From the episode

The only thing I want to say in the Titans, Tony Pollard looked like he had juice again. There was a moment where I was watching Pollard. Yeah. And I was like, is that the guy that we used to joke was the best player in the NFL? Looked like he was back.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Pollard looked explosive and back to form in the preseason opener.

Tony Pollard looked like he had juice again during the preseason opener, showing the form that previously led to jokes about him being the best player in the NFL. He and Tajay Spears both looked good, and the Titans' offense scored on their first drive.
