Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Tennessee Titans. 

An original team in the American Football League, the Tennessee Titans, began their existence as the Houston Oilers.  

The Oilers were the first power of the league, winning the first two Championships and losing the third title game.  As the AFL merged with the NFL, the Oilers had flashes of greatness but were unable to make the Super Bowl.

The team would relocate to Nashville in 1997 and be rebranded the Tennessee Titans.  Though they have yet to win a Super Bowl, they did make one, losing SB XXXIV to the St. Louis Rams. 

Our Top 50 lists in football look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2020 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Bruce Matthews

2. Warren Moon

3. Mike Munchak

4. Earl Campbell

5. Robert Brazile

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always, we thank you for your support.

From the University of Nevada, Joel Bitonio made an impression as a Lobo, securing a Second Round Selection from Cleveland in the 2014 Draft.

Bitonio won the starting job at Left Guard, earning an All-Rookie Selection, but a litany of injuries held him to 15 Games in 2015 and 2016.  Healthier in 2017, Bitonio established himself as a Lineman on the rise, and he elevated his game the following year, and is on a six-year streak of Pro Bowls, of which saw the Linemen earn fove All-Pro Selections, including two First Team All-Pros.

Going into 2024, the Browns are an enigma, but Bitonio is a welcoming stability of greatness on a confusing team.

Out of East Carolina, Earnest Byner made the Cleveland Browns as a Tenth Round Pick, showing dual skills as a rusher and receiver throughout his career.  

Byner cracked 1,000 Rushing Yards as s sophomore (1,005), and though that was his best rushing year, he was still productive, not just statistically but also as a blocker.  Byner helped Cleveland reach the AFC Championship Game in 1987, but it would be a tragic event for him.

Byner will, however, remain synonymous with that the game, as he was stripped of the ball at the Denver 8-yard line with a minute left to go and the Browns down by seven.  "The Fumble" haunts Browns fans to this day.  

Byner played another season for Cleveland before he was traded to Washington, but he did come back in 1994.  He played four more seasons, the first two with the Browns and the next two in Baltimore when the franchise relocated.

As a Brown, Byner had 5,994 Yards From Scrimmage with 37 Touchdowns.  He was also welcomed back in 2006 as one of their Legends.
