Titans players afraid to impersonate Mike Vrabel: ‘Hell no’

The Tennessee Titans found a unique way to celebrate the birthday of their head coach, Mike Vrabel, which was on Aug. 14.

It’s no secret that Vrabel is known to carry himself as a true alpha who doesn’t take crap from anybody.

Even former players such as Taylor Lewan and Will Compton frequently joke around on their podcast, “Bussin’ with the Boys“, about how they still get nervous around Vrabel, even though they aren’t on the team anymore.

Vrabel’s intimidating presence led to a funny video on Monday afternoon, as players and staff were asked to do an impersonation of their head coach for his birthday.

Titans general manager Ran Carthon hilariously stated that, “nobody’s touching that” as he walked by the camera, and nearly every player took the safe road, opting to ignore the request and/or simply wish him a happy birthday.

Only Mason Kinsey, Kearis Jackson, Derrick Henry, Teair Tart, and Jeffery Simmons took advantage of the opportunity to make fun of their head coach. While Henry, Tart and Simmons are of course safe, Kinsey’s and Jackson’s road to make the roster probably just got harder.

You can find the video in its entirety posted below by the Titans’ official X account.
