The Tennessee Titans released their latest depth chart ahead of their season opener against the Denver Broncos, and in the process revealed two players who will be changing their numbers before taking the field on Sunday.
The biggest name to be making a change will be starting inside linebacker Cedric Gray. The second-year linebacker is coming off a tremendous training camp that catapulted him into the lineup next to Cody Barton. He will be dropping the No. 51 and changing back to the No. 33 he wore during his college career at North Carolina.
Joining Gray in making a switch heading into the season opener will be rookie running back Kalel Mullings. Mullings, who went through training camp wearing No. 28, the number made famous by Chris Johnson, will now be donning No. 31 heading into the season.
Unlike Gray, who is returning to his college jersey number, Mullings has no collegiate connection to No. 31 and will be starting his NFL career blazing a trail in a new number, and in the process preserving the lore that Johnson created to live on.
