After seeing photos of a young Monty Rice donning a Tennessee Titans jersey and posing outside of Nissan Stadium, it’s clear the Georgia product and inside linebacker playing for the team was always meant to be.
Rice, who hails from Huntsville, Alabama, and was a Titans fan growing up, was a third-round pick of Tennessee at No. 92 overall after the team traded back with the Green Bay Packers on Day 2.
To prove his longstanding love for the Titans, Rice took to social media to share old photos of himself rocking the team’s jersey and attending a game. Check it out (H/T Titans on Twitter):
While this is awesome to see, now the hard work begins for Rice actually sticking around with the Titans for the long haul.
He figures to be a rotational piece at best in 2021 with a trio of talented inside linebackers ahead of him in Jayon Brown, Rashaan Evans and David Long, but he’ll have his opportunity to start in the years to come with the futures of Brown and Evans uncertain at best beyond this coming season.
