Ryan Tannehill
What a year it was for Tannehill. He revived his career from the depths of despair in Tennessee. When he was traded for Ryan Fitzpatrick, no one believed that Tannehill would do what he did to bring the Titans on a run to the AFC Championship game, but that’s exactly what he did.
The former Aggie replaced Marcus Mariota in Week 6 after Mariota struggled to do anything with the Titans’ offense. Tannehill went 7-3 in his starts, throwing 2,742 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions on his way to a deep playoff run.
While Tannehill did perform well last season, a majority of the Titans’ success came on the shoulders of rushing leader Derrick Henry. Tannehill, like Bridgewater, wasn’t asked to do too much, but he succeeded when he was on the field and limited the turnovers. Who knows if Tannehill can catch lightning in a bottle again, but it would probably be wise to bet against it.
