The Facts: Walker had the best season statistically by a Tennessee Titans tight end ever in 2014. It was one of the few bright spots for a franchise that bottomed out with a 2-14 record that included losing 10 games in a row to complete the season. But Walker was barely a blip on the radar when the league's top tight ends were talked about. He understands exactly why that is. “Last year, I felt like I did more and no one cared. I broke records and scored touchdowns and no one cared. We've got to win more as a team,” Walker said. “I think even if I have a good year and we don't have a good year as a team, who cares, right? But if we win together, then the individual guys get the accolades they deserve.”
Diehards Line:
Walker's numbers – 63 receptions for a tight end franchise-record 890 yards and four touchdowns – might not have been Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski-like, but they put him squarely in the same company as second-tier guys like Julius Thomas and Coby Fleener. And with a rookie QB taking over in Marcus Mariota, Walker is capable of serving as the kind of security blanket a young signal call needs. Don't overlook him come draft day.
