The best tape to come from the Tennessee Titans preseason game on Saturday night came at halftime. It came from nine-year-old Ozzie Smith, who made quite the play during a flag football game held as part of the halftime entertainment.
And Titans head coach Brian Callahan might want a look at the halftime film in case he needs another defensive back.
The Titans were bottom third in the NFL last year with a -6 turnover differential. Smith? Well, the Titans might have found the solution to that at halftime of Saturday’s preseason game.
(The Titans beat the Seattle Seahawks 16-15 on Saturday and allowed just nine passing first downs…but didn’t create any turnovers…enter Smith).
Now, this is a pretty good highlight. Smith does a good job of dropping back into coverage, reaching up and making the interception.

Then, at nine years old, he shows good composure to take off down the field and makes one good move to break free.
From there, it is speed and a touchdown celebration. Quite a nice play from the ‘Wizard of Nashville.’
