Brad Hopkins on the Move to Nashville, The Last Original Oiler & his 14 Sports Cars | Titans Uncut Ep. 7

Titans legend Brad Hopkins joins Delanie Walker and Rhett Bryan for Titans Uncut. The 13th pick of the 1993 draft — by way of the Herschel Walker trade — relives the Astrodome days protecting Warren Moon, the sideline punch he accidentally started, the franchise's move to Tennessee, the 1999 Super Bowl run, and the hardest transition of all: walking away. Then it's full car talk — 14 cars at once, selling Steve McNair five of them, dream rides and the rules of the left lane.

No guest this week — just real talk. Titans legend Delanie Walker opens up about what a locker room is actually like during a losing streak, the brutal honesty of Monday film sessions, how the 2014-15 Titans found their identity, and the "us versus everyone" message that helped flip the franchise. Then Delanie gives a tight end masterclass: what separates good from great, the player he hated blocking most, learning the position from Vernon Davis, remembering the great Mike Ditka, and building the perfect tight end in a lab.

Big number 60 pulls up a chair. Ben Jones joins Delanie and Rhett for a wide-open hour — the collarbone that popped out on every snap, why he played barefoot before games, calling out Houston's blitzes on Derrick Henry's record-breaking run, Nerf wars and o-line pranks, the snap he'd take back from the AFC Championship, losing his dad at ten and the toughest woman he knows, retiring on his own terms, and life now: 80 head of cattle, coaching kids, and mentoring the next generation of NFL linemen.

Two weeks ago Delanie named him the toughest matchup in practice — this week, Karl Klug pulls up a chair. The fifth-rounder from Iowa who was discovered at a speed camp, got his first college call from Gus Bradley, put up seven sacks as a rookie, and fought for his roster spot every single year. Plus working construction in 2026, the year he was sure he was getting cut, grading Delanie 1-to-10, Coach Watterson's kettlebells, a first look inside New Nissan Stadium's locker room, and a new round of Tell 'Em Unk.

Last week Delanie called him the most underrated Titan of his era — this week, Craig "Cat" Stevens joins the show. The soccer kid from San Pedro who tried out for football just to use the coach's phone, blocking for Chris Johnson's 2,000-yard season, the tight end room brotherhood, his brother's fight with ALS alongside Tim Shaw and CJ2K, remembering Mike Heimerdinger, the woodworking business, and the emotional story of walking away from the game at 31 — told by both men who lived it.

This week, the show turns to its host. Delanie Walker sits down with Rhett Bryan and tells his story like he never has before betting on himself to leave San Francisco, the Super Bowl performance that changed how the league saw him, the heartbreaking loss of his aunt and uncle that same night and his work with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, growing into a four-time Titans captain, and the first full telling of the night his leg broke in the longest game in NFL history. New episodes of Titans Uncut every week on the Titans Podcast Network.

Delanie Walker launches Titans Uncut with the perfect first guests — his former teammates Will Compton and Taylor Lewan of Bussin' With The Boys. The guys get into their wild recruiting stories, Lewan's dad refusing to let him quit football, why opposing coaches called Delanie the best tight end in the league, the case for 82 in the Ring of Honor, and the true origin story of the bus that started it all.
