The Titans picked him up, and he appeared in eight games, while starting four, recording six catches for 80 yards.Jones was traded to the Titans from the Atlanta Falcons prior to the 2021 season, and recorded 31 catches for 434 yards, and a touchdown in 10 games.All three wideouts recorded multiple 1,000-yard seasons and made numerous Pro Bowls before playing with Tennessee,DeAndre Hopkins could follow their path or break the mold if he has another productive season, which he certainly has the capability to do.
