Jelly Roll, fresh off his WWE Wrestlemania appearance, visited with the Tennessee Titans recently to deliver a heartfelt message.
The country music star, a native of Nashville, talked about the brotherhood that comes from being on the road touring, something he related to being with an NFL franchise.
“I learned early that’s where the magic was,” Jelly Roll said. “Yeah. That’s where the magic was. See, what was happening on that road between me and the boys started translating to the stage. And all that connection we were looking for on that stage that we could never find because we were only trying to find it in that hour.
“We thought we were gonna connect in the 60-90 minutes, and we were going to change the world every night at every little local bar across the world. And then we learned, it was in the 23 hours we wasn’t on the stage that we were building our connection.”
He kept the Titans focused on the day-to-day of training camp.
“Man, these 10 days are an opportunity, y’all.”
The long-time Titans fan was all about J.C. Latham, a former Alabama star, looking like a beast as well as Cam Ward’s work ethic.
“I started going, ‘There’s a culture being built here!’” he said. “I feel it. Man, double down on that culture these next 10 days. This is a chance, y’all are stuck with each other.”
