Ryan Tannehill

A Pro-Bowl NFL Quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, Ryan Tannehill is a testament to the hard work and resilience necessary to overcome adversity in route to extraordinary professional triumphs. Following an exceptional high school career in Big Spring, TX, Tannehill committed to Texas A&M. Tannehill’s collegiate career began in earnest as a record-setting wide receiver in 2008, before ultimately making the switch back to his natural position of quarterback in 2010. He shattered the program single-game passing record in his first start at quarterback and concluded his Texas A&M career with a resounding 5,450 passing yards and 42 touchdown passes.

In the 2012 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Tannehill with the 8^th overall pick, becoming the first quarterback selected by the Dolphins in the first round since Dan Marino in 1983. In his rookie season, Tannehill set franchise rookie records for passing yards, attempts, and completions. Following seven years in Miami, Ryan was traded to the Tennessee Titans prior to the 2020 season. During his first season in Tennessee, Ryan took over at the helm after six games and reinvigorated the Titans franchise, leading the team to a 7-3 record and a wild card berth in the 2019-20 NFL playoffs. Tannehill ultimately led the Titans to the AFC Championship after impressive victories over defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and the top seeded Baltimore Ravens. Ryan accumulated a NFL-best 117.5 passer rating, a 70.3 percent completion percentage, an NFL-high 9.6 yards per attempt. To cap off the monumental season, Ryan was named to the Pro Bowl and awarded the 2019 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

A role model on and off the field, Tannehill captures diverse audiences with his insight and best practices for overcoming adversity and translating into great success.
