans. That was something I’d look forward to, but we’d never get real far because he told a long story. He made sure he got every detail in, and I just really enjoyed those Saturdays (during my) first year as a head coach. Finally, by the end of the year, we made it to the end of the hallway. This meant a lot to him here ... I’m glad I was along for the ride for 30-something years, and it’s just a really sad day.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mike Munchak Tidbits:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mike Munchak’s record in his first two seasons as head coach of the Titans was 15-17. His .469 winning percentage is tied with the winning per-centages of Jeff Fisher and Jerry Glanville for fourth in franchise history in a coach’s first two full seasons as head coach.

FIRST TWO SEASONS AS HEAD COACH

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

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

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

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

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

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

¾ LINEBACKER MOISE FOKOU (6-1, 236, Indianapolis Colts) Moise Fokou (Moses FOE-koo) was added to the defense to bring ex-perience at all three linebacker positions. He arrived with 59 games of NFL experience, including 23 starts, during his previous four years. Fokou spent 2012 in Indianapolis, where he played in all 16 games and registered 46 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and five special teams stops.

2013 FREE AGENCY REVIEW

He played his first three seasons for the Phila-delphia Eagles and totaled 43 games played with 22 starts. While in Philadelphia, he led the team in spe-cial teams tackles twice (20 in 2009 and 19 in 2010) and totaled 49 special teams stops in three seasons. He was traded to Indianapolis during 2012 training camp. Fokou entered the NFL as a seventh round se-lection in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Eagles. He was an All-ACC linebacker at Maryland as a senior. Born in Cameroon, Fokou moved to Potomac, Md., when he was five.

¾ RUNNING BACK SHONN GREENE (5-11, 226, New York Jets) Shonn Greene spent his first four NFL seasons with the New York Jets. The former third-round pick played in 61 career regular-season games with 31 starts for the Jets. His career totals include 3,423 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on 822 carries (4.2 avg.) and 65 receptions for 482 yards. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in each of his last two seasons. Greene split carries in the Jets backfield for the majority of his time in New York. As a rookie in 2009, he gained 540 yards as a backup to starter Thomas Jones (1,402), and in 2010, he rushed for 766 yards playing in the same backfield as LaDainian Tomlinson (914). The same duo was featured in 2011, but for the first time Greene took the majority of carries and rushed for 1,054 yards (280 by Tom-linson). Last year Greene appeared in every game and recorded 14 starts. He set career highs with 276 carries, 1,063 rushing yards and eight rushing


touchdowns. Greene played three seasons at the University of Iowa, where he rushed for 2,228 yards, including a school-record 1,850 rushing yards in 2008. He won the 2008 Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation’s top running back. The Jets selected him with the 65th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

¾ DEFENSIVE TACKLE SAMMIE HILL (6-4, 329, Detroit Lions) Sammie Hill joined the Titans after spending the first four years of his career with the Detroit Lions.

As a rookie in 2009, Hill appeared in 13 games with 12 starts and collected 26 tackles and two fumble recoveries. He fol-lowed up that campaign by appearing in 15 games in 2010 and posting career-highs with 30 tackles and 2.5 sacks. A native of West Blockton, Ala., Hill was originally a fourth-round selec-tion (115th overall) by the Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Last year, he started 13 games for the Colts and registered 30 tackles. His most productive season statistically was in 2009, when he started 15 games and totaled 37 tackles and a sack. The Titans originally selected Johnson out of Mississippi State in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

He spent most of the 2008 season on the Titans practice squad before the Colts signed him to their active roster to finish the year.

¾ GUARD ANDY LEVITRE (6-2, 305, Buffalo Bills) A four-year veteran, Andy Levitre started all 64 games from the time he entered the NFL in 2009 through the 2012 campaign. He was a second-round selection (51st overall) of the Buffalo Bills. He was one of only three offensive linemen from the 2009 draft to start every game for his first four seasons. Levitre has been extremely versatile during his NFL career, registering 59 starts at left guard, four at left tackle and one at center during his time in Buf-falo. In 2011, Levitre (pronounced luh-VEE-tree) was part of an offensive line that led the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 23. Over a three-year period from 2010-12, the Bills ranked fifth in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 87. Additionally, over that same three-year time period, the Bills ranked fourth in average per rush (4.7) and 11th in rushing yards (5,858). Levitre played college football at Oregon State, where he registered 35 starts at offensive tackle (17 at left, 18 at right). The California native was a four-time Academic All-Pac 10 honoree.

¾ DEFENSIVE END ROPATI PITOITUA (6-8, 315, Kansas City Chiefs) Ropati Pitoitua (pronounced row-POT-ee puh-TOE-uh-TWO-ah) was signed to improve the size and a physicality on the defensive line.

¾ SAFETY BERNARD POLLARD (6-1, 225, Baltimore Ravens) Safety Bernard Pollard, a veteran of seven pre-vious NFL seasons, brings a physical, experienced presence to the defensive backfield. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder spent the last two years with the Bal-timore Ravens following 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. He started the first 13 games of the season at strong safe-ty before missing the final three weeks with a chest injury. 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. Wayne, Ind., Pollard spent three seasons at Purdue Uni-versity, where he played in 36 games (35 starts) and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore.

¾ CENTER/GUARD CHRIS SPENCER (6-3, 309, Chicago Bears) Offensive lineman Chris Spencer came to the Titans after accruing eight previous NFL seasons.

¾ CENTER/GUARD ROB TURNER (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 saw action in all 16 regular-season games (four starts) and set a career high with 344 yards and three touchdowns (matched career high) on 21 receptions. His average of 16.4 yards per catch was the highest among all NFL tight ends with 20 or more catches. During the 2012 playoffs, he appeared in all three games and started in Super Bowl XLVII.

RECENT FREE AGENT HISTORY


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

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

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

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

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

2013 TITANS DRAFT REVIEW

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

¾ LB ZAVIAR GOODEN (6-1, 231, Missouri, 3rd round, 97th overall)College: Zaviar Gooden played in 49 games at Missouri, including 36 starts at weakside outside linebacker. 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 C BRIAN SCHWENKE (6-3, 318, California, 4th round, 107th overall)College: In four seasons with the California Golden Bears, Brian Schwenke played in 48 of 50 possible games, including starts in 36 of the last 37 contests. 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.

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.

2013 NFL STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE


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

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

TITANS IN CLOSE GAMES

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

Most rushing yards per game, 1997-present:

Rushing YardsTeam Per Game1. Denver Broncos 133.92. Minnesota Vikings 129.23. Pittsburgh Steelers 126.74. Kansas City Chiefs 126.05. San Francisco 49ers 123.46. Jacksonville Jaguars 123.27. Atlanta Falcons 120.98. Tennessee Titans 120.69. Baltimore Ravens 119.310. Philadelphia Eagles 119.0

RUSHING YARDS PER GAME SINCE 1997

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

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

1,000-Yard Team Seasons 1. Tennessee Titans 152. New York Jets 14 Cincinnati Bengals 134. Minnesota Vikings 12 New York Giants 12 San Francisco 49ers 12

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) shoul-der 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 Matt Hasselbeck. 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 Jacky Lee on Nov. 25, 1960). Prior to his NFL career, Locker played four seasons at the University of Washington. A starter in 40 games, he helped turn a once-struggling program into a unit that won a bowl game in his final collegiate appearance. By the end of his career with the Huskies, Locker was at or near the top of most of the team’s passing charts. He ranked second all-time with 7,639 career passing yards and also ranked second in career attempts (1,148), completions (619) and touchdown passes (53). Additionally, he set the school’s records for rushing yards by a quarter-back in a season (986 in 2007) and career (1,939). His 29 career rushing touchdowns ranked third all-time, regardless of position. In total offense, Locker ranked second in Huskies history in career yards (9,578), attempts (1,601) and yards per game (239.5). He was re-sponsible for 496 career points (includes rushing and passing touchdowns), second-most in UW history behind Cody Pickett. As a senior in 2010, he completed 184 of 332 passes for 2,265 yards with 17 touchdowns. More importantly, he fulfilled his commitment to return the team to a bowl game after his team suffered through an 0-12 campaign in 2008. The Huskies played Nebraska in the 2010 Holiday Bowl and won 19-7. A native of Ferndale, Wash., Locker was also a highly-touted baseball

prospect. He was drafted twice by the Los Angeles Angels—in the 40th round in 2006 coming out of Ferndale High School and again in the 10th round of the 2009 draft.

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

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

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

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

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

¾ Against Kansas City (10/6) and at Seattle (10/13), he was inactive with right hip and knee injuries.

Running back Chris Johnson is in his sixth NFL season. He is the second-leading rusher in the NFL since he entered the league in 2008 and the third-leading rusher in franchise history. In 2012, Johnson played in all 16 games (15 starts) and finished the season with 276 carries for 1,243 yards (4.5 avg.) and six touchdowns. Ad-ditionally, he caught 36 passes for 232 yards (6.4 avg.). Johnson became the eighth player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first five seasons. He joined Barry Sanders (1989-98), Corey Dillon (1997-02), Curtis Martin (1995-04), Eddie George (1996-00), Eric Dickerson (1983-89), LaDainian Tomlinson (2001-08) and Tony Dorsett (1977-81) as the only players to accomplish the rare feat. The former first-round draft choice continues to build his resume as one of the top running backs in franchise history—and arguably one of the best in NFL history. Only Earl Campbell (8,574) and Eddie George (10,009) have totaled more rushing yards than Johnson in Titans or Oilers uniform. Johnson’s 6,888 career rushing yards rank sixth in NFL history through a player’s first five NFL seasons, and only four players in NFL history have had more scrimmage yards in their first five campaigns than Johnson, who has 8,546. Since Johnson’s arrival in the NFL in 2008, only Adrian Peter-son (7,508) has more rushing yards than him. Remarkably durable during his career, Johnson never missed a game due to injury during his first five NFL seasons. He played in every game with one exception: the 2008 season finale, which he missed as a healthy scratch in advance of the playoffs. In 2010, Johnson earned his third consecutive Pro Bowl berth. With 316 rushing attempts for 1,364 yards, he placed fourth on the NFL’s rushing leaderboard and third in the AFC. His 11 rushing touchdowns tied for sixth in the NFL and fourth in the AFC. He also led the Titans in receptions for the second consecutive season, collecting 44 passes for 245 yards and one score. In 2009, Johnson produced one of the greatest statistical seasons by a rusher in NFL history. Most notably, he became the sixth NFL player ever to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a season, totaling 2,006 yards and 14 touch-downs on 358 carries. At the time, only Dickerson (2,105), Jamal Lewis (2,066), Sanders (2,053) and Terrell Davis (2,008) had posted better rush-ing yardage totals in a season than Johnson. In 2012, Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards. O.J. Simpson (2,003) is the only other member of the 2,000-yard club. Within the group, Johnson is distinguished as the only player in NFL history to gain 2,000 rushing yards in a season and an additional 500 yards as a receiver. With 503 receiving yards, he set a new league record with 2,509 total scrimmage yards, surpassing Marshall Faulk’s 1999 re-cord output of 2,429 scrimmage yards. Johnson came away with numerous awards and accolades in 2009, including Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year, being named a starter in the Pro Bowl, a unanimous AP All-Pro selection and the FedEx Ground Player of the Year. As a rookie in 2008, Johnson produced one of the most extraordinary campaigns by a rookie running back in Titans history. Only two players in team annals – Campbell (1,450) and George (1,368) –rushed for more yards in their rookie seasons than Johnson, the 24th overall selection in the

¾ Against San Francisco (10/20), rushed for 39 yards on nine carries and caught four passes for 71 yards and a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he turned a screen pass into a 66-yard touchdown reception, his 15th career play of 50 yards or longer and his third touchdown reception of 50 yards or longer. The play tied for his ninth-longest career touchdown and gave him 50 total touchdowns for his career. He became the fourth player in fran-chise history to reach the 50-touchdown plateau, joining Eddie George (74), Earl Campbell (73) and Charlie Hennigan (51). With a seven-yard carry in the second quarter, he became the third player in franchise history to reach 9,000 career scrimmage yards, joining Eddie George and Earl Campbell.

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

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

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

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

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

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Houston (9/15), posted four receptions for 28 yards. ¾ Against the New York Jets (9/22), he was inactive with neck and rib

injuries. ¾ Against Kansas City (10/6), posted one reception for nine yards. ¾ At Seattle (10/13), caught one pass for seven yards. ¾ Against San Francisco (10/20), caught one pass for eight yards.

#13 • WR KENDALL WRIGHTCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Wide receiver Kendall Wright is in his second season since being selected with the 20th overall pick in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. In his first NFL season, he saw action in 15 games (five starts) and made a significant impact. His 64 receptions led the Titans and tied Jackson-ville receiver Justin Blackmon’s total for the high among NFL rookies. Wright’s 626 receiving yards ranked second on the team and fifth among all rookies, and his four receiv-ing touchdowns tied for first on the team. He posted at least one reception in every game he played and recorded two or more receptions 13 times. Wright became the first Titans/Oilers rookie to lead the team in recep-tions since Bill Groman during the franchise’s inaugural season of 1960. Only Groman, who posted 72 receptions in his first pro season, has re-corded more receptions as a rookie in club annals. Wright concluded his career at Baylor University as the most deco-rated and accomplished receiver in school history. He owns virtually ev-ery significant receiving record for the program, totaling 302 receptions for 4,004 yards and 30 touchdowns. He never missed a game in his four years with the Bears and recorded at least one reception in every contest. As a senior in 2011, Wright set Baylor single-season records in recep-tions (108), receiving yards (1,663), receiving touchdowns (14), 100-yard games (nine), all-purpose yards (1,772) and consecutive games with a re-ception (tied own record with 13). He landed on numerous All-American lists and was a Biletnikoff Award semi-finalist. Additionally, he was the pri-mary target for Robert Griffin III, who won the Heisman Trophy. Wright is a native of Mount Pleasant, Texas.

2013 Highlights: ¾ At Pittsburgh (9/8), caught two passes for 11 yards. ¾ At Houston (9/15), led the club with seven receptions for 54 yards, in-

cluding a touchdown catch. In the first quarter, he scored his fifth career touchdown on a six-yard pass from Jake Locker.

¾ Against San Diego (9/22), recorded 71 yards on six receptions, finish-ing second on the team in both categories. It was the second-highest yard-age total of his two-year career. On the game winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, he recorded catches of nine and 16 yards.

¾ Against the New York Jets (9/22), tied for the team lead with five recep-tions for 56 receiving yards, including a long reception of 25 yards.

¾ Against Kansas City (10/6), led the team with six receptions for 74 yards, including a long of 24 yards.

¾ At Seattle (10/13), led the team with five receptions for 69 yards, includ-ing a 32-yard catch in the first quarter.

His reception total tied his career high (Oct. 7, 2012 at Minnesota), and his yardage total set a new career best (78 vs. Houston on Dec. 2, 2012). In his 22nd career game, he went past 100 career catches, tying Bill Groman (1960–1961) and Webster Slaughter (1992–1993) for the second-fewest games in franchise history to 100 re-ceptions (Charlie Hennigan, 21). He also eclipsed 1,000 career receiving yards.

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

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

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

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

Levitre’s GP/GS: 7/7 (2013), 71/71 (career) ¾ Mike Otto is in his sixth NFL season in 2013. He was drafted out of

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

Otto’s GP/GS: 7/0 (2013), 54/5 (career) ¾ The team’s starter at left tackle is Michael Roos,

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

Roos’ GP/GS: 7/7 (2013), 134/134 (career) ¾ Brian Schwenke was selected by the Titans in the fourth round (107th

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

Schwenke’s GP/GS: 1/1 (2013), 1/1 (career) ¾ Chris Spencer was signed by the Titans on April 5, 2013. He is a veta-

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

Spencer’s GP/GS: 7/0 (2013), 112/89 (career) ¾ At right tackle, David “Big Country” Stewart’s eighth NFL season

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

Stewart’s GP/GS: 7/7 (2013), 111/111 (career) ¾ Byron Stingily was selected by the Titans in the sixth round of the 2011

NFL Draft. After not playing as a rookie, he saw action in five games in 2012, including starts in the final two games of the season at right tackle. He is capable of backing up both tackle positions.

Stingily’s GP/GS: 0/0 (2013), 5/2 (career) ¾ Rob Turner joined the Titans as an unrestricted free agent in March

2013. He arrived with 57 games of NFL experience with the New York Jets and St. Louis Rams. In his only season with the Rams in 2012, he started all 16 games—nine at center and seven at left guard. The University of New Mexico product originally entered the NFL as an un-drafted free agent with the Jets in 2007.

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

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

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

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

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

¾ Britt is an avid player of the video game Call of Duty.

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

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

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

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

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

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

High School. Former All-Pro cornerback Ty Law and Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka both attended the school, and Campbell played alongside current N.Y. Jets Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis.

DT JURRELL CASEY ¾ Family members, friends and teammates call him “Tut-Tut,” a nickname

he earned from his aunt as a small child because she said he walked like a turtle.

¾ Casey has a total of nine brothers and sisters. ¾ When he was in high school, his older brother, Jurray, was convicted

of first-degree murder. Despite the turmoil it caused, Jurrell credits his brother for helping him re-focus on becoming a better football player and student.

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

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

¾ Edwards was quite the athlete in high school. Besides his exploits on the gridiron, he was an all-star performer in basketball, an exceptional track and field athlete excelling in the shot put and a first baseman and designated hitter for the baseball team.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

classes at Kirkwood Community College in Iowa City.

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¾ Klug’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.

G ANDY LEVITRE 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.

QB JAKE LOCKER 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 played. While the Ferndawgs drape themselves in Washington purple and gold, very few of them attended the university.

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

eventual first-round pick, guard Chance Warmack.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

switched to safety in 2007.

¾ Wilson made his acting debut, appearing in Mary J. Blige’s music video “Hood Love” as the lead male and Blige’s love interest.

¾ Wilson hosts an annual charity bowling event and an annual football and cheer camp in his hometown of Paducah, Ky.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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