There is no doubt that the Tennessee Titans struggled in 2024. At 3-14, they fired their general manager and are headed into rebuild mode with Mike Borgonzi steering the ship.
Offensively, it was a battle each week. Uneven quarterback play coupled with a porous offensive line never allowed the offense to truly get into a rhythm. If Tennessee did have a bright spot on offense, it was the rushing attack, which was productive when called upon.
Both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears had their moments, with Pollard proving to be a solid free-agent investment. Unfortunately, the game plan did not accommodate this part of the attack and it would inexplicably disappear throughout the season.
Pollard was extremely productive considering he battled a nagging ankle injury for most of 2024. He notched his third consecutive 1,000-yard season.
In 2024, Pollard had 260 carries for 1,079 yards and five touchdowns and added 41 receptions for 238 yards. His performance was also noticed by former All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew in his final running back rankings for 2024.
Largely overlooked while operating in a subpar offense with a revolving door at quarterback, Pollard quietly put up three 100-yard performances on the way to his third straight 1,000-yard season. He was the most consistent part of Brian Callahan’s attack this season, and with improved QB play in 2025, Pollard could easily build on his first season in Tennessee.
Pollard may never reach the status of Derrick Henry in Tennessee, but the veteran back can definitely make an impact moving forward. If the Titans can improve play calling, fine-tune the offensive line, and solidify the quarterback position, there is no doubt that if Pollard remains healthy, he can be the engine that makes their offense go.
