Tennessee Titans lose and win first pick in 2025 NFL draft

The Titans have the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft

This might not make a lot of the top college prospects excited about the 2025 NFL draft.

The Tennessee Titans lost to the Houston Texans on Sunday. That combined with the New England Patriots win over the Buffalo Bills — yes, the Patriots beat the Bills’ reserves – put the Titans in the No. 1 spot for the 2025 NFL draft.

They have the same record as the Cleveland Browns at 3-14 but everything else falls the way of the Titans when it comes to strength of schedule so Tennessee will be on the clock first in Green Bay.

Congratulations to the Titans and not sure what to say to Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders and other top prospects.

The Browns sit second and the Giants third.

Per NFL.com

The last time the Titans held the first pick was back in 2016. They ended up trading it to the Rams — who selected Jared Goff — in a major swap of draft selections, one of which ended up being spent on Derrick Henry.

The Titans have not picked first overall since the franchise moved to Tennessee, although their predecessors, the Houston Oilers, selected DE John Matuszak (1973) and RB Earl Campbell (1978) in the top overall slot. The highest the Titans have picked was second overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, when they selected QB Marcus Mariota.

Titans’ 330-pound T’Vondre Sweat delivers superb stiff-arm on fumble return

Quite the stiff-arm from Tennessee delensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat

Well, at least the Tennessee Titans can put this on a loop for their highlight reel of the 2024 season.

T’Vrondre Sweat is all of 330 pounds. That didn’t matter when he turned into a running back after grabbing a Bengals fumble on Sunday.

Check out the stiff-arm Sweat delivers as he rumbles on the play/

Chig Okonkwo puts Titans up on Texans with 70-yard TD reception

The Titans were proving to a menace to the homestanding Texans

The Houston Texans were having quite the scrap with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The leaders in the AFC South were down 30-27 in the fourth quarter after Chig Okonkwo took a pass from Will Levis and went 70 yards to the end zone.

It was the second TD pass of the game for Levis, who was 18-of-21 for that point in the fourth quarter. He did, of course, throw a pick-six, too.

A 98-yard TD pass for the Tennessee Titans against the Vikings

The Tennessee Titans were in a 16-3 hole against the Minnesota Vikings. They were at their two-yard-line.

Will Levis boosted his game stats on Sunday with a 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

The play cut the deficit to six points.

It equaled the longest pass play in Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans history.

In 1962, Willard Dewveall caught the (then) longest pass reception for a touchdown in professional football history, 98 yards, from Jacky Lee, against the San Diego Chargers. It is still the longest receiving touchdown in Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans franchise history.

The defense didn’t rise after the big play, allowing the Vikings a touchdown that made it a 23-10 game.

Controversial call negates Titans scoop and score against Chargers

A replay review nullified a Titans scoop-and-score

It looked like Justin Herbert’s arm was hit and he fumbled. At least that was the call on the field Sunday as the Los Angeles Chargers played the Tennessee Titans.

The ball was recovered by Roger McCreary that would have given the Titans a lead w ith a successful PAT.

However, all scoring plays are reviewed in the final two minutes of the half and fourth quarter.

The decision came down saying it was an incomplete pass.

Will Will Levis play this week? Injury update for Tennessee Titans’ QB

Will Levis’ status for Sunday’s game at Buffalo has been determined

The  Tennessee Titans play the Buffalo Bills in Week Seven of the NFL season. A key question for the AFC South team as it visits the AFC East leaders is who will start at quarterback, Will Levis or Mason Rudolph?

Will Levis injury update

News finally popped on Saturday that Levis will be unable to go for the Titans against the Bills. He has an injured shoulder and that will be enough to keep him out of the starting role.

How long has Will Levis been out?

Levis has started all five games for the Titans in 2024. Rudolph replaced him Sept. 30 against the Dolphins, Tennessee’s lone win.

Tennessee Titans’ quarterback depth chart

Mason Rudolph appears as No. 1 on the Titans’ depth chart. Levis is listed as second with journeyman Trevor Siemian third.  However, Levis will be inactive with Siemian as the backup to Rudolph.

Mr. Roll also provided an inspiring speech for the AFC South team.

Hellman’s Mayonnaise partners with Titans QB Will Levis on fragrance

Will Levis partners for a unique condiment

Talk about taking advantage of a love of a condiment. Hellman’s Mayonnaise has partnered with Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis on a perfume.

Yes, we are talking about Parfum de Mayonnaise, Will Levis No. 8

The fragrance sold out on the first day. It will be restocked every day for the next week and a half “so everyone has a chance to exude an aura of greatness.”

Fragrance notes:

Tart Lemon: The fragrance opens with a bright, zesty burst of tart lemon that provides a refreshing and clean introduction.

Mayonnaise Accord: At the heart of the fragrance lies a daring mayonnaise accord. The creamy and slightly tangy note adds an unexpected twist, mirroring Will Levis’s bold personality. The mayonnaise accord provides a rich, smooth texture to the fragrance, making it intriguingly complex and memorable.

Parsley: Complementing the mayonnaise, a whisper of parsley adds a fresh, herbal element to the scent’s heart. The green, aromatic quality of the herb enhances the fragrance with a natural, earthy tone, reminiscent of a well-prepared dish.

Coffee Undertones: This fragrance would not be complete without subtle coffee undertones reminiscent of Will’s signature mayonnaise-infused brew. The coffee note brings a robust, slightly bitter edge filled with depth and warmth. It adds a comforting, familiar touch, grounding the fragrance in a sense of reliability and strength.

Musk: A sensual musk base weaves through the composition, providing a soft, lingering allure. This classic note evokes the physicality of an athlete, leaving a lasting impression that is both powerful and sophisticated.

Creamy Vanilla: The fragrance is rounded out with creamy vanilla, adding a sweet comforting finish. This note balances the tartness of the lemon and the creaminess of the mayonnaise, creating a harmonious blend that is both inviting and intriguing.

 

Tennessee Titans sign safety Jamal Adams

#Titans sign safety Jamal Adams:

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran safety Jamal Adams.

The team has confirmed the addition, and per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is for one year, although financial terms were not disclosed:

A former first-round pick (No. 6 overall) of the New York Jets, Adams spent three years there before being traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He spent the past four seasons in Seattle before signing with the Titans.

Adams, 28, has four interceptions in his career and 21.5 career sacks. However, Adams has not had a pick since 2021 and has not recorded a sack since 2020.

Tennessee Titans’ most underrated player: CB Roger McCreary

The Titans overhauled their secondary this offseason, but they’re holding on to underrated cornerback Roger McCreary.

Last season, the Titans didn’t play a lot of press coverage, and their defense suffered for it. General manager Ran Carthon is a big believer in press, so this offseason, Carthon did everything he could to reverse the negative trends. He traded for Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (probably the NFL’s best press cornerback right now) and then gave Sneed a new four-year, $76.4 million contract with $55 million guaranteed. The Titans also signed former Cowboys and Bengals cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who has always been better in press coverage than not.

One thing Carthon didn’t want to alter was Roger McCready’s position as his primary slot defender. The 2022 second-round pick out of Auburn was outstanding last season not only in slot coverage overall, but specifically in slot press when he was able. Playing press out of the slot is especially tough, because the boundary isn’t there as an extra defender, and you have to match where the receiver goes, with more options for the receiver to use.

McCreary was aligned in press on a team-high 138 of his 946 snaps last season — you can expect that number to double in 2024. When in press, he allowed eight catches on 15 targets for 5.3 yards per reception, one explosive play, no touchdowns, no interceptions, and a slew of receivers who were surprised at how well McCreary was able to turn against his team’s formerly passive preferences for positive results.
