Tennessee Titans franchise legend Delanie Walker officially retired from the NFL on Tuesday afternoon after a 14-year career that included three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances.
The Titans held a celebratory press conference yesterday to honor the culmination of a fantastic career in Tennessee, and as you would imagine, the outpouring of respect came flooding in from fans, former teammates, coaches, and colleagues.
Shortly after, the team’s social media account went on to release a special video for the Titans great, which included personalized messages from several familiar faces.
Among those who appeared in the video:
- Marcus Mariota
- Vernon Davis
- Derrick Henry
- Jurrell Casey
- Wesley Woodyard
- Taylor Lewan
- Arthur Smith
- Craig Stevens
- Jonnu Smith
- Kevin Byard
- Brian Orakpo
- Ben Jones
Practically everyone on this list mentions the type of impact Walker made on the field.
However, another common theme that stands out throughout these messages is how the Central Missouri product was universally considered to be one of, if not the greatest teammate that a lot of these guys have ever had, and off the field as well.
