In the books of many, the Tennessee Titans pulled off perhaps the biggest steal of offseason. Trading in Julio Jones from the Atlanta Falcons for just a 2022 second-round pick, the Titans offense is now stacked with premier talent.

Apart from Jones, the side has wide receiver AJ Brown who just made his first Pro Bowl appearance last season and the running machine Derrick Henry. And to feed them all the franchise has 2019 AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year, quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
