Watch: Titans players name their biggest pet peeves

The Tennessee Titans’ social media team has been doing a fantastic job over the last few months.

The most memorable work came on schedule release day when the team went to Broadway Street to ask non-football fans to name the opposing teams on the Titans’ schedule based on their logos, which ended up being hilarious.

However, some of the more underrated work the social media team has done as of late has been its ability to find creative ways to allow the fans to see the personalities of the players and coaches more than we’re used to.

Whether that’s asking players to simply say something nice about each other, give their opinions regarding pineapple on pizza, or anything in between, these simple questions have allowed the fans to pull back the curtain a bit to see who these guys really are outside of the football field.

The most recent clip posted by the Titans asked the player to name their biggest pet peeve. Naturally, some of the answers were amusing.

Jeffery Simmons used this as an opportunity to take a shot at defensive line and assistant head coach Terrell Williams’ breath, Mike Brown made it clear he doesn’t want a dog anywhere near his bed, and for some reason, Treylon Burks hates ketchup eaters.

Meanwhile, it was Andre Dillard who arguably had the best take, stating that anyone who eats loudly needs to reevaluate their life.

Others who gave respectable answers were Matthew Jackson, Chig Okonkwo, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary, and Tre Avery.

Colton Dowell ended the video by making fun of this trend, saying his pet peeve was having to answer the questions the social media team puts on whiteboards and expecting him to give good answers.

Obviously, Dowell is just joking around, but these videos do a good job of allowing the team to temporarily take a moment to get their mind off the grind that they’re undoubtedly going through this time of year.
