Chants from fans at Nissan Stadium will sound a bit different this season. Last year, for parts of the year at least, Titans fans echoed "Julio" throughout the stadium. For this season, you may hear plenty of "Bobby Trees" from the crowd of Titans fans. That's the nickname for the Titans' latest WR addition, Robert Woods.
At his introductory press conference with the Titans, he broke down where exactly he got the nickname.
He says it stems from his time with the Buffalo Bills at the start of his career, but it has grown since then. Woods thinks of it as a bit of an alter ego. He sees "Bobby Trees" as his intense mantra and mindset once the game has begun on the field. In a way, it is separate from his usual self or personality.
The nickname helps him to take his game to the next level. Once he's on the field, he is solely focused on dominating the opponent in every facet of the game. That shows up on the field, too. He is one of the best run-blocking receivers in the league and has never been afraid of contact. The Titans could desperately use that, and that is why his addition made so much sense. Woods actually challenges opposing players to press him at the line because he is confident he can win any and every matchup.
Get excited for Bobby Trees, Tennessee. There's no question the WR will be locked in for the Titans for the foreseeable future.
