Thunderbirds Pilot 🤝 Tennessee Titans: The Inspiration Behind the Week 5 W

Alontae Taylor has played football at every level — high school, college and the NFL — without ever leaving the state of Tennessee.
This is the Alontae Taylor story: growing up in poverty in Manchester, Tennessee, becoming a Friday night legend at Coffee County Central High School, starring as a cornerback for the Tennessee Volunteers, getting drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and finally coming home to play for the Tennessee Titans. Told by his family, his coaches, his teachers and the community that raised him, this Titans of Tennessee documentary follows the cornerback's full-circle journey — from a two-bedroom duplex in Coffee County to the biggest stage in football. "Football saved my life... I never allowed anyone to tell me I couldn't do it."
