Last weekend’s NFL draft represented a major shake up in the future of Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Not only did the franchise draft his potential successor in Malik Willis out of Liberty, but the team also dealt his top target of the last few years.
During Thursday’s first round, the Titans sent wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles for the No. 18 pick and an additional third-round pick. Tennessee used the newly-acquired first-rounder to draft a replacement in Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks.
Tannehill gave a particularly honest press conference on Tuesday, in which he opened up about the “deep scar” that last season’s playoff loss to the Bengals left, as well as his role—or lack thereof—in Willis’s development.
