In our latest installment of training camp previews for the Tennessee Titans ahead of training camp, which begins on July 27, we’re taking a closer look at the safety position.
Tennessee enjoyed great success from their starting safeties in 2021, as Kevin Byard returned to his elite form after a shaky 2020 campaign, and Amani Hooker made a big leap in his first full season as a starter.
But not only did the pair play well, they were among the best safety duos in the NFL in 2021, as evidenced by their earning two of the top-five overall Pro Football Focus grades at the position in 2021.
Recently, Byard was ranked as the No. 1 coverage free safety by PFF, and Hooker the No. 6 all-around safety. Also, NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks gave Tennessee’s duo the label of the second-best safety tandem in the league.
While Tennessee is set at the top of the depth chart, the team still has some things to figure out behind Byard and Hooker. We take a closer look at that and more in our training camp preview for the safeties.
