How do you explain going from zero interceptions in your rookie season to eight in your sophomore season?
Who knows, but that’s the story of Kevin Byard, the superstar free safety for the Titans entering his third season in the pros. Byard’s eight interceptions are the most from any defensive back in a sophomore year since Antonio Cromartie put up 10 back in 2007. That’s great company to be in, because like Byard last year, Cromartie was a first team All Pro at his position.
Make no mistake, Byard had a phenomenal 2017, one that established him as the premiere player on Tennessee’s secondary.
