Former Titans LT Taylor Lewan: ‘Everybody hated’ Mike Vrabel in his first year

Taylor Lewan says Mike Vrabel wasn’t exactly popular his first year, and Kevin Byard told a story of how Vrabel ripped into Lewan during a film session after the very first practice of OTAs.

It doesn’t take an insider to see that Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is demanding and can be tough on his players on a daily basis.

But on a recent episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan, Will Compton and Kevin Byard talked about how Vrabel actually used to be tougher in his first season in 2018.

“He sucked the first year,” Compton said.

“Everybody hated Vrabes the first year, you could say it,” Lewan added. “He was so rough around the edges.”

Byard then recalled how Vrabel would do “lowlights” after each practice and Lewan in particular got destroyed by the head coach after the very first OTAs session because the former Pro Bowl left tackle started to showboat a bit following one play.

“Murdered me,” Lewan said of Vrabel calling him out.

Byard indicated that was one of the first moments where he realized that nobody was safe from criticism under Vrabel, regardless of how much a player makes or what type of previous accomplishments they may have.

You can see the clip in its entirety below.

Watch: Titans’ Will Levis, Colton Dowell attend Ally 400 in Nashville

Two Titans rookies were in attendance at the Ally 400 on Sunday evening.

The Nashville Superspeedway played host to the Ally 400 this weekend and at least a pair of Tennessee Titans 2023 NFL draft picks were on hand.

The Titans rookies who took in the race on Sunday evening were second-round pick and quarterback, Will Levis, and seventh-round pick and wide receiver, Colton Dowell.

Levis and Dowell have some extra time on their hands for the next month, as the Titans are currently on break in between the offseason program and the beginning of training camp, which players will report for on July 25, head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed after practice recently.

This is just the latest example of Titans rookies getting together away from the building in order to help build their camaraderie — and the team provided some clips of the pair in attendance.

In one of the clips, Levis can be seen signing the finish line with the line, “if you ain’t first, you’re last,” which is a reference to the movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”.

Check out the clips below, which also feature Levis saying hello to former Titans, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. In case you missed the race and care to know, Ross Chastain was the winner.

Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, Jody Fortson name NBA stars who would make best tight ends in NFL

#Chiefs TEs Travis Kelce and Jody Fortson imagined a pair of NBA stars as NFL tight ends.

[anyclip pubname=”2103″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8036″]

The NFL’s social media team asked tight ends at the third annual Tight End University summit to name athletes from another sport who make the best tight end in the NFL. 

A pair of Kansas City Chiefs players, Travis Kelce and Jody Fortson, had an opportunity to provide their takes.

Fortson’s answer came up first, which was two-time NBA MVP and Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. At 7 feet and 249 pounds, he’d certainly fit the mold of an NFL tight end and would probably excel as a red zone target given his size.

Kelce’s answer echoed all of the rest.

“You’ve got to throw LeBron James in there,” Kelce said. “He fits the mold.”

Practically everyone went with LeBron James and it isn’t all that surprising. Heck, we even explored the idea of James coming to play for the Chiefs when he was an NBA free agent back in 2018. Back in the day, James said he could run a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at 6-8 and 250 pounds.

There was also a time when James was offered contracts to play in the NFL by Jerry Jones and Pete Carroll during the 161-day NBA lockout back in 2011.

What do you think, Chiefs Kingdom? Which athlete from another sport would make the best NFL tight end? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook and Twitter.

Practice, presser highlights from Titans’ final day of OTAs

The practice and presser highlights from the Titans’ final day of OTAs.

The Tennessee Titans are apparently closing out organized team activities a day early after the team revealed its last session would be on Wednesday. Tennessee was originally scheduled to go until June 15.

Whatever the case may be, there were a few important nuggets from the session, including the return of cornerback Kristian Fulton, who said his lack of participation during both the voluntary and mandatory portions of the offseason program were not injury-related.

He also noted that he plans on being a full go for training camp, which is next up on the Titans’ offseason schedule and coming in late July.

Along with Fulton, tight end Trevon Wesco was also present for the final practice of OTAs. Wesco had been sidelined for all of mandatory minicamp last week for reasons unknown.

The Titans did have lengthy list of players absent, but it’s important to remember some might not be taking part with the practice being voluntary.

Now, the highlights.

Watch: Titans CBs coach Chris Harris brings next-level energy in practice

Titans CBs coach Chris Harris was mic’d up at practice and gave us a look at the next-level energy he brings.

One of the more underrated additions to the Tennessee Titans’ coaching staff this offseason was the hiring of defensive pass game coordinator and cornerbacks coach, Chris Harris.

Harris has nearly two decades of NFL experience under his belt as both a player and coach. Because of that background, the Louisiana-Monroe product is not only able to identify where his players need help on the field, he’s also able to relate to them on a personal and professional level as well.

These things were rather obvious after the Titans posted a mic’d up clip the recently, which showed just how passionate the defensive coach can be on your average workday.

It’s clear that Harris knows how to get the best out of his players by being an energetic presence for his entire group to feed off of, while also showing that he’s able to adequately teach his guys when working with someone individually

In addition to being a fiery leader, it’s easy to understand why players gravitate towards him.

On top of being a former second-team All-Pro safety himself, the Arkansas native has had a lot of recent success when it comes to coaching up the backend of the defense.

Prior to arriving in Tennessee, Harris spent the last three years in Washington as the defensive backs coach for the Football Team/Commanders.

Under Harris’ guidance, Washington’s secondary was always formidable, ranking eighth in passing yards allowed (213.1 yards per game) and fourth in total yards allowed (323.4 yards per game) since the start of 2020.

Last season alone, the Commanders ended the year ranked in the top 10 in third-down defense (first), total defense (third), passing yards allowed (fourth), points allowed (eighth) and red-zone defense (ninth).

Harris certainly can’t take all of the credit for Washington’s success in the defensive backfield, but when the position group you coach ranks in the top four in two of the last three years, it’s certainly fair to credit said coach.

Let’s hope Harris can replicate that type of success in Tennessee as he takes over a secondary that ranked No. 32 overall in 2022.
