The Tennessee Titans have revealed which five turnovers they feel were the best of the bunch during the 2021 season.
In all, the Titans forced 22 takeaways, so there were a good amount to choose from. Safety Kevin Byard led Tennessee in that department after notching five interceptions and recovering one fumble. He turned two of his six takeaways into touchdowns, also.
Unsurprisingly, both of Byard’s defensive touchdowns (one fumble recovery versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a pick-six against the Los Angeles Rams) made the list.
Joining him on the list was fellow safety Amani Hooker, who notched a diving interception against the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round.
Cornerback Elijah Molden’s pick-six off Carson Wentz and the Indianapolis Colts, and linebacker Rashaan Evans’ diving interception against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs also made the cut.
Of the four players who had plays in the top five, three of them are under contract for 2022. Evans is the only one who is not.
