Legendary coach Duane Akina heaps praise on Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro

Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro has been one of the team’s best performers on the defensive side of ball this season. Vaccaro was a big addition to the team in August following the season-ending injury to Johnathan Cyprien.

Before Vaccaro was a top 15 pick in the 2013 NFL draft, he honed his craft at the University of Texas where he was coached by legendary defensive backs coach Duane Akina.

In part one of our two-part interview with coach Akina, he spoke about Vaccaro’s development over his four years in Austin, why Vaccaro seems to getting better with each passing year and a whole lot more.
