NASHVILLE — Logan Ryan has a daughter. Kevin Byard has one on the way.

That’s left both members of the Titans’ secondary even more susceptible to the inspiring efforts of Toni Harris and what she’s doing for women in football.

So much so that they were compelled to act.

Ryan, a cornerback, and Byard, a safety, paid a portion of the funeral costs for Harris’ mother, who passed away last week.

Harris, 22, is the first female to receive a full college scholarship for football as a non-specialist.
