The Tennessee Titans didn’t achieve a 12-5 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs on pure luck. Mike Vrabel’s club had a number of players step up in a big way this past season, including our honorable mention here in safety Kevin Byard.
The 28-year-old experienced a bounceback season after being a non-factor for the most part in 2020. Byard accumulated 88 combined tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, two defensive touchdowns and five interceptions, tied for fourth-most in the National Football League.
For his efforts, Byard was recognized as a First-Team All-Pro, while also earning his second Pro Bowl honor.
