So, who really is the best WR in Tennessee Titans history? FrontOffice33 | TitanUp
Brown was referring to a shocking draft-day trade that unexpectedly sent him from the Titans to the Eagles following a contract dispute, one that has made Brown an unforeseen villain in Nashville. Brown’s claim ignited quite the debate amongst the Titans fan base.
Brown was explosive in Tennessee, but three seasons remains far too small of a sample size to be regarded as the franchise’s all-time great. Across those campaigns, Brown accounted for 185 receptions, 2,995 receiving yards, and 24 touchdowns. He routinely made explosive plays in the passing game throughout one of the more successful eras of Titans football in recent memory .
Mason holds several franchise records. His 5,086 combined kickoff and punt return yards rank first all-time. His 2,690 all-purpose yards in 2000 rank first all-time in a single season, which is especially impressive given the Titans have fielded several single-season 2,000-yard rushers. Brown departs the Titans as the team’s 19th all-time receptions leader, 16th all-time receiving yards leader, and 12th all-time receiving touchdowns leader. It all combines to represent both an impressive and sad situation. Brown’s ability to climb up the franchise’s all-time leaderboard in just three seasons showcases both his immediate success and Tennessee’s lack to draft and develop dominant No. 1 receivers.
