The Tennessee Titans bolstered their secondary by signing veteran safety Xavier Woods, a player with eight years of experience in the NFL. After a challenging season in 2024 marred by injuries to their defensive backfield, Woods is seen as a stabilizing force. He brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership, having played for teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. Woods emphasized the importance of teamwork and learning from younger players like Jarvis Brownlee and Amani Hooker in the Titans' defensive backroom. His motto, 'Make a play a day,' reflects his determined approach to earning respect and maximizing opportunities on the field.
Woods, a sixth-round draft pick in 2017, knows the value of hard work and seizing opportunities. He has made 111 starts with impressive statistics, including over 600 tackles and 13 interceptions. As the Titans aim for consistency and improved performance in the upcoming season, Woods' veteran presence is crucial to transitioning the team into a more competitive identity.
