Jayon Brown

The Titans’ inside linebacker has been a revelation since being taken in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Brown has emerged as one of the better players at his position in the NFL, and he’s an elite coverage linebacker.

He’s also a tackle machine, as Brown has finished second and third on the team in tackles the last two seasons, respectively. What makes that even more impressive is that Brown wasn’t a full-time starter in 2018 and he missed two games in 2019 due to injury.

Brown should be priority No. 1 for the Titans to extend this offseason or else the team could be faced with an expensive bidding war for his services in 2021.
