STACKED’s take
Pollard is one of two backs with 1,000+ rushing yards in four straight seasons.
Pollard is identified as an underrated veteran hidden gem on the Titans roster. He is one of only two NFL running backs with at least 1,000 rushing yards in each of the last four seasons (the other being Derrick Henry). Last season, he ran 242 times for 1,082 yards, five touchdowns, 39 forced missed tackles, and 10 runs of 15 or more yards. Head coach Robert Saleh praised his professionalism and deliberate approach: 'He's an unbelievable pro. Does everything the right way, brings a lot of juice and energy, he's a positive individual. I feel like he's in here all the time, working on his body, doing the things he needs to do to get himself ready, and then his practice habits are second to none and how deliberate he is. And I'm not just talking about live reps, but if you guys get a chance to watch a walkthrough today, I mean every single step he takes is deliberate in terms of the pad level, the hand placement, the eyes to make sure that he's executing at a high level and those are the reasons why he's so successful.' The source notes that despite the Titans' 3-14 record, Pollard should be the clear leader in Brian Daboll's backfield ahead of Tyjae Spears and rookie Nicholas Singleton.
