Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Teair Tart didn’t have the best finish to his day on Thursday after being ejected from practice, but he did have at least one incredibly impressive rep beforehand.
Tart got into a scuffle with Vikings offensive lineman Garrett Bradbury after the lineman wrestled him to the ground after one play. Tart reacted by throwing a punch, which got him ejected from the session.
However, don’t let that overshadow this rep from Tart, who tosses Bradbury like a rag doll and then lets him know about it.
The video was shared by defensive line and pass-rush coach, Aaron Day (@dlinevids1 on X), who had two angles of the impressive rep.

A major point of emphasis for Tart, who is already a very good run defender, has been improving as a pass-rusher, something defensive line and assistant head coach Terrell Williams spoke about earlier this offseason.
“[Tart] started to take those steps (to becoming a better pass-rusher) towards the middle of last season,” Williams said in May, per Easton Freeze of Broadway Sports Media.
“You’ve got three types of players: you’ve got a player who’s great at playing the run, you’ve got a player who’s great in the pass-rush, and then you’ve got players that are great at both. And his job now is to become great at both. I would put him up against anybody in the run game, now it’s just getting better from a pass-rush standpoint.”
Based on this clip, I’d say things are going swimmingly in that area — pun intended.
