With the 2021 NFL season set to begin in less than a week, the Tennessee Titans have narrowed their roster to 53 players.

I figure that there's no better, or more efficient, way to get to know the final roster than evaluating each player with a three-word description.

So, that's what I did below.

NOTE: For the purpose of this exercise, four key starters who are technically on the Titans' Reserve/COVID-19 list and not the active roster are included. OL David Quessenberry was "cut" to keep the list at 53.

Quarterback

  • Ryan Tannehill: the downfield assassin
  • Logan Woodside: safe, but unexplosive

Running Back

  • Derrick Henry: running toward Canton
  • Khari Blasingame: reliable, versatile fullback
  • Mekhi Sargent: bowling ball rookie

Wide Receiver

  • Julio Jones: an all-time great
  • A.J. Brown: RB playing receiver
  • Josh Reynolds: Is he healthy?
  • Chester Rogers: smooth and fast
  • Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: big and versatile
  • Cameron Batson: Coaches love him.

Tight End

  • Anthony Firkser: a third-down machine
  • Tommy Hudson: improved during camp

Offensive Line

  • Taylor Lewan: no help needed
  • Rodger Saffold: athletic, violent mauler
  • Ben Jones: manages protection calls
  • Nate Davis: getting paid soon
  • Ty Sambrailo: probably a starter
  • Dillon Radunz: rough Training Camp
  • Kendall Lamm: moonlight standup comedian
  • Aaron Brewer: reliable center depth
  • Corey Levin: back, back again

Outside Linebacker

  • Bud Dupree: He destroys quarterbacks.
  • Harold Landry: production needs improvement
  • Rashad Weaver: rookie with potential
  • Ola Adeniyi: explosive and versatile
  • Derick Roberson: Do something, please.

Inside Linebacker

  • Rashaan Evans: needs to rebound
  • Jayon Brown: playing for $$$
  • David Long Jr.: perhaps too aggressive
  • Monty Rice: small but feisty
  • Nick Dzubnar: a special-teams ace

Cornerback

  • Jackrabbit Jenkins: not named Janoris
  • Kristian Fulton: breakout season incoming?
  • Elijah Molden: smart, instinctive, explosive
  • Caleb Farley: still behind, developmentally
  • Chris Jackson: quality slot depth
  • Breon Borders: Borders. Are. Closed.
  • Chris Jones: Who is that?

Safety

  • Kevin Byard: rebound season incoming
  • Amani Hooker: Pro-Bowl potential, perhaps
  • Matthias Farley: trusted veteran depth
  • Bradley McDougald: great preseason performances
  • Dane Cruikshank: rarely not hurt
  • Brady Breeze: work to do

Specialist

  • P Brett Kern: uncharacteristically bad preseason
