Titans RB Spears Outshines League's Best
2 Feb
Summary
- Spears tied Bijan Robinson for most missed tackles after a catch.
- Spears achieved this feat on significantly fewer receptions than Robinson.
- He also surpassed Jahmyr Gibbs and Christian McCaffery in this metric.
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears is poised to take on a more significant role in the upcoming season. Despite playing behind Tony Pollard for much of the 2025-26 season, Spears demonstrated his playmaking ability. He tied Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons for the most missed tackles forced after a catch, a remarkable feat accomplished on only 45 receptions compared to Robinson's 79.
Furthermore, Spears' performance in this metric surpassed that of other top backs like Jahmyr Gibbs and Christian McCaffery, who had more opportunities. With new head coach Robert Saleh set to implement changes and potential veteran cuts, including Pollard, Spears is well-positioned for an expanded role. His developing play and improved health entering his fourth season make him a strong candidate to become the Titans' go-to back.
