He was named the 2019 Comeback Player of the Year.
The Titans beat the New England Patriots and No. 1-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs before bowing out to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship. Originally the eighth pick of the 2012 draft by the Miami Dolphins, Tannehill was traded to Tennessee along with a sixth-round pick in exchange for a fourth and a seventh.

The Titans placed the franchise tag on Derrick Henry on Monday.
Henry was a big reason for Tannehill’s success due to his ability to throw the deep ball. The Titans’ strategy was simple, pound Henry into the ground and capitalize via the long ball in the play-action game.
