After taking a look at the Tennessee Titans’ top Pro Football Focus grades from the preseason Week 3 contest against the Chicago Bears, we have a better understanding of which players shined in the exhibition finale.
On offense, it was left tackle Taylor Lewan who earned the highest grade (92.0), which was also the highest grade of any player on the team. This was Lewan’s first live game action since tearing his ACL in 2020.
Following Lewan was wide receiver Cameron Batson (89.5), quarterback Logan Woodside (81.8), running back Javian Hawkins (79.5) and guard/center Cole Banwart (77.1).
Woodside’s PFF grade was over 40 points higher than his backup competition, Matt Barkley (39.0). Woodside also fared better against pressure, posting a 78.6 grade to Barkley’s 38.1 mark.
Nose tackle Teair Tart (80.9) posted the highest grade on defense. Second to fifth was outside linebacker Ola Adeniyi (78.6), cornerback Kristian Fulton (76.9), defensive end Denico Autry (75.3) and safety Kevin Byard (72.7).
