The Tennessee Titans honored their former outside linebacker Brian Orakpo during the Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers, but there was one problem: they spelled his name wrong.
Orakpo was the Titans’ “Legend of the Game” and the franchise took time out on Sunday to give him his props. However, when they flashed a shot of him on the big screen in the stadium, there was a spelling error in his last name.
Instead of the correct spelling of “Orakpo”, the Titans flipped the the “K” and “P”, making it “Orapko”, which obviously isn’t a great look for the franchise.
Check out the mistake below.
Quite the tribute to @rak98 with that spelling and all. #Titans. pic.twitter.com/47szj0j1h6

Orakpo spent four years with the Titans from 2015 through 2018, finishing with 169 tackles and 26 sacks over 61 games in Nashville. He was also voted to one Pro Bowl in 2016.
Before that, he spent six years with Washington, the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft.
