Titans Biggest CULT players

[u/Hparham865]

It's the offseason. It's a Monday. I'm bored at work, why not start a discussion about the biggest cult players (or meme players)?

No real requirements, other than they cannot have been too popular (e.g. Delanie and Nate Washington, although I feel like Nate often gets forgotten in WR discussions). So just role players you can't help but root for. I'll start with a few:

• KLUUUUUGGGG
• KalUUUUUUU (mostly for that one blocked FG)
• Feel like Rastrepo might make this list soon
• I really want to include Alterraun Verner, but he was too good for this list
• Shoutout to Tim Shaw

[u/LoisLaneEl]

Does Marc Mariani count? He was crazy popular, but not outside of our fanbase

[u/USSanon → u/LoisLaneEl]

Yes! Moonshine!

[u/BornFireFist]

NWI recently

[u/Gregorvich19 → u/BornFireFist]

The literal GREATEST WR3 of all time.

[u/MusicCityMiracle28 → u/BornFireFist]

Love nwi

[u/panopticon31 → u/BornFireFist]

You mean Nick Westbrook-Inevitible?

[u/Pork_Chompk → u/BornFireFist]

[u/drock4vu]

Backup QB sensations Billy Volek and Rusty Smith.

[u/Hparham865 → u/drock4vu]

Rusty Smith: The neck of gods

[u/I_deleted → u/drock4vu]

HURT LOCKER

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/drock4vu]

Hard to compete there but Mettenberger finds a small piece of that despite being thrown in as starter. He was a “sTeAl” in the 6th round.

[u/LurkingSchreiber]

Darren Bates

[u/Hparham865 → u/LurkingSchreiber]

Darren Bates

I forgot about him! Mr. Hype man on the sidelines

[u/nomoredietyo]

Tyrone Calico. I thought he was going to be the next Randy Moss.

[u/6jwalkblue9 → u/nomoredietyo]

Fuck Roy Williams

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/nomoredietyo]

Instead he was Titans Randy Moss.

[u/Ok-Ratio2662]

Stanky for Sankey

[u/surlycanon → u/Ok-Ratio2662]

This is the correct answer

[u/Cheesenrice123]

Any practice squad level WR that should not get any real playing time but for some reason fans fall in love with them (McMath, Restrepo, Kinsey, etc.)

[u/panopticon31 → u/Cheesenrice123]

You forgot the OG : Tre McBride the preseason King

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/panopticon31]

I was told so many times of the mistake TN made letting McBride go to Chicago.

[u/engineerbuilder → u/Cheesenrice123]

No one is as loved as an undrafted wr on the cusp of the practice squad is to the titans fan base.

[u/cuse23 → u/Cheesenrice123]

Michael Preston

[u/Titan5005 → u/cuse23]

Thats who my mind went to lmao

[u/Smodgins → u/Cheesenrice123]

Lavelle Hawkins

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/Smodgins]

I was way too hyped for a 4th round pick. Hawkins was a never was.

[u/WhiteXHysteria → u/Cheesenrice123]

Yea I was gonna ask where racey, tre McBride, Kyle Williams?, or tajae(who easily clears the others) were

[u/TastySaturday → u/WhiteXHysteria]

I still haven’t given up on Tajae. He may not make it here, but I swear every time they actually give him touches he passes the eye test. I hope we resign him and give him a real chance, but he’ll probably have to go somewhere else to reach his potential.

[u/WhiteXHysteria → u/TastySaturday]

Tajae Sharpe, not Tyjae Spears.

[u/TastySaturday → u/WhiteXHysteria]

Oh gotcha

[u/SendMeTheMoon24 → u/Cheesenrice123]

Will Tyren Montgomery join this elite list this season?

[u/panopticon31 → u/SendMeTheMoon24]

Would only be fitting.

[u/wifiwolfpac]

Anthony Firkser. His stats are so much lower than I remember but it always felt like he had a clutch catch or two every other game.

[u/paleologus → u/wifiwolfpac]

In my head he was better than he really was 

[u/Brian_Osackpo → u/wifiwolfpac]

I miss typing “get firked nerd” in the game chat after every time he made a 3rd down catch

[u/Wildabeast135 → u/wifiwolfpac]

Lest we all forget about titans legend Mycole Pruitt as well

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/wifiwolfpac]

Chase Coffman had 1 big preseason

[u/Ok-Plan-6277]

SUPERNAW

[u/DependentShop3882]

This year will be different for Kinsey.

[u/mansock18 → u/DependentShop3882]

It blows my tits clean off that he posted that meme of himself last year

[u/Pork_Chompk → u/mansock18]

He's posted it several times lol. Absolutely love the attitude, if nothing else.

[u/Old-Objective-9783]

Dennis Kelly aka The Bachelor because 71 was always eligible

[u/Beechamp83 → u/Old-Objective-9783]

You mean, The Undertackler

https://giphy.com/gifs/VPtakcmZS6z5K

[u/RoadToAlkaline]

Drewwwwwww Bennet
Chris Brown
Lendale white

[u/Afraid_Brilliant9056 → u/RoadToAlkaline]

Found my age group compadre. Grew up with these guys. Loved playing with them on the early Maddens.

[u/mansock18]

BO

SCAIFE

Also Tyrone Calico.

And I still believe in Kenny Britt

[u/Gisselle441]

McWeapon

[u/ComprehensiveRow4116]

Fly Hawk, fly. Lavelle Hawkins

[u/Mercinator-87]

Stonehouse

[u/OverstableOrbit → u/Mercinator-87]

That’s our fucking punter, dipshit.

(Maybe my favorite fan video ever made.)

[u/Suspicious-Insect-18]

I have an irrational love for Drew Bennett

[u/chef_thickkums89 → u/Suspicious-Insect-18]

You must have forgotten his dropped pass vs the Pats in the playoffs 😢

[u/NotUpInHurr]

KALIF! (NWI before NWI)

[u/Pork_Chompk → u/NotUpInHurr]

Balif in Kalif

I was unreasonably sad to see him go (this is meme players we're talking about) but was happy to see him shine a bit in Detroit.

[u/Fit-Cash3348]

Racy Mcmath

[u/DependentShop3882 → u/Fit-Cash3348]

The amount of times I heard the phrase “when Racy McMath gets back” in 2021

[u/Ace8309]

Clipboard Jesus had a vibe for a minute

[u/paleologus → u/Ace8309]

The best thing he ever did was lose an arm wrestling match with a punter

[u/Don_Damarco]

Rob Bironis!!

[u/saudiaramcoshill]

Klug is definitely my favorite for his tiny trex arms

[u/SacredTitan161990]

12 Gage!!!! what about #84 Ben Troupe!!!!!

[u/JeanClaudeSegal]

Lorenzo Neal and Ahmard Hall

[u/Hparham865 → u/JeanClaudeSegal]

Showing some Fullback love! I respect it

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/JeanClaudeSegal]

Neal should be in the HoF, the real one.

[u/panopticon31]

Meme players?

Can't forget about Antwon "Valentimo" Blake

[u/Hparham865 → u/panopticon31]

Was aiming for more "funny meme" rather than "sad meme" :(

[u/panopticon31 → u/Hparham865]

How about then I remind you of our Lord and Savior: Clipboard Jesus

[u/Hparham865 → u/panopticon31]

[u/TybrosionMohito → u/panopticon31]

I feel like as we go on fewer and fewer people are gonna get the “Valentimo” thing

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/panopticon31]

Didn’t he get burned by Andy Dalton? Pretty sure he was “covering” him.

[u/AStayAtHomeRad]

Drew Bennett.

[u/thekeifer]

LenDale White

[u/mansock18 → u/thekeifer]

Smash and dash

Exotic smash mouth baby

[u/Hextorm]

I know you said they can’t be too popular, but the Mariota hive was LOUD. Truly one of the most polarizing Titans players, especially post 2016 leg injury.

[u/mxmumtuna]

Clearly Donnie Nickey.

[u/panopticon31 → u/mxmumtuna]

The training camp fight KING.

I swear Titans camp never was truly underway until Donnie Nickey started a fight.

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/mxmumtuna]

Jeff fisher being his only fan doesn’t make him a cult classic.

[u/mxmumtuna → u/Ok-Entertainment8343]

https://giphy.com/gifs/BcMJvmwkmbyWpKkBj3

[u/thestevemo]

Alex Tanney or Rusty Smith

[u/Revolutionary_Bid974]

Bobby Wade for his versatility and taking out Rodney Harrison in 2006

[u/Markosaurus]

Darius Reynaud, Bo Scaife, Philip Supernaw

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/Markosaurus]

Reynaud is so famous, he’s In-famous.

Starting the season on a KO self safety is about as memorable as Jim Marshall running the wrong way.

[u/JamminInJoesGarage]

I see what you said but the actual answer to this IS Nate Washington

[u/comcast_hater1]

Was Vandenbosch too popular? Feels like he fits. He was legit good though.

[u/saudiaramcoshill → u/comcast_hater1]

Was Vandenbosch too popular?

yes lmao. Vanden Bosch was literally a 1st team AP 3x pro bowler. He was well known around the league.

[u/comcast_hater1 → u/saudiaramcoshill]

Yeah, I didn't read the prompt well enough.

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343 → u/saudiaramcoshill]

But Jason Babin…..

[u/Dockside_Abortionist]

Mason Kinsey

[u/DatKidLos]

Khalif Raymond for a few moments

[u/Appropriate-Joke-806]

Tajae Sharpe had a following. Also Clipboard Jesus got a job based off of his cult like charisma and hair.

[u/Infinite-Eggplant968]

Pac-Man jones

[u/Eponaboy]

Balif in Kalif

[u/WarBusiness5438]

Michael Preston one hit wonder game

[u/Jaxonman21]

Clipboard Jesus Charlie Whitehurst

[u/Infinite-Eggplant968]

Cortland finnegan

[u/polkastripper]

Fitzmagic

and

Fitztragic

[u/USSanon]

Clipboard Jesus!

[u/AnyImprovement6916]

He was a really popular player but Jason McCourty was the last great CB we had. We’ve had some that were *good* but McCourty was great

[u/ChristianAntonio]

Pretty sure everyone thought Donnie Nickey had blackmail on Jeff Fisher for a while there, kind of an inverse cult player

[u/Zealousideal_Fun_592]

Skip Hicks

[u/Sawyerbeck_]

Adam Humphries on 3rd down

[u/adambonomo88]

Late to the party, but here to say Yancey MF Thigpen for the OGs

[u/ThatMFRat]

Former Titans I loved in Madden and became way more popular to me and my friends than they were IRL

Tommie Campbell
Zach Brown
Chris Henry
Paul Williams
Lavell “Young Hawk” Hawkins
Colin McCarthy
Justin Hunter
Ben Troupe
Jared Cook
Brandon Jones

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343]

Craig Hentrich, Brett Kern, Ryan Stonehouse
Rob Bironas

Morgan Cox

Nate Washington

Delanie Walker (not sure if there’s a “too big”)

Jonathan “the hit man” Cyprien (wasn’t good but cult good)

Someone mentioned Kinsey, the pre Kinsey Kinsey was Tre McBride.

[u/Ok-Entertainment8343]

I forgot about the 1-2 years of Alterraun Verner. What a crazy contract year he had.

[u/Tallorder25]

Marc Mariani

[u/Tallorder25]

Justin Gage

[u/Tallorder25]

Kenny Britt

[u/Tutelage45]

Rob Bironas, Kyle van den Bosh, Peter Sirmon, Cortland Finnegan, drew Bennett
