“That’s my first time ever playing in the playoffs, so I felt it was great for me,” McCreary said. “People always say the game speed is different from the regular season and it definitely is. I was excited just to play in that atmosphere, and I feel like having that experience can help you in a lot of ways knowing how the game develops and how people attack you when it comes down to the wire. I felt like it was great for me to experience that and I look forward experiencing that even more.<\/p>\n
“I want to be part of something that’s a winning culture and I feel like that’s the vibe here.”<\/p>\n
McCreary, 26, was drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft (No. 35 overall) by the Titans. He started all 17 games as a rookie playing both outside and nickel. He transitioned to mostly playing the slot in 2023 with 11 starts and then mostly a reserve role in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“That’s my first time ever playing in the playoffs, so I felt it was great for me,” McCreary…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,416,415,6,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-815863","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-homepage-centerpiece-package","10":"tag-news-twentyman","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-tennessee","13":"tag-tennessee-titans","14":"tag-tennesseetitans","15":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116240844137133811","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
