Ryan Tannehill began his first six NFL seasons in Miami, and when the Tennessee Titans traded for him in 2019, there was not much buzz around him in the Volunteer State. He started the year as Marcus Mariota’s backup, and took over during their week 6 contest in the second half. Tannehill would take over as their starting Quarterback, and completed the year so strong that he led the NFL in Passer Rating (117.5), Yards per Completion (13.6) and Yards per Attempt (9.6). Thanks to Tannehill, the titans made it to the AFC Conference Final, falling to the eventual Super Bowl Champion, Kansas City. He was also named to the Pro Bowl, the first time he secured such an accolade, while also winning the Comeback Player of the Year.
Tannehill proved that 2019 was not a fluke, winning 11 Games in 2020 and returning to the playoffs. He threw for 3,819 Yards and a career-high 33 Touchdowns, and topped the league in Fourth Quarter Documentaries (5) and Game Winning Drives (6). After a decent 2021 and another post-season appearance (3,734 Yards/21 TD), Tannehill dealt with injuries and a sub-par performance, throwing for only 13 Touchdowns and 2,536 Yards.
Tannehill would lose his starting job during the 2023 season after an injury, and he threw for 1,616 Yards and 4 Touchdowns. Tennessee did not resign the QB and he overall compiled 14,447 Passing Yards with a 93-40 TD-INT ratio.
