ESPN doesn't view Tennessee Titans as a top 10 team over next 3 years
The Tennessee Titans have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL over the last several years. Tennessee hasn't had a losing season since 2015 when the franchise went 3-13 and fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt midway through the season.

The Tennessee Titans have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL over the last several years.
Tennessee hasn't had a losing season since 2015 when the franchise went 3-13 and fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt midway through the season.
The Titans went 9-7 the following four seasons, before breaking through in 2020 with 11 wins. Those 11 wins led to an AFC South division title for the Titans.
It would be safe to say that Tennessee, thanks to the leadership of general manager Jon Robinson, is set to be a force in the AFC for years to come.
ESPN, however, doesn't agree with that sentiment.

On Monday, ESPN revealed their NFL future power rankings. These rankings measure which teams will be the most successful over the next three years.
ESPN rankings were compiled via a panel of experts (Jeremy Fowler, Louis Riddick, Seth Walder, and Field Yates). Those experts rated each team's quarterback situation, remaining (non-QB) roster, drafting ability, and front office. They used a 0-100 scale and then averaged the ratings to come up with their rankings.
Unsurprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs had the highest score at 88.5.
The Titans came in at No.14 in ESPN's rankings with an overall score of 78.2.
Here's how ESPN's experts rated Tennessee in each category.
| CATEGORY | SCORE | NFL RANK |
|---|---|---|
Overall roster (minus QB) | 79.0 | 16 |
Quarterback | 79.3 | 11 |
Coaching | 77.8 | 15 |
Draft | 75.8 | 17 |
Front office | 78.3 | 13 |
ESPN had the Indianapolis Colts at No. 9, the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 21, and the Houston Texans at No. 32.
Essentially, ESPN sees more 9-7 type seasons in store for the Titans.
It's not a surprise to see the national media's view of the Titans hasn't changed much. At this point, it's expected.
