One of, if not the greatest tight ends in Tennessee Titans franchise history officially announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Delanie Walker decided to hang up the cleats after 14 seasons in which he became arguably the best free-agent acquisition in Titans history.
Walker signed with the Titans prior to the 2013 season, and his impact on and off the field was undeniable throughout the course of his entire tenure (2013-2019).
During his time as a Titan, the Central Missouri product became a perennial Pro Bowler from 2015-2017, and even earned Pro Bowl MVP honors in his final all-star outing.
Walker finished his Titans career with 381 catches for 4,423 receiving yards and 29 total touchdowns.
The Titans held a press conference for the franchise great this afternoon in order to properly celebrate the culmination of a legendary seven-year career in the two-tone blue.
As you would expect, the day was filled with emotions and gratitude while also reflecting on a legendary career that could possibly lead to a spot in the Titans’ Ring of Honor someday.
Here are some highlights from his celebratory press conference:
