Before trading for Julio Jones on Sunday, the Tennessee Titans were set to rely a bit too heavily on WR A.J. Brown in the passing game.

Now, Brown won’t have as much pressure on his shoulders and QB Ryan Tannehill will have an easier time spreading the ball around, something the Pro Bowl QB thinks is important.

"The more balanced we can be, and the more opportunities we can create elsewhere, the more it's going to help us create a balanced attack," Tannehill said.

While Brown, age 23, is a rising star who already has a Pro Bowl under his belt, it was going to be difficult for him to carry the Titans’ entire passing game.

With only veteran Josh Reynolds and a crew of practice-squad caliber players to complement Brown at wide receiver, defenses facing the Titans would have been able to key in on Brown with double coverage very easily.

But with Jones in the fold, teams won’t have the same luxury.

Jones, a five-time All-Pro with nearly 13,000 career receiving yards, will prevent defenses from giving Brown extra attention.

Instead of being able to utilize bracket coverage with Brown and taking their chances with the likes of Reynolds and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, defenses facing the Titans will now be forced to single cover both Brown and Jones.

Putting too much focus on one would result in too little focus being put on the other.

Additionally, focusing too heavily on the Titans’ top-notch receivers would leave a defense incredibly vulnerable to the Titans’ top-notch running back, Derrick Henry.

The Titans now have something they didn’t before trading for Jones on Sunday morning: variety.

It won't be a one-man show in the passing game for Tennessee in 2021.
