Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Rashad Weaver has been one of the bigger surprises on the team through five games of the 2022 season.

Thrust into a bigger role upon the season-ending injury to outside linebacker Harold Landry, Weaver has responded in a big way, notching four sacks, which is tied for the team lead with defensive lineman Denico Autry.

Weaver failed to notch a sack in Week 5, did he did have one pressure and one QB hit, as well as a pass defensed in the victory over the Washington Commanders.

The second-year pro was also mic’d up for the contest. Check out the clip below.

Thanks to Weaver, Autry and Jeffery Simmons, the Titans’ pass-rush has still been formidable in the wake of Landry’s injury, and with outside linebacker Bud Dupree having missed multiple games.

And it’s a big reason why Tennessee’s defense has been able to mostly carry the team as the offense continues to struggle.
