The Tennessee Titans have released a tribute video thanking three recently departed players who were instrumental to the team’s success over the years.
Those three players are Marcus Mariota, Jurrell Casey and Delanie Walker, all of whom the Titans parted ways with this offseason in one way or another.
Mariota went on to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders, Casey was traded to the Denver Broncos, and Walker was cut by the team last month and remains a free agent.
Here’s a look at the tribute video from the Titans featuring the trio.
Mariota was the Titans’ No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and helped pull the organization out of the dark ages. He was successful in taking Tennessee to the playoffs in 2017 and won a postseason game.
Casey was the longest tenured of the three after being drafted by the Titans in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. During his time in Nashville, Casey was an elite defensive lineman and a staple of the defense.
Walker was arguably the best free-agent signing in franchise history after he was brought in back in 2013. The former sixth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers emerged into one of the best tight ends in the NFL during his seven-year run with the Titans.
And what do all three of these men have in common?
They were all team-first players and class acts who represented the organization well during their respective times here.
