The Tennessee Titans made some significant changes over the offseason and will look completely different when training camp kicks off in less than two weeks.
Although there will be a lot of new faces, one position that remains virtually untouched is running back, where Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears appear poised to lead the ground attack. Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus (PFF) recently broke down all 32 lead running backs in the league, and see Pollard land in the middle of the pack.

While his numbers were down in 2025, his performance down the stretch was a driving force in the improved offensive production. Now, with a real playcaller in charge, there is a chance he could surprise
