In a heartfelt and unforgettable moment for Tennessee Titans fans, the franchise has officially unveiled a stunning bronze statue of former left tackle Taylor Lewan outside Nissan Stadium. The statue honors the three-time Pro Bowler’s incredible nine-year career with the Titans and cements his legacy as one of the most iconic and influential players in team history.
The unveiling ceremony, held outside the stadium entrance, drew a large and enthusiastic crowd that included Lewan’s family, former teammates, coaching staff, Titans executives, and countless fans. The energy in the air was electric as Taylor Lewan himself took the stage, visibly emotional and overwhelmed by the honor.
“This is absolutely surreal,” Lewan said, holding back tears. “From the moment I was drafted here, Nashville has been my home. This city embraced me, flaws and all, and I gave everything I had back to it. To be remembered like this, in front of the fans I love so much, is beyond anything I ever imagined.”
Lewan was selected by the Titans with the 11th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the offensive line. With his trademark toughness, athleticism, and intensity, Lewan earned Pro Bowl selections in 2016, 2017, and 2018. He became a vocal leader in the locker room and a fearless protector of his quarterbacks, earning the respect of teammates and opponents alike.
The statue, which depicts Lewan in an emotional post-game roar with his helmet raised in one hand, symbolizes the fire and passion he brought to every snap. Crafted in lifelike detail, the monument is now permanently placed near the main gates of Nissan Stadium, where it will greet fans entering the stadium for generations to come.
Team owner Amy Adams Strunk addressed the crowd with high praise for the former lineman: “Taylor Lewan’s energy, leadership, and love for the game were contagious. He helped lead us through one of the most exciting stretches in franchise history and brought character and charisma to the Tennessee Titans. This statue is not just for Taylor—it’s for every fan who loved watching him play.”
Lewan’s impact went beyond the field. Through his popular podcast Bussin’ With The Boys, his advocacy for mental health, and his genuine connection with the Nashville community, he became one of the most beloved athletes in the city. His personality, humor, and raw honesty made him relatable to fans across the league.
Social media quickly lit up with fans, former teammates, and NFL players expressing their congratulations and sharing memories of Lewan’s career. Many agreed the tribute was well-deserved and long overdue.
With this statue, the Titans ensure that Taylor Lewan’s legacy as a fearless leader, fan favorite, and franchise icon will live on. His name and likeness now stand permanently outside the stadium he once dominated—an enduring symbol of Titans pride.
