Titans LB Avery Williamson wants NFL to know his name

Williamson has been one of the bright spots during what’s been an otherwise disappointing season for the Titans.

Coming off the best game of his career against the Ravens he led the Titans and set a season high with 12 tackles while also recording two tackles for loss and two quarterback pressures Williamson feels like he belongs.

“I want every team to know that Avery Williamson is a legit linebacker that is my goal until the end of the season.

Titans fans got to know Williamson even sooner than most expected.

While he played in the team’s first two games, he didn’t begin to make a big impact until Week 3, when he had four tackles and a tackle for a loss against the Bengals.

According to the team’s statistics, Williamson has recorded at least nine tackles in five of the past six games, including back-to-back double digit efforts.

Nine games into the season, Williamson is third on the team with 61 stops, behind only veterans Wesley Woodyard (83) and Michael Griffin (66).

Williamson has led the Titans in tackles the past two weeks.

Williamson, who grew up a big Titans fan in Milan, Tenn., was a team captain at Kentucky, where he led the team in tackles his last two seasons.

And the guys respect me, too they see I am a hard worker and I feel like I have earned a couple of stripes to say what I feel,” Williamson said.
