2013 AFC SOUTH STANDINGS

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have turned the page on the 2013 season and enter 2014 in the midst of significant change. A new coaching staff has been assembled to guide the team’s youthful roster, and the organization now begins the process of strengthening the core of the team. On Jan. 13, Ken Whisenhunt was hired as the 17th head coach in franchise history. He replaced Mike Munchak, who led the team from 2011 through the end of the 2013 cam-paign. During Munchak’s tenure, the Titans had a record of 22 wins and 26 losses, including a 7-9 mark in 2013. Whisenhunt arrives in Tennessee with 26 years of NFL experience—nine seasons as a player and 17 seasons as a coach. The 51-year-old native of Augusta, Ga., owns a résumé that includes six years as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. He got his start in coaching as an assistant at Vanderbilt University from 1995 to 1996. “Ken is a well-respected coach in this league, and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team,” said Titans President/CEO Tommy Smith. “He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner.” As Cardinals head coach from 2007 through 2012, Whisenhunt took the franchise to new heights. He won a franchise-record 49 games and led the organization to its first NFC Championship. After a team-record 12-win season in 2008—the first of two consecutive NFC West titles—the Cardinals made it to Super Bowl XLIII, only to suffer a narrow defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2013, Whisenhunt was the offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers. Under his direction, the Chargers had the NFL’s fifth-ranked offense (393.3 yards per game) and the league’s top offense on third down (49.0 percent). Quarterback Philip Rivers’ 105.5 passer rating matched the highest rating of his career and placed fourth among NFL sig-nal callers. For his efforts, Whisenhunt was named Assis-tant Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Writers of America. “I look for this to be a really fine marriage,” said Ruston Webster, who led the coaching search in his third offseason as general manager. “Ken is an outstanding offensive coach, but also an outstanding head coach. He has a background with several successful franchis-es, and we look forward to a new day and creating a new culture with the Tennessee Titans.” Whisenhunt was on the Steelers coaching staff from 2001 through 2006, spending the first three seasons as tight ends coach and the final three campaigns as offensive coordina-tor. With quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in only his second NFL season, the 2005 club won Super Bowl XL with Whisenhunt calling the plays. As a player, the former Georgia Tech walk-on played in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins and New York Jets. As a tight end, he caught 62 passes for 601 yards and six touchdowns in 74 career games. “This place is special to me, and that has a pull,” Whisenhunt said upon accepting the job in Tennessee. “From my experience as an opponent coming in here, the fan base is great. They are loud ... We have to do a good job of giving them a product to be proud of. The fact that I felt so good about Ruston—and Mr. Smith and I had many good conversations

and I felt really good about him when I met him—that was a big piece of it.”

STAFF COMES TOGETHER

One of Whisenhunt’s first tasks was to hire his coordinators. He set-tled upon Ray Horton as defensive coordinator and Jason Michael on the offensive side. Michael spent the last three seasons as the tight ends coach for the Chargers, working with tight ends Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green. In 2013, Gates led the Chargers in receptions (77), Green posted a 22.1-yard receiving average. Michael attended Western Kentucky University, where as a quarter-back he led the 2002 Hilltoppers to an NCAA I-AA Championship. He later spent three total seasons on Phillip Fulmer’s coaching staff at the University of Tennessee. Horton, who played safety for 10 total seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (1983-88) and Dallas Cowboys (1989-92), has spent the last 20 years in coaching. He was with Whisenhunt in 2011 and 2012 as defensive coordinator for the Cardinals. In 2013, Horton was the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. He helped transform the Browns from the 23rd-ranked defense the year before his arrival to the ninth-best defensive unit in the NFL under his leadership. Whisenhunt first encountered Horton in Pittsburgh. From 2004 through 2010, Horton served as the team’s defensive backs coach or as-sistant defensive backs coach. When Whisenhunt’s staff was finalized, it featured a total of 19 assis-tants. Twelve were new to the team, and seven remained from 2013. “You make relationships with coaches, with men as you go through this business, and part of my job is my assessment of good coaches,” Whisenhunt said. “When you get an opportunity to get those coaches with you, that’s what you do.”

OFFSEASON CALENDAR

Webster, Whisenhunt and their staffs already are deep into the evaluation process that will help determine the makeup of the 2014 roster. From the NFL Scouting Combine in Feb-ruary, to April pro days and player visits, to finally the draft from May 8-10, the Titans will work to identify the top incoming NFL talent. The Titans currently own the 11th overall draft pick and six total selections in the seven-round draft. They hope to find a player the caliber of many recent 11th picks, such as defensive end Dwight Freeney (Indianapo-lis Colts, 2002), Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers, 2004), defensive end DeMarcus Ware (Dallas Cowboys, 2005), linebacker Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers, 2007), defensive end J.J. Watt (Houston Texans, 2011) and defensive tackle Dontari Poe (Kansas City, 2012). Webster’s first two drafts as Titans general manager yielded 15 total players, and 13 of those were still with the team at the end of the 2013 campaign, either on the 53-man roster or injured reserve. Webster used first-round picks on Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright and Alabama offensive lineman Chance Warmack. Wright, the 20th pick in 2012, has 158 receptions for 1,705 yards and six touchdowns in his first two seasons. Warmack, the 10th pick in 2013, started every game at right guard as a rookie. In between the combine and the draft, the new league year and the free agency signing period are set to begin on the afternoon of March 11. The Titans will have the opportunity to sign players with expiring contracts from other teams, but they also face the possibility of losing some of their own players. In 2013, the Titans were one of the NFL’s most active clubs in free agency. They signed a number of play-ers early who went on to provide key roles, including guard Andy Levitre, safety Bernard Pollard and tight end Delanie Walker, among others. Veteran players under contract can begin the team’s offseason work-out program on April 7. The Titans and other teams with new head coaches get a two-week head start on the rest of the league (April 21) in starting their offseason programs. Also, clubs with new head coaches are allowed

to hold a voluntary veteran minicamp prior to the draft. In the weeks following the draft, a maximum of 10 Organized Team Activities (OTAs) get underway, plus a mandatory minicamp is allowed.

“A PIONEER AND INNOVATOR”

The 2014 offseason will be the first without the leadership of K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr., the team’s founder, owner, chairman of the board, presi-dent and CEO. This past Oct. 21, at the age of 90, Adams died of natural causes at his home in Houston. One of the original members of the American Football League’s “Fool-ish Club,” Adams was in his 54th year at the top of the organization. At the time of his death, he had accumulated 409 wins, more than any other current NFL owner. In the previous 53 full seasons, the franchise earned 21 playoff appearances, a total that ranked eighth among NFL teams in that time period. For the remaining nine games of the season after his passing, the Titans honored Adams with a patch on all player jerseys. “Bud Adams played a pivotal role in the growth of pro football as a pioneer and innovator,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “Bud saw the potential of pro football and brought the game to new cities and new heights of popularity, first in Houston and then in Nashville ... His commit-ment to the best interests of the game and league was unwavering, and his personal along with the team’s impact in community relations and philan-thropy set a standard for the NFL.” Said Atlanta Falcons Owner Arthur Blank: “Anyone who has ever en-joyed the experience of NFL football—fans, sponsors, business partners, players, coaches, club staff and club owners—owes Bud Adams a tremen-dous debt of gratitude.”

2013 IN REVIEW

On the field, the Titans were optimistic about their fortunes in 2013 after a 3-1 start, which included a 16-9 victory in the opener at Pittsburgh. The Titans became the first opponent to win in the Steelers’ home opener since 2002. After an overtime loss in Week 2 at Houston, the Titans played their home opener against San Diego, and Whisenhunt, at the time the offensive coordinator for the Chargers, got a first-hand look at one of the Titans’ most dramatic wins ever at LP Field. Trailing 17-13 with 2:05 on the clock in the fourth quarter, quarterback Jake Locker began to drive the Titans from their own six-yard line. Ten plays later, he launched a 34-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Justin Hunter for the win. The next week against the New York Jets, Locker and the Titans con-tinued their momentum, building a 24-6 lead in the first half. However, early in the third quarter, Locker’s day came to an end when he injured a knee and hip on the same play. With Locker starting the first four games, the Titans became only the second NFL team in the Super Bowl era (1966-present) to go four straight weeks at the beginning of the season without committing a turnover. The 1995 St. Louis Rams were the only previous team to accomplish the feat. Although Ryan Fitzpatrick came off the bench to seal the 38-13 win against the Jets, the Titans committed turnovers and suffered losses in their next two games with Locker out of the lineup—against the Kansas City Chiefs and at the Seattle Seahawks. Locker returned the following week against the San Francisco 49ers but was unable to reverse the tide, as the Titans lost their third consecutive game. After a Week 8 bye, the Titans got back in the win column with a 28-21 win at St. Louis. Chris Johnson rushed for a season-high 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Rams, including the game winner from 19 yards in the fourth quarter. The Titans were 4-4, facing consecutive home games against division-al opponents. But on Nov. 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, misfortune descended upon the Titans and Locker once again. In the second quarter, Locker was removed from the contest due to a problem with his right foot. It was later revealed that he suffered a Lisfranc injury, which would require surgery and end his season. The Titans lost the game against the Jaguars and the ensuing matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Locker, the former eighth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, appeared in seven total games in his third NFL season, completing 111 of 183 passes for 1,256 yards, eight touchdowns, four interceptions and a passer rating of 86.7. At the time of his season-ending injury, he ranked fourth in the NFL in third-down passer rating (103.7) and eighth in the league in fourth-quarter passer rating (105.9). As a result of Locker’s injuries, Fitzpatrick played in 11 total games with nine starts. He was 217-of-350 passing for 2,454 yards, 14 touch-downs and 12 interceptions (82.0 passer rating). Fitzpatrick’s most thrilling finish came Nov. 24 at Oakland, when he passed for 320 yards against the Raiders, including a 10-yard, game-win-ning touchdown pass to Wright in the final seconds. The victory marked the first time the Titans had a 300-yard passer and two 100-yard receivers (103 by Wright, 109 by Hunter) since 2004. Two seasons into his career, Wright has put up reception numbers that put him in elite company. He is the first player in franchise history to lead the team in receptions in each of his first two NFL campaigns, and his 158 catches in that span were the most in team annals for a player’s first two campaigns. In 2013, he ranked seventh in the NFL, led the team and finished fifth in franchise history with 94 catches for a team-high 1,079 receiving yards. Wright and Hunter (18 receptions for 354 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie) were two of the quarterbacks’ top targets, but others excelled as well, such as Walker. An unrestricted free agent signee from the San Francisco 49ers, Walker put up career-best numbers in his first year in Ten-nessee. With 60 receptions for 571 yards, he became the only Titans/Oil-ers tight end other than Frank Wycheck to reach 60 receptions in a single season, and his six touchdown receptions were the most by a franchise tight end since Wycheck’s six in 1996. Wide receiver Nate Washington, who leads the Titans in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns since his arrival in 2009, ranked second on the club with 919 yards on 58 receptions. He ranks ninth in team

history and third among all active undrafted players in receiving yards. After consecutive road losses to the Colts and Denver Broncos, the Titans played the Cardinals in Week 15 at LP Field. Although they rallied to come back from a 17-point deficit with four minutes remaining, their near-historic comeback attempt ended in overtime with their ninth loss of the year. In the final two games of the year, Tennessee found success on the ground, rushing for 333 total yards to defeat the Jaguars and the Texans. Johnson finished the season with 1,077 yards on 279 carries, while Shonn Greene added 77 rushing attempts for 295 yards. Johnson continued to add to his lengthy list career accomplishments. The organization’s third all-time leading rusher became the sixth player in NFL history to record at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first six seasons, joining the select company of Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, LaDainian Tomlinson, Eric Dickerson and Co-rey Dillon. Since Johnson’s arrival in the NFL in 2008, only Adrian Peterson (8,774) has more rushing yards than Johnson’s 7,965. Johnson recorded 9,968 total scrimmage yards from 2008 through 2013, the 10th-best figure in league history through a player’s first six seasons. Johnson and Greene ran behind an offensive line that turned over all three interior players from 2012 to 2013. Warmack played every snap as a rookie, and another rookie, fourth-rounder Brian Schwenke, emerged to start nine times at center. At left guard, Levitre, who was a prized free agent from the Buffalo Bills, started every game in his first season with the club. The longest tenured offensive players on the Titans roster, left tackle Michael Roos and right tackle David Stewart, returned for their ninth sea-sons, although Stewart missed four games due to multiple injuries.

VERNER AND CASEY HIGHLIGHT DEFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT

A year after fielding the 27th-ranked defensive unit in the NFL, the Titans finished 14th in the NFL in 2013 and were 11th best in defending the pass. On third down, the defense allowed conversions on only 34.3 percent of plays, which was good for seventh in the league. Helped by a consistent secondary that featured cornerbacks Jason McCourty and Alterraun Verner, as well as Pollard and Michael Griffin at safety, the Titans’ 15 touchdown passes allowed were the least in the NFL. Also, opposing offenses combined for an 83.3 passer rating against the Titans, the defense’s best finish since 2008. McCourty and Verner were credited by Titans coaches with 42 passes defensed in 2013, the most by a pair of defenders in the “Titans era” (1999 to present). Verner earned his first career Pro Bowl invitation and was named second-team Associated Press All-Pro after leading the team and tying for fifth place in the NFL with five interceptions. Pollard led the defense and set a career high with 142 tackles, which was the the second-highest total by a Titans/Oilers safety since 1990. Grif-fin finished the 2013 campaign in a tie for fifth place among franchise safe-ties with 22 career interceptions. On the defensive line, the regular starters were defensive ends Der-rick Morgan and Ropati Pitoitua, along with defensive tackles Sammie Hill and Jurrell Casey. Like Verner, Casey was named second-team Associated Press All-Pro. The third-year defender’s 10.5 sacks not only led the team but made up the second-highest total by a franchise defensive tackle since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 (13 by Ray Childress in 1992). Among NFL defen-sive tackles in 2013, Casey’s sack total trailed only Jason Hatcher of the Dallas Cowboys (11). Akeem Ayers started the major-ity of the season at strongside linebacker in the team’s 4-3 scheme, while Zach Brown manned the weakside. In the middle, Moise Fokou, another of the team’s free agent acquisitions, served as the signal caller for most of the campaign. Brown led the group and ranked second on the defense with 117 tackles.

INDIVIDUAL MILESTONES IN 2013 INDIVIDUAL MILESTONES IN 2013

The Titans know the 16 opponents they will face during the 2014 regu-lar season. In addition to home and road games against each of their AFC South rivals (Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars), the Titans will face every team from the AFC North (on the road against the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals; at home against the Cleve-land Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers) and every team from the NFC East (at home against the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys; on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins). Additionally, every team has two conference games scheduled based on order of finish within its respective division. The Titans finished in sec-ond place in the AFC South, and as a result, they will have a 2014 home game against the AFC East’s second-place New York Jets and a road con-test against the AFC West’s second-place Kansas City Chiefs. Preseason opponents as well as dates and times of regular season games are typically announced by the NFL in April.

TITANS/OILERS ALL-TIME RECORD

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.

ADAMS ONE OF NFL’S ENDURING FIGURES

Bud Adams and Warren Moon


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 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.

Former 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 or-ganization 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 imme-diately 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 seeing 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 prob-ably spent a good hour with him that day, that first meeting. It was all about the organization’s history and what was going on down there. I felt like I was with a guy who really loved what he did, loved the excitement of the NFL. (I felt) like this guy was a pioneer for bringing the league together into what it is today. It was exciting for me because I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know a whole lot about the Oilers. I felt in that short hour I was going to be part of something special. I didn’t know it would be 30-something years that day, but we got along well ... If you’ve been around Mr. Adams, and I know a lot of you have been, he loves to tell stories about the passions he has in

Titans players wore a patch on their jerseys to honor the late K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr., the team’s founder and owner who passed away at his home in Houston on Oct. 21. The 2½-inch circular patch featured a black background and a thin, white border. Inside the border, the Titans’ “fireball” logo was atop the capital letters “BUD” in a bold, white font. The patch appeared on the player’s right chest, opposite the commemorative 15-year patch on the left side that the team wore all season.

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

The Foolish Club


Ruston Webster and Chance Warmack

Ruston Webster completed his second year as executive vice president/general manager in 2013 after serving two seasons as Titans vice pres-ident of player personnel. He was elevated to his current position on Jan. 18, 2012. During the 2013 offseason, Webster engi-neered deals with 17 free agents. Among the sign-ees in their first season with the team, strong safety Bernard Pollard and left guard Andy Levitre start-ed all 16 games, and Pollard led the defense with a career-high 142 tackles. Defensive end Ropati Pi-toitua (16 games, 13 starts) and defensive tackle Sammie Hill (13 games, 10 starts) were key members of the defensive line rotation, while Moise Fokou (12 starts) was the defensive signal caller for most of the season at middle linebacker. Tight end Delanie Walker (15 games, 11 starts) totaled 60 receptions for 571 yards and six touchdowns, setting career highs in all three categories. Walker became the only tight end in franchise history other than Frank Wycheck to reach 60 receptions in a single season, and his six touchdown receptions tied for fourth place in franchise history among tight ends and were the most since Wycheck’s six in 1996. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was signed to back up Jake Locker, started nine times and passed for 2,454 yards. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Webster made Alabama guard Chance Warmack the first of eight total selections, which also featured second-round wide receiver Justin Hunter. Warmack and left tackle Michael Roos were the only two Titans to participate in 100 percent of the offensive or defensive plays in 2013, and Warmack became the team’s first rookie offensive lineman since Roos in 2005 to start every game. Meanwhile, Hunter’s four touchdown receptions tied Kendall Wright (2012) and Ty-rone Calico (2003) for the most by a franchise rookie since Chris Sanders’ nine in 1995. Another rookie, fourth-round center Brian Schwenke, started nine total games. In total, players Webster obtained during the 2013 offseason via the draft or free agency combined for a total of 257 games played and 129 starts in their first season with the Titans. During the 2012 offseason, his first as general manager, Webster en-gineered deals to retain key talent, signing tight end Craig Stevens, safety Michael Griffin and cornerback Jason McCourty to new long-term con-tracts. In his first draft as general manager, Webster upgraded the offensive speed and athleticism with the first-round selection of Wright, a wide re-ceiver from Baylor and the first in a seven-member draft class. Wright went on to become the second-leading rookie receiver in franchise history with 64 catches. In his second campaign, he led the team and ranked seventh in the NFL with 94 receptions while notching his first 1,000-yard season (1,079). Wright became the first player in franchise history to lead the team in receptions in each of his first two NFL campaigns, and his 158 total re-ceptions were tops in his draft class from 2012 through 2013. The Titans’ 2012 second-round pick, North Carolina linebacker Zach Brown, tied for fourth place among all rookies in 2012 with three intercep-tions, and he tied for fifth in the rookie class with 5.5 sacks. He was the only player to finish among the top five rookies in both categories.

GENERAL MANAGER RUSTON WEBSTERmemories 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.”

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

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

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

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


Prior to his arrival in Tennessee in 2010, Webster gained 22 years of personnel experience split between the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his four years in Seattle, Webster was the vice presi-dent of player personnel and oversaw the day-to-day management of the pro personnel and college scouting departments. Webster spent 18 years with Tampa Bay in a variety of roles, including the director of player personnel (2005), director of college scouting (2001-04), director of pro personnel (1989-91) and regional college scout (1988, Northeast; 1992, South; 1993, Midwest; 1995-2000, Southwest). He was a part of the front office staff that helped build the Super Bowl XXXVII Cham-pion Buccaneers in 2002. Webster started his career as a college coach with stops as a gradu-ate assistant at Southwestern Louisiana (1985), Alabama (1986) and Tulsa (1987).

Q. When does the 2014 free agency signing period begin?

A. At 3:00 PM CT on Tuesday, March 11. Q. What are the categories of free agency?

A. Players are either “restricted” or “unrestricted” free agents. Within the categories are also “franchise” and “transition” players.

Q. What is the time period for free agency signings this year?

A. For restricted free agents, from March 11 to May 2. For unrestricted free agents who have received the June 1 tender from their prior Club, from March 11 to July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). For fran-chise players, from March 11 until the Tuesday following the 10th week of the regular season. If a franchise player does not sign by the Tuesday following the 10th week of the regular season, he must sit out the season.

Q. What is permitted during the new three-day negotiating period prior to the start of free agency?

A. Beginning at 3:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 8 and ending at 2:59:59 p.m. CT on Tuesday, March 11, clubs are permitted to contact, and enter into negotiations with, the certified agents of players who will become Unrestricted Free Agents upon the expiration of their 2013 Player Contracts at 3:00 p.m. CT on March 11. However, a contract cannot be executed with a new club until 3:00 p.m. CT on March 11. Dur-ing this negotiation period, a prospective Unrestricted Free Agent cannot visit a club (other than the player’s current club) at its permanent facility or at any other location, and no direct contact is permitted between the player and any employee or represen-tative of a club (other than the player’s current club). If a player is self-represented, clubs are prohibited from discussions with the player during the negotiating period. Clubs (other than the player’s current club) may not discuss or make any travel ar-rangements with prospective Unrestricted Free Agent players, their certified agents, or anyone else associated with the player until the expiration of those players’ 2013 Player Contracts at 3:00 p.m. CT on March 11. The three-day negotiating period ap-plies only to potential Unrestricted Free Agents; it does not apply to players who are potential Exclusive Rights Players or Restricted Free Agents, or to players who have been designated as Franchise Players or Transition Players.

Q. Who are some of the notable unrestricted free agent acquisitions by the Titans in recent years?

A. Included in Tennessee’s unrestricted free agent signings in 2013 were guard Andy Levitre, running back Shonn Greene, tight end Delanie Walker, linebacker Moise Fokou, defensive tackle Sammie Hill, safety Bernard Pollard, defensive end Ropati Pitoitua, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and defensive tackle Antonio John-son. In prior years, the Titans used free agency to acquire quarterback Matt Hassel-beck (2011), safety Jordan Babineaux (2011), defensive end Jason Babin (2010), linebacker Will Witherspoon (2010), wide receiver Nate Washington (2009), guard Jake Scott (2008), wide receiver Justin Gage (2007), cornerback Nick Harper (2007), linebacker David Thornton (2006), center Kevin Mawae (2006), safety Chris Hope (2006) and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch (2005).

Q. What is the difference between a restricted free agent and an unrestricted free agent?

A. In the 2014 League Year, players with three accrued seasons become restricted free agents when their contracts expire. Unrestricted free agents have completed four or more accrued seasons. An unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any club with no draft choice compensation owed to his old club.

Q. What constitutes an “accrued season”?

A. Six or more regular-season games on a club’s active/inactive, reserved/injured or reserve/physically unable to perform lists.

Q. Other than accrued seasons, what determines a restricted free agent?

A. He has received a “qualifying offer” (a salary tender predetermined by the Collec-tive Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players) from his old club. He can negotiate with any club through May 2. If the restricted free agent signs an offer sheet with a new club, his old club can match the offer and retain him because it has a “right of first refusal.” If the old club does not match the offer, it may receive draft choice compensation depending on the amount of its qualifying offer. If an offer sheet is not executed on or before May 2, the player’s negotiating rights revert exclusively to his old club.

Q. What determines an unrestricted free agent?

A. A player with four or more accrued seasons whose contract has expired. He is free to sign with any club, with no draft choice compensation owed to his old club, through July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). At that point, his negotiating rights revert exclusively to his old club if by June

1 the old club tendered the player a one-year contract for 110 percent of his prior year’s salary. His old club then has until the Tuesday following the 10th week of the regular season (November 11) to sign him. If he does not sign by that date, he must sit out the season. If no tender is offered by June 1, the player can be signed by any club at any time throughout the season.

Q. What determines a franchise player?

A. The salary offer by a player’s club determines what type of franchise player he is: exclusive or non-exclusive.

An “exclusive” franchise player – not free to sign with another club – is offered the greater of (i) the average of the top five salaries at the player’s position for the current year as of the end of the Restricted Free Agent Signing Period on April 19; or (ii) the amount of the Required Tender for a non exclusive franchise player, as explained below.

The methodology for calculating the Required Tender for a non-exclusive franchise player is explained in Article 10, Section 2(a)(i) of the Collective Bargaining Agree-ment. It is known as the “Cap Percentage Average” for calculating the Required Tender for such a player: “The Nonexclusive Franchise Tender shall be a one year NFL Player Contract for (A) the average of the five largest Prior Year Salaries for play-ers at the position . . . at which the Franchise Player participated in the most plays [formerly, “games”] during the prior League Year, which average shall be calculated by: (1) summing the amounts of the Franchise Tags for players at that position for the five preceding League Years; (2) dividing the resulting amount by the sum of the Salary Caps for the five preceding League Years . . . ; and (3) multiplying the resulting percentage by the Salary Cap for the upcoming League Year . . . (the “Cap Percent-age Average”) . . . ; or (B) 120% of his Prior Year Salary, whichever is greater . . .”

If a club extends a Required Tender to a non exclusive franchise player pursuant to this section, the player shall be permitted to negotiate a player contract with any club, except that draft choice compensation of two first-round draft selections shall be made in the event he signs with a new club.

Q. How many franchise and transition players can a team designate each sea-son?

A. A team can designate one “franchise” player or one “transition” player among its potential free agents.

Q. Can a club withdraw its franchise or transition designation on a player?

A. Yes. A club can withdraw its franchise or transition designation, and the player then automatically becomes an unrestricted free agent, either immediately or when his contract expires.

Q. After withdrawing the designation, can a club then designate another play-er?

A. Not in the 2014 season.

Q. Have the Titans used the franchise or transition designations recently?

A. The last Titans player to receive the franchise designation was safety Michael Griffin in 2012. After receiving the franchise tag, Griffin and the Titans reached a long-term contract agreement. Prior to Griffin, the Titans used the franchise designa-tion in 2008 on defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and in 2009 on tight end Bo Scaife. Before Haynesworth, the Titans had not applied the franchise tag to a player since Blaine Bishop in 1997. The transition designation has not been used by the Titans since they applied it to punter Craig Hentrich in 2003. The tag was removed after one week, and he was signed to a long-term contract.

Q. What is the salary cap for 2014?

A. The NFL has not yet released the salary cap figure for 2014, but it is expected to exceed the 2013 salary cap of $123,000,000 per club.

Q. When do teams have to be in compliance with the salary cap?

A. At the start of the 2014 League Year, which begins at 3:00 p.m. CT on March 11.

Q. If a team is under the salary cap at the end of a given season, can the team carry over room to the next season?

A. Yes. A team may carry over room from one League Year to the following League Year by submitting notice to the NFL prior to 3:00 p.m. CT on the day before the team’s final regular-season game indicating the amount of its remaining room that the club wishes to carry over.

Q. What is the maximum amount of room that a club can carry over?

A. One hundred percent of its remaining room.

FREE AGENCY PRIMER


The Titans currently hold one pick in six of the seven rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft, including the 11th overall selection in the first round. The third round is the only one in which the Titans do not own a pick. On Day 2 of the 2013 selection process, they dealt their 2014 third-rounder to the San Francisco 49ers in order to move up in the second round to se-lect wide receiver Justin Hunter. Additionally, the NFL will award a total of 32 compensatory picks to teams in Rounds 3-7, based on net unrestricted free agency losses in 2013. However, the Titans signed more free agents last offseason than they lost. THREE-DAY EVENT SET FOR MAY 8-10

The 2014 NFL Draft will begin in primetime for the fifth consecutive time, but it will fall later in the offseason than in previous years. The last four drafts kicked off on the fourth Thursday in April. This year, the three-day event starts with the first round on Thursday, May 8. The second and third rounds are set for Friday, May 9, and Rounds 4-7 will be held on Saturday, May 10. The entire draft will be televised by NFL Network and ESPN. The NFL will conduct the draft from Radio City Music Hall in New York City, while Titans personnel will be headquartered at Saint Thomas Sports Park in Nashville.

WEBSTER ENTERS THIRD DRAFT

The selection process will be the third overseen by Ruston Webster, who was named general manager on Jan. 18, 2012. His first two drafts yielded 15 total players, and 13 of those finished the 2013 season on the 53-man roster or injured reserve. Webster’s first-ever pick as general manager was Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright, chosen in 2012 with the 20th selection in the first round. In two seasons, Wright has totaled 158 receptions for 1,705 yards and six touchdowns. His 158 catches are the most by anyone in the 2012 draft class and are the most in franchise history in a player’s first two campaigns. Among Webster’s other 2012 draft picks, second-round linebacker Zach Brown appeared in all 32 games with 26 starts in his first two sea-sons. He already has 9.5 career sacks and four interceptions. Fourth-round cornerback Coty Sensabaugh emerged in 2013 as the defense’s nickel back. Additionally, defensive tackle Mike Martin (third round) and tight end Taylor Thompson (fifth round) have been regulars in their posi-tional rotations early in their careers. In 2013, Webster used the 10th overall pick in Alabama offensive line-man Chance Warmack, who played in 100 percent of the team’s offensive snaps at right guard as a rookie. Warmack became the first offensive line-man for the team to start every game as a rookie since tackle Michael Roos in 2005. In the second round, Webster seized the opportunity to jump up from the 40th overall pick to the 34th spot to select Hunter. In his rookie year, Hunter led the team with a 19.7 yards-per-catch average, hauling in 18 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns. He was only the fourth Titans/Oilers rookie with four or more touchdown receptions since 1995. Another major contributor from the 2013 class was center Brian Schwenke. A fourth-round pick, he suffered a setback early in training camp when he injured a hamstring. However, he was in the lineup by mid-season and totaled nine starts. Four others—cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (third round), linebacker Zaviar Gooden (third round), defensive end Lavar Edwards (fifth round), and safety Daimion Stafford (seventh round)—played as rookies in 2013. Cornerback Khalid Wooten (sixth round) finished the season on the active roster but did not play. In total, the 2013 draft class accounted for 84 games played and 27 starts.

THE 11TH PICK

In determining draft order, non-playoff clubs select first through 20th, according to the reverse order of their standing (i.e., the team with the worst record receives the first pick, the team with the second-worst record receives the second pick, etc.). Playoff teams select 21st through 32nd based on their level of advancement in the postseason. The Titans were one of four teams in 2013 to win seven games, along with the Detroit Lions, New York Giants and St. Louis Rams. The four clubs will rotate picks 10-13 in each round, meaning the Titans were assigned the 10th spot in the second round, the 13th pick in the third round (traded pick), the 12th pick in the fourth round, etc.

TITANS, WEBSTER TO DRAFT 11TH

The franchise has owned the 11th overall pick twice since the NFL and American Football League began the “common draft” in 1967. In 1977, the Oilers selected Missouri tackle Morris Towns, and in 1985, they took Wisconsin defensive back Richard Johnson. Towns went on to play in 88 games in seven seasons with the Oilers (1977-83). Johnson spent eight years with the club, played in 98 contests and totaled 15 interceptions. Other previous 11th overall picks include linebacker Wilber Marshall (Chicago Bears, 1984), wide receiver Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboys, 1988), guard Leon Searcy (Pittsburgh Steelers, 1992), tackle Tra Thomas (Phila-delphia Eagles, 1998), quarterback Daunte Culpepper (Minnesota Vikings, 1999), defensive end Dwight Freeney (Indianapolis Colts, 2002), corner-back Marcus Trufant (Seattle Seahawks, 2003), quarterback Ben Roethlis-berger (Pittsburgh Steelers, 2004), defensive end DeMarcus Ware (Dallas Cowboys, 2005), quarterback Jay Cutler (Denver Broncos, 2006), lineback-er Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers, 2007), tackle Anthony Davis (San Francisco 49ers, 2010). More recently, the Houston Texans selected Wis-consin defensive end J.J. Watt with the 11th pick in 2011, Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe was taken 11th by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012, and the San Diego Chargers drafted tackle D.J. Fluker 11th in 2013.

RECENT TITANS DRAFTS

http://www.titansonline.com/mediaguide/all-time_draft_selections.html


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 over-all pick in the first round. The selection of Warmack was followed by the drafting of former Tennessee wide receiver Justin Hunt-er (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 cornerback Khalid Wooten (sixth round) and Nebraska safety Daimion Stafford (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)Rookie Season: Chance Warmack started all 16 games at right guard, playing every snap on offense during the season. College: In a four-year career at Alabama, Warmack appeared in 45 games, including starts in his final 40 contests—every game his sophomore, junior and senior sea-sons—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. When the Titans selected him with the 10th overall pick in the draft, he became the first offensive lineman selected by the Titans/Oilers in the first round since tackle Brad Hopkins (13th overall) in 1993.

¾ WR JUSTIN HUNTER (6-4, 203, Tennessee, 2nd round, 34th overall)Rookie Season: Justin Hunter played in 14 games and totaled 18 re-ceptions for 354 yards and four touchdowns. His 19.7-yard average led the team, and his four touchdown receptions tied (Wright in 2012, Calico in 2003) for the most by a franchise rookie since Chris Sanders’ nine in 1995. 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. 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)Rookie Season: Blidi Wreh-Wilson (pronounced blee-dee ray WIL-son) played in 13 games as a rookie reserve and totaled nine tackles, a tackle for loss, a pass defensed and a forced fumble. He added five special teams tackles and a forced fumble on special teams. College: In four seasons at the University of Connecticut, Wreh-Wilson played in 46 games with 39 starts.

He started games at three different positions during his career, totaling 16 starts at left guard, 12 at center and eight at right guard. As a senior, he played center for the first time and was named first-team All-Pac-12 by the league’s coaches.

¾ DE LAVAR EDWARDS (6-4, 278, LSU, 5th round, 142nd overall)Rookie Season: Lavar Edwards saw action in seven games with one start as a rookie. His season totals included 10 tackles, a quarterback pres-sure, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed. College: In four seasons at Louisiana State, Edwards started 15 of 52 games and recorded 96 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, six quarterback pressures, two forced fum-bles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and five passes defensed. He played behind a pair of high-round 2013 draft picks (Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery). As a senior, he was one of the recipients of the team’s Unsung Hero Award after posting 26 tackles, and 4.5 sacks in 13 games (six starts).

¾ CB KHALID WOOTEN (5-11, 212, Nevada, 6th round, 202nd overall)Rookie Season: As a rookie, Khalid Wooten spent most of the season on the practice squad. He was on the 53-man roster but inactive for the final two contests. College: In four seasons at Nevada, Wooten appeared in 51 games with 25 starts and collected 158 tackles, 10 interceptions, 29 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, a sack and four tackles for loss. As a senior, he started 12 games and registered 53 tackles, two interceptions, a sack, two tackles for loss, a team-high 15 passes defensed and a forced fumble.

¾ S DAIMION STAFFORD (6-1, 218, Nebraska, 7th round, 248th overall)Rookie Season: As a rookie, Daimion Stafford played in every game as a reserve safety and regular contributor on special teams. He ranked fourth on the club with 12 special teams tackles and added one stop on defense. College: Stafford attended Nebraska after being one of the most highly sought-after prospects in the junior-college ranks. He played in 21 total games at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Then, at Nebraska, he started 26 of 27 games and totaled 176 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a quarterback pressure, seven tackles for loss, four interceptions, 17 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. His 176 tackles in his two seasons at Nebraska made up the fourth-best total in school history among two-year players. As a senior, Stafford was named first-team All-Big Ten after starting 14 games, leading the team with four interceptions and ranking second on the squad with 96 tackles.

Ken Whisenhunt was named the 17th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 13, 2014. Whisenhunt arrived in Tennessee at the age of 51 with 17 seasons of NFL coaching experience, including six years (2007-12) as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. As head coach for the Cardinals, he won a franchise-record 49 games, including an appearance in Super Bowl XLIII after a team-record 12-win season in 2008. In 2013, Whisenhunt served as offensive coordinator for the San Di-ego Chargers. In his only season in San Diego, he led the NFL’s fifth-ranked offense (393.3 yards per game) and the league’s top offense on third down (49.0 percent). The Chargers ranked fourth in passing offense (270.5 yards per game), as quarterback Philip Rivers matched the high-est passer rating of his career (105.5) and placed fourth in the NFL among all passers. For his efforts, Whisenhunt was named Professional Football Writers of America’s 2013 Assistant Coach of the Year. Through his career, Whisenhunt has been associated with prolific of-fenses and top-flight quarterbacks. From 2001 through 2006, he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the first three years as tight ends coach and the final three as offensive coordinator. In each of his years as Steelers offen-sive coordinator, the team ranked in the top 10 in rushing offense, including placing second in 2004, when the team averaged 154 rushing yards per game with rookie Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback. In 2005, the Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. That season, Whisenhunt helped the team rank first in the NFL in pass-ing yards per attempt (8.2), fifth in rushing yards per contest (138.9), fifth in red zone efficiency (60.7 touchdown percentage) and first in goal-to-go efficiency (88.9 touchdown percentage). Whisenhunt took over as head coach in Arizona in 2007 and led the Cardinals to back-to-back NFC West titles in 2008 (9-7 record) and 2009 (10-6). The 2008 team fielded the fourth best offense in the NFL, won the franchise’s first NFC Championship, and clinched the club’s first Super Bowl berth. The 2008 squad also set the team record and placed third in the NFL with 427 points scored. When Whisenhunt arrived in Arizona, he began working with Kurt Warner and guided the quarterback to some of the best years of his career. In the three years they were together, Warner passed for 11,753 yards (fifth in the NFL during that span) and 83 touchdowns (tied for fourth). Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald earned Pro Bowl selections in each of the six seasons Whisenhunt was in Arizona. Over those six seasons, Fitzgerald was sixth in the NFL in receptions (534), seventh in receiving yards (7,278) and third in touchdown receptions (53). For his career at Arizona, Whisenhunt posted a 49-53 record, which included a 4-2 postseason mark and a 7-2 record in overtime contests. Whisenhunt entered the NFL coaching ranks in 1997 as the tight ends coach for the Baltimore Ravens. He stayed in Baltimore for two seasons before spending one campaign (1999) with the Cleveland Browns as spe-cial teams coach and one year (2000) with the New York Jets as tight ends

Whisenhunt primarily played tight end as a walk-on at Georgia Tech from 1980-84 and earned All-ACC honors as a se-nior. He was selected by the At-lanta Falcons in the 12th round of the 1985 NFL Draft and went on to play nine NFL seasons, including four with the Falcons (1985-88), two with the Washing-ton Redskins (1989-90) and three with the New York Jets (1991-93).

Ken Whisenhunt Tidbits:

¾ The Augusta, Ga., native worked the 18th hole manual scoreboard as a teenager at the Masters golf tournament. He has played the course on a number of occasions, including a round in May 2008, when he shot an even-par 72 that included an eagle on the par-4 11th hole.

¾ Whisenhunt once contemplated a career in professional golf, and af-ter retiring as a player in 1993, he spent a year away from football and played golf extensively, including competing in the 1994 U.S. Mid-Ama-teur at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. Whishenhunt’s best career score is a 65 and he has made two holes in one during his lifetime.

¾ Whisenhunt holds a civil engineering degree from Georgia Tech. ¾ He became the first five-time football letterman in Georgia Tech history (1980-84). He played a number of positions, including quarterback and wide receiver, before settling at tight end.

¾ He is credited with a leading role in one of the great moments in Georgia Tech history. As a walk-on, third-string freshman quarterback in 1980, he came off the bench following injuries to the starter and backup to help the Yellow Jackets to a 3-3 tie against top-ranked Notre Dame.

¾ Whisenhunt’s father, brother and father-in-law all served in the United States Air Force.

¾ Whisenhunt spent part of the 2011 offseason on an NFL-USO tour to the Persian Gulf. The trip included stops in Kuwait, Tikrit and Baghdad. Whisenhunt, Gary Kubiak, Jim E. Mora and Jim L.

Quotes on Ken Whisenhunt:

Titans President/CEO Tommy Smith (Jan. 13, 2014): “This is a big day for this franchise. Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team. He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner. I want to thank Ruston for his hard work in the process and the quality candidates that he brought in for interviews.”

General manager Ruston Webster (Jan. 13, 2014): “I have a lot of respect for Ken as a coach and as an offensive mind. The traits that stand out to me when identifying him as our next coach – he is intelligent, has a track record with quality offenses and head coaching success. I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego and we share similar philosophies

about the game. Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am ex-cited about Ken joining us and the future of the Titans.”

Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner (Jan. 14, 2014): “I thought he did a great job with us at Arizona. He brought honesty, integrity and consistency in his approach. It was enormous for us because we hadn’t won. He con-vinced us that we could win, that he had a plan and it will work. His biggest challenge was to convince us that we could do it. I consider him a players’ coach and I say that in a good way. He listens to players and takes their input. Now he may not always do what the players want if he doesn’t believe in it, but he has an open door. He also had a good pulse on the team and what we needed. His style also gave us ownership in the process, knowing that our voice could be heard, which was huge for us. It also helped the leaders on the team solidify those roles knowing we could have an impact with the coach. It helped the leaders be leaders. Offensively, what I loved about him was his flexibility. When he got to Arizona, his background in Pittsburgh was mostly two back/two tight end offense. But that wasn’t how we were built in Arizona. He was flexible to ideas and learned how I saw the game and fit the offense to what we had. We were able to develop an offense that was one of the best in the NFL and that input from those in the offense gave them an ownership and buy-in that helped us as well. You saw that in San Diego too. He was multiple in what he did there and was flexible to cater to what they had on the roster. I think he has grown a great deal in the last five or six years in his offensive approach and you see the success he has had. I appreciate his consistency, especially when you see coaches change because of success or struggles. He is a man of integrity and never wavered from that. He says what he is going to do and follows through on that. As players, sometimes you might not agree with it, but you know where he stands and you can battle for guys like that.”

Former Steelers Head Coach/Current NFL on CBS Analyst Bill Cowher (Jan. 14, 2014): “He spent time with us (at the Steelers) as both a tight ends coach and offensive coordinator and he works great with players. He played the game and he was respected by the players for his knowledge. He also was innovative and creative but always sound in what he did. He would put players in a position to be successful and get the most out of them. It is

important in the NFL to be able to create those situations for success, be-cause the challenges change on a weekly basis. I think it is a great hire by Tennessee. You look at what he did in Arizona and when he had stability at the quarterback position, he was very good. He will get the most out of the talent that they have there. I wish him nothing but the best.”

Former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis (Jan. 14, 2014): “First and foremost, Ken believes in old-fashion football. When you look at the playoffs this year and you see the teams that are having success, they have the ability to run the football. The running game wins games and wins championships. Ken understands this. He also believes that a strong defense is a critical compo-nent to any championship team, it isn’t just about the offense. I believe he is a great hire. He is going to breathe life back into the running game, whether CJ is there or not, because he will find a way to run it. That franchise has a proud history of running the football and being in the playoffs and Ken will bring those things back to Nashville.”

In conjunction with the July 11, 2013 announcement by Saint Thom-as Hospital that it was officially renaming the Baptist Hospital properties, the Tennessee Titans practice facility was renamed “Saint Thomas Sports Park.” The facility formerly known as Baptist Sports Park opened on Aug. 26, 1999, the team’s inaugural season as the Titans. The 80,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art building located on a 31-acre site at the MetroCenter com-plex in Nashville, contains lockers, weight rooms, and meeting rooms and offices for coaches, players and administrative staff. Saint Thomas Health, the leading faith-based health care system in Tennessee, renamed its family of five hospitals in Middle Tennessee to bet-ter reflect the organization’s common mission.

ROSTER AGE BREAKDOWN

From the time the Titans walked off the field on Dec. 30, 2012 follow-ing their season-ending victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to their 2013 season opener in Pittsburgh on Sept. 8, the Titans had more than 100 per-sonnel transactions (players released or signed). The final result of all the moves was 20 new players on the 53-man roster heading into the season opener, including 13 free agents and seven draft picks. The 38 percent roster turnover from 2012 to 2013 was the highest for the team in the franchise’s “Titans era” (1999–present). Previously, the high was set at 18 players (34 percent) in 2000 with nine draft picks, seven free agents, one player acquired in a trade and one off waivers. Then, in 2006, the Titans again had 18 new players on the opening-day roster, including seven draft picks, seven free agents and four players acquired via waivers. The list of new additions to the Titans from 2012 to Week 1 of 2013 included the following players:

Free agents (13): S George Wilson, G Andy Levitre, TE Delanie Walker, DT Sammie Hill, RB Shonn Greene, LB Moise Fokou, C Rob Turner, S Bernard Pollard, DE Ropati Pitoitua, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, G/C Chris Spencer, DT Antonio Johnson and RB Jackie Battle.Draft picks (7): G Chance Warmack, WR Justin Hunter, CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson, LB Zaviar Gooden, C Brian Schwenke, DE Lavar Ed-wards and S Daimion Stafford.

The 2013 list does not include free agent wide receiver Kevin Walter (started season on the physically unable to perform list) or sixth-round draft pick Khalid Wooten (started season on the practice squad).

20 NEW PLAYERS IN 2013

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 was 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.

Within individual games, the Titans’ fortunes have turned dramatically with turnovers. They are 45-1 in their last 46 games in which they are plus-two or better in turnovers. They had a 42-game winning streak in that scenario snapped on Sept. 15, 2013 at Houston. Previously, the last game they lost with a margin of at least plus two was against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 22, 2002 (plus four).

TITANS & TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL In 2013, Titans running back Chris Johnson recorded his sixth con-secutive season to reach the 1,000-yard rushing mark. His season con-tinues 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 16 seasons with a 1,000-yard rush-er from 1996 through the 2013 campaign.

Most individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons, 1996–2013:

1,000-Yard Team Seasons 1. Tennessee Titans 162. New York Jets 143. Cincinnati Bengals 13 Minnesota Vikings 13 San Francisco 49ers 13

MOST 1,000-YARD RUSHERS 1996-2013

In the “Titans era” (1999-present), the Titans have been one of the NFL’s top teams in defending the run, ranking sixth with 106.8 rushing yards per game allowed.

Fewest rushing yards allowed per game, 1999-present:

STOPPING THE RUN IN THE “TITANS ERA”


During the franchise’s “Titans era” (1999-present), the Titans have been one of the NFL’s best in return touchdowns. They have reached the end zone 69 times on interceptions, fumble returns and on special teams. In 2013, they had three return touchdowns--an interception return for a score by Alterraun Verner and a fumble recoveries for touchdowns by Karl Klug and Jason McCourty.

Most touchdowns on returns (kickoffs, punts, field goals, intercep-tions, fumbles, blocked kicks), 1999-present:

Team Return TDs1. Chicago Bears 872. Baltimore Ravens 723. Tennessee Titans 69 New England Patriots 695. Green Bay Packers 686. Arizona Cardinals 667. Seattle Seahawks 658. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 639. Buffalo Bills 62 Kansas City Chiefs 62

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

Most consecutive games to start a season without a turnover, 1966-present:

Team Season Games 1. Tennessee Titans 2013 4 St. Louis Rams 1995 43. Kansas City Chiefs 2013 3 New England Patriots 1998 3 Detroit Lions 1984 3

The Titans defense ranked first in the NFL in 2013 in fewest pass-ing touchdowns allowed. Titans opponents completed only 15 touchdown passes. The 15 opponents’ touchdown passes was the third-lowest total al-lowed by the Titans/Oilers in a 16-game season (since 1978). The only seasons the team fared better were 2000 (10) and 2008 (12).

Fewest passing touchdowns allowed in 2013:

One of the positive statistical trends for the Titans in 2013 was the team’s production on third down—on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Titans ranked eighth in the NFL and third in the AFC with a percentage of 41.4 on third down. Beginning with their win at St. Louis on Nov. 3 and also including games against Jacksonville (Nov. 10), Indianapolis (Nov. 14) and at Oakland (Nov. 24), they experienced a four-game streak in which they converted at least 54 percent on third down. It was the first time since the beginning of the 1991 campaign that the Titans/Oilers had as many as three consecutive games with a conver-sion rate of at least 54 percent on third down. Defensively, the Titans were seventh in the NFL and fourth in the AFC with an opponent third-down percentage of 34.3. Only three of their oppo-nents (San Francisco, Indianapolis and Arizona) were over 40 percent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¾ Against the New York Jets (9/29), went 18-of-24 for 149 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-high passer rating of 130.0 before leaving the game in the third quarter with knee and right hip injuries.

FRANCHISE QBs, FIRST 16 STARTS


Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick com-pleted his ninth NFL season and first with the Titans. He was signed by the Titans as a free agent in March 2013. After beginning the season as a backup to starter Jake Locker, Fitzpatrick was thrust into ac-tion in Week 4 against the New York Jets due to injuries to Locker. He started the next two games (against Kansas City and at Seattle) before Locker returned. Then, on Nov. 10, Locker suffered a significant foot injury that made Fitzpatrick the starter for the remainder of the season. In total, Fitzpatrick appeared in 11 games, including nine starts. He completed 217 of 350 passes for 2,454 yards, 14 touchdowns, 12 intercep-tions and a passer rating of 82.0. His 62.0 completion percentage tied his career best (62.0), and he set a career high with a yards-per-attempt aver-age of 7.0. He also rushed for 225 yards and a career-high three touch-downs. The strong-armed signal caller provides the offense with experience and leadership. Prior to his arrival in Tennessee, he started 68 games and passed for 14,336 yards with the St. Louis Rams (2005-2006), Cincinnati Bengals (2007-2008) and Buffalo Bills (2009-12). In 2012, Fitzpatrick started all 16 games with the Bills for the second consecutive season, throwing for 3,400 yards, 24 touchdowns (tied career high) and 16 interceptions on 306-of-505 passing. During the 2011 campaign, he started all 16 games for the first time in his career and set career-bests with 353 completions, 569 pass attempts, 3,832 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes. Fitzpatrick attended Harvard and finished his Crimson career ranked second in school history in completions (384), touchdown passes (39), passing yards (5,234) and completion percentage (59.9). He was the re-cipient of the Ivy League Player of the Year Award as a senior in 2004. The Gilbert, Ariz., native was originally selected by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round (250th overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft.

2013 Highlights: ¾ Against the New York Jets (9/29), saw action for the first time in a

Titans uniform after Jake Locker left in the third quarter with a hip and knee injuries. He completed three of eight passes for 108 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown pass to Nate Washington. It was the third-longest pass of Fitzpatrick’s career.

¾ Against Kansas City (10/6), started for Jake Locker (hip and knee inju-ries) and completed 21 of 41 passes for 247 yards, one touchdown and a pair of interceptions. He dumped off a short pass to Chris Johnson in the third quarter that turned into a 49-yard touchdown, his 94th career touch-down pass. He also gave the Titans a fourth-quarter lead with a nine-yard touchdown run, his seventh career touchdown run and his first in a Titans uniform. Earlier in the game his 26-yard run was the second-longest of his career, and his 50 total rushing yards in the game tied for the third-highest rushing total of his career.

Quarterback Rusty Smith completed his fourth NFL season in 2013. After being promoted to the active roster from the practice squad on Oct. 5, Smith was inactive three times and did not play in nine other contests. In 2012, as the team’s No. 3 quarterback be-hind Jake Locker and Matt Hasselbeck, he ap-peared in one game, was inactive in 11 games and did not play in four additional contests. As a rookie in 2010, Smith saw action in two games, filling in for Kerry Collins and Vince Young. He completed 20 of 40 passes for 200 yards. His lone start of the season came at Houston on Nov. 28. He did not play in a game in 2011.

#11 • QB RUSTY SMITH


Running back Chris Johnson completed his sixth NFL season in 2013. 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 2013, Johnson played in all 16 games (all starts) for the fifth consecutive season. He carried the ball 279 times for 1,077 yards and six touch-downs. His yardage total ranked third in the AFC and 11th in the NFL. Johnson became the sixth player in NFL history to record at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first six seasons, joining the select company of Barry Sanders (1989-98), Curtis Martin (1995-04), LaDainian Tomlinson (2001-08), Eric Dickerson (1983-89) and Corey Dillon (1997-02). 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 a Titans or Oilers uniform. After a player’s first six seasons, Johnson’s 7,965 rushing yards rank eighth in NFL history, trailing only Dickerson (9,915), Tomlinson (9,176), Emmitt Smith (8,956), Adrian Peterson (8,849), Sanders (8,672), Walter Payton (8,386) and Campbell (8,296). Since Johnson’s arrival in the NFL in 2008, only Adrian Peterson (8,774) has more rushing yards than him. No other running back in franchise history has recorded as many ca-reer receptions as Johnson. Including his 2,003 receiving yards, he totaled 9,968 scrimmage yards from 2008 through 2013. In NFL history, only nine players through their first six seasons had more: Tomlinson (12,076), Dickerson (11,337), Smith (10,907), Thurman Thomas (10,684), Marshall Faulk (10,553), Sand-ers (10,454), Peterson (10,375), Edgerrin James (10,222) and Payton (10,177). Remarkably durable during his career, Johnson never missed a game due to injury during his first six 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 Faulk’s 1999 record output of 2,429 scrimmage yards. Johnson came away with numerous awards and accolades in 2009,

FRANCHISE RUSHING LEADERS

including Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year, being named a starter in the Pro Bowl, a unanimous AP All-Pro selection and the FedEx Ground Player of the Year. As a rookie in 2008, Johnson produced one of the most extraordinary campaigns by a rookie running back in Titans history. Only two players in team annals – Campbell (1,450) and George (1,368) –rushed for more yards in their rookie seasons than Johnson, the 24th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. His total of 1,228 rushing yards was the third-highest in the AFC and eighth in the NFL in 2008, while his 4.9-yard average ranked first in the AFC, fourth in the NFL and sixth in franchise history.

Wide receiver Kenny Britt completed his fifth NFL season in 2013. In 12 games (three starts), Britt totaled 11 re-ceptions for 96 yards. In 2012, he played in 14 games (11 starts) in 2012 and finished third on the squad with a career-high 45 receptions. His 589 receiving yards also ranked third on the team, and he tied for the club lead with four receiving touchdowns. Britt came back from a serious knee injury the previous season. In 2011, he was off to the best start of his career, totaling 17 receptions for 289 yards and three touchdowns, before tearing his right ACL and MCL in Week 3. Britt’s totals in his first two seasons included 84 receptions for 1,476 yards and 12 touchdowns. He registered 42 receptions in each of his first two seasons for a total of 84 catches. His 1,476 yards from 2009 to 2010 led the Titans, and his 12 touchdown receptions in that time period tied Nate Washington for the team lead. With 701 receiving yards as a rookie and 775 yards in his second campaign, Britt became the first player for the franchise to lead the squad in receiving yards in each of his first two seasons since wide receiver Chris Sanders from 1995 to 1996. In 2010, Britt’s team-high nine touchdown receptions tied for ninth in franchise history and amounted to the highest total since Drew Bennett’s 11 in 2004. His 18.5-yard average ranked seventh in the NFL and was the third-best figure by a Titans/Oilers player in the last 20 seasons (Sanders, 23.5 in 1995; Justin Gage, 19.1 in 2008). In 2009, Britt had one of the best seasons in franchise history by a rookie wideout. He recorded a team-high 701 receiving yards on 42 catch-es, including three touchdown receptions. His yardage total ranked fifth in franchise rookie history and was the highest by a Titans rookie receiver since Sanders’ 823 yards in 1995. He tied for sixth in team annals in recep-tions by a rookie. Among the 2009 NFL rookie class, Britt was seventh in the NFL and third in the AFC in receptions, and he was fifth in the NFL and second in the AFC in receiving yards. The 6-3, 218-pound rookie came to the Titans by way of Rutgers Uni-versity, where in three seasons he set the all-time Big East record with 3,043 receiving yards. Britt caught 178 passes, including 17 for touch-downs, in 34 career games (31 starts).

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. ¾ Against Arizona (12/15), contributed three receptions for 29 yards.

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

Wide receiver Justin Hunter completed his first NFL season in 2013. He was the 34th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft after the Titans traded up in the second round to select the former University of Tennessee standout. As a rookie, Hunter played in 14 games. He totaled 18 receptions for 354 yards and four touch-downs. His four touchdown receptions tied (Kendall Wright in 2012, Tyrone Calico in 2003) for the most by a franchise rookie since Chris Sanders’ nine in 1995. The Titans were drawn to Hunter’s production on the field and his rare physical traits. He averaged 17.1 yards per reception and scored 18 touchdowns during his three seasons with the Volunteers. His speed (4.40-second 40-yard dash), leaping ability (39½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot-7-inch broad jump) and receiving radius (6-feet 4-inches tall, 78-inch wingspan) provide quarterbacks an inviting target that is difficult for defenders to cover. Hunter’s college statistics included 106 receptions for 1,812 yards in 28 games (17 starts). His receiving yardage total ranked 11th on the school’s career list, and his eight 100-yard receiving performances tied Tim McGee and Peerless Price for third all-time by a Volunteer and were topped only by Joey Kent (15) and Marcus Nash (11). His 18 touchdown catches ranked fifth on the school’s career charts. As a junior in 2012, the Virginia Beach, Va., native returned from an ACL injury he suffered the previous season and led the Volunteers with 73 recep-tions for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/Hunter_Justin_bio.pdf


¾ At Oakland (11/24), tied for the team lead with six receptions for a game-high 109 yards, earning his first career 100-yard game. Early in the third quarter, on a third-and-two play, he caught a pass from Ryan Fitzpat-rick, evaded two defenders, and then raced to the end zone for a 54-yard touchdown. He became the first Titans rookie to record a 100-yard receiv-ing game since Kenny Britt in 2009. He and Kendall Wright (103 yards) became the team’s first receiving duo to each record 100 yards receiving in a game since Dec. 19, 2004.

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

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

¾ Against Arizona (12/15), he was inactive.

#85 • WR NATE WASHINGTONCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Wide receiver Nate Washington completed his ninth NFL season and his fifth campaign with the Ti-tans in 2013. Washington recorded season totals of 58 catches (third on team) for 919 yards (second on team) and three touchdowns (fourth on team). His reception and yardage totals were the second-best of his nine-year career in each category. Since Washington arrived in Tennessee, no Titans player has had more total receptions (267), receiving yards (3,944) and receiving touchdowns (26) than him. The 6-1, 177-pound receiver also has been re-markably durable. He has recorded eight consecu-tive campaigns in which he played in all 16 games. In 2012, Washington accumulated 746 receiv-ing yards to lead the club for the second consecutive season. He ranked second on the squad with 46 receptions and tied for the team lead with four receiving touchdowns. Washington enjoyed the best season of his career in 2011, his third campaign with the Titans. He led the team and set new career highs with 74 receptions, 1,023 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He also recorded a rushing touchdown. With his first career 1,000-yard season, Washington became the first Titans player to reach the mark since Drew Bennett and Derrick Mason each exceeded 1,000 yards in 2004. Washington appeared in 49 games with seven starts during his four seasons in Pittsburgh, where he collected 104 receptions for 1,705 yards and 12 touchdowns. He led the Steelers in yards per catch in two of his last three seasons there. Originally signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent from Tiffin University in 2005, he enjoyed a breakout season in 2006 when he led the AFC with a 17.8-yard per reception average.

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

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

¾ At Houston (9/15), posted three receptions for 50 yards, including a 31-

yard catch during a 99-yard touchdown drive. ¾ Against San Diego (9/22), led the Titans and set a new career high with

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

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

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

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

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

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

yards, including a long of 42 yards in the fourth quarter. ¾ At Oakland (11/24), caught five passes for 45 yard, including a long of

16 yards. ¾ At Indianapolis (12/1), led the team with 81 receiving yards on five re-

ceptions. He became the 13th player in franchise history to reach 250 career receptions with the team. Late in the first quarter at Indianapolis, he caught a 31-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. The play gave Washington six games in 2013 with at least one reception of 30 yards or longer.

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

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

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

¾ Against Houston (12/29), caught a pair of passes for 39 total yards. In the first quarter, he recorded a 32-yard catch, his 10th reception of 20 or more yards in 2013. He passed Curtis Duncan (3,935) for ninth place on the team’s all-time receiving yards list.

On Nov. 25, 2012, wide receiver Nate Washington reached the 300 career reception mark. Washington spent his first NFL season as an undrafted free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005. He appeared in only one regular-season contest as a rookie and did not record a catch until the playoffs that season. Then, in 2006, Washington became a regular in Pittsburgh’s receiver rotation. Since that time, Washington’s receiving average ranks among many of the NFL’s top receivers who have 300 or more receptions.

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

In 2013, wide receiver Kendall Wright com-pleted his second season since being selected with the 20th overall pick in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He is the first player in franchise history to lead the team in receptions in each of his first two NFL campaigns, and his 158 catches in that span were the most in team annals for a player’s first two cam-paigns. During his second season, he led the team with 94 catches and 1,079 receiving yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. He ranked fifth in the AFC and seventh in the NFL in receptions. His 2013 reception total also ranked fifth in franchise history for a single season, behind only Charlie Hennigan’s 101 receptions in 1964, Haywood Jeffires’ 100 receptions in 1991, Derrick Mason’s 96 receptions in 2004 and Mason’s 95 catches in 2003. Wright’s 1,079 receiving yards were the most by a Titans player since 2004, when Drew Bennett (1,247) and Mason (1,168) each finished with more than 1,100 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 Jack-sonville 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 receiving 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.

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.

¾ At St. Louis (11/3), led the Titans with 69 receiving yards on three re-ceptions, including a career-long 45-yard catch in the fourth quarter.

On the final play of the first quarter, he converted a third-and-10 with a 31-yard reception. He finished the game with 65 receptions on the season, surpassing his 2012 rookie total of 64 catches. He and Justin Hunter (109 yards) became the team’s first receiving duo to each record 100 yards receiving in a game since Dec. 19, 2004. Additionally, Wright became only the fourth player since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to record 100 receiving yards in a game and provide a game-winning touch-down reception in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.

2013 NFL RECEIVING LEADERS

http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/Wright_Kendall_bio.pdf


Kendall Wright reached the 150-reception mark for his career against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 22, 2013, his 30th career game. In doing so, he tied Charlie Hennigan’s franchise mark for the fewest games needed to 150 receptions. Hennigan accomplished the feat in 1962, and since that time, the closest player to tying the mark was Webster Slaughter, who needed 35 games from 1992 to 1994 to get to 150 receptions in an Oilers uniform. Slaughter, unlike Hennigan and Wright, did not begin his career with the Titans/Oilers but joined the club after six seasons in Cleveland.

THE OFFENSIVE LINE The Titans had five different starting offensive line combinations in 2013. Three linemen started all 16 games: left tackle Michael Roos, left guard Andy Levitre and rookie right guard Chance Warmack. At center, Rob Turner began the season as the starter and played six games before rookie Brian Schwenke took over. Chris Spencer also started one game at center. David Stewart started 12 contests at right tackle while battling injury throughout the year. Mike Otto and Byron Stingily each garnered a pair of starts in relief of Stewart. The offensive line collectively helped pave the way for Chris John-son’s 1,077-yard season, which ranked third in the AFC and 11th in the NFL. The line gave up only 37 sacks, which tied for the ninth-fewest in the NFL. As soon as the 2013 NFL free agency period began in March, the Titans reached out to Levitre, a former Buffalo Bills standout, 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. Levitre started every game in his four seasons in Buffalo. The Titans later added Turner in free agency. After entering the NFL in 2007, Turner played in 57 total 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 Warmack, who was a three-year starter and a three-time na-tional champion at the University of Alabama. In the fourth round, they drafted Schwenke from California. Schwenke likewise was a three-year collegiate starter. For the third consecutive season, the Titans offensive line was coached by Bruce Matthews, who had a Hall of Fame playing career with the organization prior to launching his coaching career.

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

¾ Andy Levitre was signed as an unrestricted free agent from the Buf-falo Bills in 2013. He started all 16 games at left guard, bringing his consecutive starting streak to 80 games—every game since entering the NFL as a 2009 second-round selection (51st overall). The streak ranks third among all NFL guards. At Buffalo, he started all 64 games in four seasons. 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: 16/16 (2013), 80/80 (career)

Kendall Wright, the 20th overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, tied for first among NFL rookies with 64 receptions and ranked fifth among rook-ies with 626 receiving yards.

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, including 16 starts in 2013. At the conclusion of the 2013 campaign, Roos’ 143 games ranked fifth in franchise his-tory among offensive linemen, behind only Bruce Matthews (296), Brad Hopkins (194), Mike Munchak (159) and Benji Olson (152). Among other honors, Roos 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.

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: 9/9 (2013), 9/9 (career) ¾ Chris Spencer was signed by the Titans on April 5, 2013. In his first

Stingily’s GP/GS: 5/2 (2013), 10/4 (career) ¾ Rob Turner joined the Titans as an unrestricted free agent in March

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

tion in the 2013 NFL Draft from the University of Alabama. With starts in all 16 games at right guard, he became the first Titans rookie since Michael Roos in 2005 to start every game as a rookie offensive line-man.

Casey was named Associated Press second-team All-Pro after putting together one of the best seasons by a defensive tackle in franchise history. His 10.5 sacks set a career high and made up the second-highest total by a franchise defensive tackle since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, fin-ishing behind only Ray Childress’ 13 sacks in 1992. In 2013, only Jason Hatcher of the Dallas Cowboys (11) finished with more sacks than Casey among defensive tackles.

As a rookie, he started 15 games and led the team’s defensive linemen with 74 tackles. He added 2.5 sacks, nine quarterback pressures, five tackles for loss, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

#31 • S BERNARD POLLARDCLICK FOR COMPLETE BIO (PDF)

Safety Bernard Pollard completed his first season with the Titans and his eighth overall NFL campaign in 2013. Pollard had an immediate effect on the de-fense. Prior to the season, his teammates elected him as a defensive captain, and he responded by starting all 16 games and leading the team with a career-high 142 tackles. Since the 1990 campaign, the only Titans or Oilers safety with more tackles in a season than Pollard’s 142 was Michael Griffin, who posted 153 stops in 2010. Pollard also ranked second on the Titans in 2013 with three interceptions and also totaled two quarterback pressures, three tackles for loss, 12 passes defensed, a blocked field goal and a blocked extra point. Before arriving in Tennessee, Pollard spent two years with the Baltimore Ravens following stints with the Kansas City Chiefs (2006-08) and Houston Texans (2009-10). He has started 85 of his 105 career regular-season games and accumulated 576 tackles, nine sacks, nine interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. 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 safety 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, totaling 17 tackles, four passes defensed and a forced fumble. 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 and made an immediate impact, starting 13 games in 2011 en route to setting a career high with 13 passes defensed. The Ravens ranked second against the run and led the NFL in red-zone defense. A native of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Pollard spent three seasons at Purdue Uni-versity, where he played in 36 games (35 starts). He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors at the conclusion of his sophomore campaign.

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

Safety George Wilson completed his first sea-son with the Titans in 2013. He signed with the team as a free agent on Feb. 11, 2013 after spending most of the previous nine years with the Buffalo Bills. Wilson appeared in all 16 games with three starts for the Titans. He led the club with 19 special teams tackles and added 33 stops on defense, two tackles for loss, one interception and five passes de-fensed. With the Bills in 2012, Wilson started all 16 games for the first time in his career. He ranked second on the squad with 98 tackles and added five passes defensed. In 92 career games with the Bills, he contributed 362 tackles, 12 inter-ceptions, 22 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and four fumble recov-eries. Additionally, he totaled 57 career tackles on special teams. Wilson originally entered the NFL with the Detroit Lions in 2004 as an undrafted free agent wide receiver. He was waived by the Lions at the end of his rookie training camp and subsequently spent a month on their prac-tice squad. After being released by the Lions, the Bills signed him to their practice squad. After appearing in three contests on special teams in 2005, Wilson spent all but one week of the 2006 campaign on Buffalo’s practice squad. He was inactive once as a member of the 53-man roster. During the 2007 offseason, he transitioned from wide receiver to safe-ty. The move paid dividends, as he went on to play in 12 games with nine starts that season. He intercepted a pair of passes and scored twice—once on an interception and once on a fumble return. Elected as a team captain for each of his final five seasons in Buffalo, Wilson would go on to start 55 total games at safety while maintaining a leadership role on special teams. Additionally, he was honored with the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2009 and 2011. The 2011 season also saw Wilson record a career-high 104 tackles and tie his career high with four interceptions, a mark he initially reached in 2009. A native of Paducah, Ky., Wilson was a two-time all-state selection at wide receiver for Paducah Tilghman High School. He then went to the University of Arkansas, where he hauled in 144 passes for 2,151 yards and 16 touchdowns in 44 career games. He led the team in receiving during his junior and senior seasons with the Razorbacks.

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

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

¾ Against Arizona (12/15), tied for the team lead with 10 tackles, including a tackle for loss and a sack he split with Jurrell Casey.

¾ Against Houston (12/29), registered eight tackles and a pass defensed. He reached 16 starts in a season for the second time in his career.

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

Kicker Rob Bironas, the franchise’s second all-time leading scorer, has spent nine seasons in the NFL, all as a member of the Titans. In 2013, he made 25 field goals in 29 attempts and all 41 extra point attempts—a career high. His 86.2 percentage rate on field goals ranked eighth in team history and gave him six of the franchise’s top 10 seasons of all time. With 116 total points in 2013, he has a franchise-record seven consecutive seasons in triple-digit scoring. 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 2013 campaign, Bironas was the fourth-most accurate kicker in NFL history, connecting on 239 of 279 attempts (85.7 percent). From Bironas’ first season in 2005 through 2013, only one player, David Akers (247), made more field goals than Bironas. From long distance, Bironas’ accomplishments are also impressive. Among all players with 100 or more field goals from the 1970 AFL-NFL merger through 2013, Bironas was the third-most accurate from 40 yards or longer, making 75.2 percent of his attempts (94 or 125). 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’ 70.6 percent rate (24 of 34) ranked third. 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), and most consecutive PATs (285). Only Del Greco has ac-counted 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.

He placed 41.0 percent of his punts inside the 20 (32 of 78), a rate that ranked third in the NFL. Kern owns the top three net punting seasons in franchise history and four of the team’s top six net punting seasons. At the end of the 2013 campaign, Kern ranked as the franchise’s all-time career leader in both gross punting average (44.4 yards) and net punt-ing average (39.8).

Thirty of his 81 punts were placed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line (37.0 percent). Kern’s 2011 statistics included a career-high 86 punts for a gross av-erage of 43.6 yards. His net average of 39.4 yards set a then-career high and then-franchise record, narrowly beating out Craig Hentrich’s previous franchise record of 39.2 net yards per punt in 1998.

At the time, his punting average was the best in NFL history by a rookie. He was named to the All-Rookie team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA and The Sporting News. The Grand Island, N.Y., native was originally signed by the Broncos as a rookie free agent on April 28, 2008, following four seasons at the Univer-sitiy of Toledo.

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

Wide receiver/returner Marc Mariani (pro-nounced Mary-Annie) spent his second consecutive campaign on injured reserve in 2013, his fourth NFL season. 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.

In his eighth NFL season, the 5-foot-8, 192-pound returner averaged 13.0 yards on six punt returns and 30.1 yards on 16 kickoff returns in seven games with the Titans. From 2006 through 2009, he played for the New York Jets, followed by a three-year stint (2010–12) in Seattle. Early in the 2013 offseason, he signed with the New England Patriots but was released on Nov. 23 after injuries limited him to two games and one kickoff return for 19 yards. Washington’s eight career kickoff return touchdowns are tied with Josh Cribbs’ total for the most in NFL history. Prior to his arrival in Tennes-

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
