NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Great teachers find ways to make lessons more exciting and inviting for their students.
In the past, Tennessee Titans inside linebackers coach Tyrone McKenzie had organized outings like go-kart racing. When the Titans were in Dallas in Week 9 last year, he led an impromptu walk to the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination as a way to bring his players together off the field.
This year, McKenzie turned to a paintball trip during OTAs to drive home his point. McKenzie believes in building a family atmosphere -- that players will push each other when they're close like brothers.
