It's so great to see two Titans make the Pro Bowl! Two offensive ball handling skill position players at that!
Superstar running back Derrick Henry was a super obvious and deserved selection! The man is amazing and is having a CAREER year. This is his second Pro Bowl selection.
in 2020, through fourteen played games, here is a bit of, if not Derrick Henry's entire, stat/info line:
- Leads the league in rushing yards with 1,679 yards
- Tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns with 15 touchdowns
- 5.2 yards per carry
- 1,793 yards from scrimmage
- An absolute terror on the field, exciting to watch
- Majorly helping the Titans to a 10-4 record
It's great to see such a hard worker like Derrick get some nice recognition!
The other Titan that's absolutely growing into superstardom and receiving his first Pro Bowl honors in just his second season, is beastly wide receiver A.J. Brown!
A.J. Brown's stats may be slightly JUST slightly under what someone may expect for a Pro Bowler. A.J. did miss some time with an injury. But his stats are still tremendous stats that many wide receiver would love to have for an entire season!
As a Titans fan, I fully realize and understand the positive effect this guy has on the Titans offense. To put it simply, this man brings the JUICE. He is a big play waiting to happen! The offense is much more of a threat with A.J. on the field. A.J. is very fast and clearly stronger than most defensive backs he faces on Sundays. His strength really stands out to me, and a lot of people. The Titans haven't had many good or GREAT wide receivers, this guy is a blessing for the Titans.
As a matter of fact, it's an incredibly rare and beautiful sight to see a Titans wide receiver make a Pro Bowl. I have no idea the last time that happened, it's been ages!
But what exactly has A.J. Brown done to deserve this Pro Bowl selection? Well in twelve games played A.J. has compiled these stats:
- 56 receptions
- 881 receiving yards
- 10 touchdown catches
- 15.7 yards per catch
- Superstar playmaking ability, especially with plays like this
When you combine A.J.'s stats, importance to the team, and just the way he jumps off the screen, it's clear why A.J. Brown deserved this accolade.
Notable Titans' Pro Bowl snubs include:
QB Ryan Tannehill, WR Corey Davis, DT DaQuan Jones, DT Jeffery Simmons
