Some of the newest members of the Tennessee Titans met with the media through a virtual session on Wednesday, and as one would expect it was full of surprises.
One of those who took part in the event was new defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, who opened up on reuniting with head coach Robert Saleh, his role in the defense, and even playing next to Jeffery Simmons.
“Coach Saleh is one of the best coaches I’ve had, he’s a leader of men. He knows how to relate to players.” Franklin-Myers said, “He never puts anybody in a box.

Eyeballs yearn for him even when he is not part of the Indian team. Last week, when videos of Pant practising in Mumbai and Chennai surfaced, he hogged the feed on social media, barely days after India became the first team to defend the T20 World Cup title.
This could be a defining year for Pant, starting with the IPL. He hasn’t been a definite part of India’s white-ball team since winning the T20 World Cup in June 2024.
