The Tennessee Titans are a young football team. I know it doesn’t feel like it at times, especially with so many second contract guys.

I was curious how young this team was, so I went in and looked at all the starters who were 28 or younger.

QB: Marcus Mariota 23

RB: DeMarco Murray 28, Derrick Henry 22

WR: Rishard Matthews 27, Tajae Sharpe 21

LT: Taylor Lewan 25

LG: Quinton Spain 25

C: Ben Jones 27

RG: Josh Kline 27

RT: Jack Conklin 22

DL: Jurrell Casey 27, Austin Johnson 22, DaQuan Jones 24

EDGE: Derrick Morgan 27, Kevin Dodd 24

ILB: Avery Williamson 24

CB: Kalan Reed 22, LeShaun Sims 23

Safety: Kevin Byard 23, Daimion Stafford 25

That is 20 different starters or heavily rotated players that the Tennessee Titans have on their team that is at or younger than 29. DeMarco Murray is the only starter that is 29.
