Titans News: Ryan Tannehill Gives Warm Welcome to Julio Jones

You can't blame Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill if he's a bit excited about the 2021 NFL season. After all, he just received a five-time Pro Bowler to pass the ball to in the form of wideout Julio Jones. Now, the 32-year-old signal-caller has wasted no time making his new wide receiver feel a part of the team.

Tannehill gave Jones a warm welcome to the team by uploading a video to Twitter of the duo connecting at the Titans' minicamp.

After Corey Davis left for the New York Jets this offseason, many wondered who Tannehill could target aside from A.J. Brown. Now with Jones in the fold, it'll be interesting to see how much damage the 2019 Pro Bowler can do with his improved pass-catching duo.

The 2020 NFL season was Brown's sophomore year and he followed up an exciting rookie campaign by recording 1,075 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.

On the other hand, Jones' season was marred by injuries that held him to just nine games played. Still, he ended the year with 771 receiving yards and 3 TDs, showing that he can still be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL when healthy. Considering how Tannehill continues to get better with age (3,819 passing yards and 33 TDs in 2020), both Brown and Jones could see their numbers boosted next season.

Since acquiring Jones, the Titans are tied with the Indianapolis Colts as the favorites to win the AFC South at +110, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Meanwhile, Tennessee's Super Bowl odds currently sit at +2800 (T-12th).
