4 Titans make Touchdown Wire’s ‘101 best players’ list

The Tennessee Titans are loaded on the offensive side of the ball going into 2021, and just in case you needed a reminder of that, we direct you to Touchdown Wire’s “101 best players” list.

Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield compiled their annual rankings, and in them they have four members of the Titans’ offense, including one who landed in the top five.

Here’s a look at who made the cut and where they ranked.

65. WR Julio Jones

49. WR A.J. Brown

26. QB Ryan Tannehill

4. RB Derrick Henry

We never thought we’d see the day where Tannehill is respected enough to be at No. 26 on a top 101 players list, but here we are. The recognition is well-deserved; well done, Touchdown Wire.

Ahead of the release of this list, Farrar and Schofield ranked the top 10 or so players at every position, and Jones (No. 7), Brown (No. 6), Tannehill (No. 10) and Henry (No. 1) all made the cut at their respective positions.

Two players who were ranked on Touchdown Wire’s positional lists but didn’t make the cut in the top 101 is left guard Rodger Saffold (No. 11 among guards) and center Ben Jones (No. 6 among centers).

The most notable snubs from Tennessee were no doubt left tackle Taylor Lewan and safety Kevin Byard. Defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons was also excluded from these lists, although his omission isn’t as glaring.

Regardless, when you put it all together it’s easy to see why we’ve been saying the Titans’ offense has all-time great potential, and the roster as a whole has enough talent for Tennessee to make a deep run in 2021.
