One year ago today, the NFL career of Ryan Tannehill was at a crossroads. After an up-and-down six-year tenure in Miami (including a disappointing 2018 campaign in which he missed five games), Tannehill was traded to the Tennessee Titans, where he would play out the final year of his contract—ostensibly as Marcus Mariota's backup.
We know what happened from there, of course. Partway through the 2019 season, Tannehill took over for Mariota and led the Titans to seven wins in 10 starts. Tannehill completed over 70 percent of his passes, led all qualifying signal-callers in passer rating, won Comeback Player of the Year honors and, most importantly, got the Titans into the postseason and then all the way to the AFC Championship Game.
