Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Tennessee Titans.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Titans had a losing record of 6-11 and are in rebuild mode.  There were only two elevations and no new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Bruce Matthews
2. Warren Moon
3. Mike Munchak
4. Earl Campbell
5. Robert Brazil

You can find the entire list here.

Running Back Derrick Henry, whose run with Tennessee ended last season, moved up to #9 from #14.

Of note, Kevin Byard, who was traded to Philadelphia during the season, remained at #28.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is currently a free agent only moved up one spot to #48.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Kevin Byard is one of the most prolific defensive stars from Middle Tennessee State where the All-Conference USA star was a Third Round Pick in the 2016 Draft.

In his rookie season, Byard would win a starting job at Safety, but if there was an award for Sophomore of the Year, Byard could have staked a claim for it.  Byard was a co-leader in Interceptions (6) while going to the Pro Bowl and securing First Team honors that year, and although he did not come close to to that production from 2018 to 2020 in traditional and advanced metrics, he was still a solid starter in the NFL.  

Byard returned to Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro form in 2021, which coincided with his move from Free Safety to Strong Safety.  He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles at the 2023 trade deadline, and the Defensive Back left Tennessee with 27 Interceptions.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #125, 2022: Pre-Season Rank #135.  Peak Period: 2017-21

A two-time First Team All-Pro as a Tennessee Titan, Kevin Byard seems to have an average or spectacular season.  He begins 2024 with the Chicago Bears, with Byard having a lot of work to do to make a serious Hall of Fame case.
