Tennessee Titans

Derrick Henry's 99-yard touchdown Thursday night was dope ... but there are a few runs BETTER than it in NFL history -- so says Pats legend Willie McGinest.

Henry stiff-armed three dudes straight to the dirt, stayed in bounds and outran all 11 Jaguars to the end zone ... and the whole state of Tennessee went crazy after.

But, when we got Willie out at LAX -- he says he's seen better, "I would say it's ONE of my top runs."

Willie ain't a hater ... he just says he's seen Marshawn Lynch go off way too many times to put Derrick's epic run ahead of some of Beast Mode's famous sprints.

"That's why we started calling them the 'Beast Mode Runs,' 'cause of Lynch against the Saints. And then, I think he had another one against Arizona, so."

Think Willie's wrong?? Take a look at the Beast Quake one more time ...

Derrick Henry had arguably the greatest run in NFL history Thursday night ... and his pal, Mark Ingram, couldn't have been prouder -- 'cause he lost his mind watching it!!!

ICYMI ... Henry tied the longest run ever in the NFL with a 99-yard TD in the 2nd quarter of the Titans' blowout win over the Jags -- and the play was epic.

Derrick stiff-armed three dudes, tight-roped the sideline and outran the entire Jacksonville defense to tie Tony Dorsett's longest-ever TD run.

Ingram -- who won a Heisman Trophy at Alabama just like Henry -- went bananas watching the replay ... super proud of his buddy who's taken criticism for not running well this season.

"You get a stiffy! You get a stiffy! You get a stiffy! I see you, boy!"

Henry's night wasn't over there -- the dude ran for another 139 yards and 3 scores -- and yeah, Ingram was just as pumped for those too.

"Tell them we ain't going for it, bruh! Tell them we ain't going for it! We don't need none of that fake love that they was talking, man! We out here, boy! Yeah!"

Ingram wasn't the only guy impressed ... both Le'Veon Bell AND Ezekiel Elliott praised the gallop on their social media pages.

DeAndre Hopkins had nothing but love for late Houston Texans owner Bob McNair on Monday ... despite the fact the two clashed hard after McNair's infamous "inmates run the prison" comment.

Remember, while NFL owners held a meeting to find a way to stop the kneeling protests last year ... McNair was quoted as saying, “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”

Hopkins was reportedly VERY offended by McNair's comment and sat out a full practice in protest.

But, after torching the Tennessee Titans on "Monday Night Football", DeAndre couldn't have been more respectful when talking about McNair in the locker room.

In fact, when asked about the team's decision to give the game ball to Bob's son, Cal McNair, DeAndre explained ..."That was very special. Cal and their family deserve it with everything they've done for this city."

"Everything they've been through ... Bob was at practice. Bob was active, and Cal is the same way. So you got to love those guys."

In addition to giving Cal the game ball after the victory ... the Texans honored Bob with helmet decals and a pregame video tribute.

There will be no Terrell Owens-like drama with Darrelle Revis and the Hall of Fame, 'cause Revis will get in first ballot ... so says Tennessee star Adoree Jackson.

We got the Titans corner out at the ESPYs earlier this week ... and Adoree poured on the praise for the ex-Jet who just retired Tuesday.

"Darelle Revis is gangster, man," Jackson tells TMZ Sports. "It speaks for itself. Legendary."

Adoree says the two haven't gotten the chance to talk since he's been in the league ... but D.R.'s got all kinds of time on his hands now that his playing days are over.

Colin Kaepernick ain't on an NFL roster, but he'll be taking the field against the Texans this Sunday ... courtesy of Tennessee Titans star Rishard Matthews' cleats!!

The 28-year-old receiver revealed his custom kicks for the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" campaign this weekend ... which allows players to wear any creative design supporting a charity of their choice on their cleats during the game.

Matthews explained his decision to support Kaep's Know Your Rights Camp ... saying "I don't have a foundation so I have chosen to support my brother (Colin Kaepernick's) foundation."

"He has paid the ultimate sacrifice in order to bring true everyday issues to light."

Where's the first place you go after getting selected in the 1st round of the NFL Draft and becoming a millionaire overnight???

MICKEY D'S, BABY!

That was the plan for ex-USC cornerback Adoree Jackson -- who was so excited after being taken with the 18th pick by the Tennessee Titans, he already had his order planned out!

Jackson was in a great mood -- and told us about his big plans to become an A-list crossover celebrity!

Tennessee Titans linebacker Avery Williamson says he was conflicted about wearing special cleats to pay tribute to 9/11 victims ... so he asked for advice from the man upstairs ... and God told him to lace up.

As you've probably heard, Williamson said he was concerned about his cleats being a distraction -- and even possibly earning him a fine from the NFL -- and waffled about the footwear.

Check out the clip ... Williamson explains how he prayed for an answer -- and got one.

There's more ... Williamson also says he got love on Sunday from one of the people holding the American flag during the National Anthem -- and it's the kind of story that gives you the tingles.

The NFL has no plans to fine Tennessee Titans linebacker Avery Williamson for his custom 9/11 cleats he wore on Sunday ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Williamson planned the tribute back in August and had custom cleats made with a patriotic theme and the words, "Never Forget" on the back.

Williamson said he was contacted by a league rep over the cleats and advised not to wear them. Several police organizations and even his coach offered to pay for any potential fines.

But when we asked the NFL if Williamson would be fined, since he ended up wearing them on Sunday -- we were told straight-up by a league spokesperson, "No, nothing anticipated."

As for the cleats, Williamson is auctioning them off with proceeds going to Operation Warrior Wishes.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry tells TMZ Sports he's fired up about sharing the backfield with DeMarco Murray ... saying he's a "good guy" and a "great leader."

The '15 Heisman Trophy winner -- and 2nd round pick of the Titans -- touched down at LAX for an NFL rookie event ... so, we had to ask if he was concerned about competing with DM for the starting job.

But Henry says there's no hostility -- and he's excited to work with a guy who's already "done such a great job in the NFL."

Sometimes, 21-year-olds aren't as stupid when it comes to money as you'd think ...

Here's the newest Tennessee Titan, Jack Conklin -- the 8th overall pick in the draft -- telling us how he plans to STAY wealthy now that he got wealthy.

Tennessee Titans star Kendall Wright has serious off-season headaches ... his baby mama is taking him to court for child support, and thinks he's getting revenge by repossessing her car.

In court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Kortney Michelle Owens-Rader says she has a 5-month-old baby boy with Wright named Kendall Jr. -- and the Titans leading receiver agreed in December to pay her $2,100/month in child support, starting in 2016.

The docs make it seem like everything's cool between Kortney and Kendall, but sources close to her say that's not the case. We're told Wright had been "taking care" of Kortney -- a singer signed to Floyd Mayweather's record label -- but nothing was on paper.

Cut to last week when, according to our sources, Kortney's 2014 Cadillac XTS -- a gift from Wright in happier times -- was repossessed. We're told Kortney thinks Wright stopped making payments because he was pissed she took him to court.

This probably won't get better ... they're due back in court in a couple of months. We've reached out to Wright's reps, but nothing back yet.

JBJ's not buying the Titans ... these 5 words he swears to you.

Reports surfaced this week that Bon Jovi would have "considerable interest" in buying the Tennessee Titans -- if they are put up for sale.

FYI -- Bon Jovi was part of group that tried to buy the Buffalo Bills last year and he owned an Arena Football League team back in the day. Plus, there are rumors the current owners of the Titans could be shopping the team around in the very near future.

But Bon Jovi tells TMZ Sports ... for now, he's not trying to take over the Titans.

"Rumors of my interest in the Tennessee Titans are nothing more than that. I am not part of any group perusing a team that is not for sale."

Here it is ...the mug shot that ruined the NFL's arrest-free month in September -- courtesy of Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham.

DGB was popped in Missouri last Wednesday for going 65 in a 55 ... and when the cop ran his info, it was discovered the 22-year-old had an outstanding warrant for a speeding violation in another county.

He was hauled to a nearby station where Green-Beckham was booked and posed for a mug shot -- featuring 2 gold chains -- and was later released after paying his $92.48 debt.

California should call Marcus Mariota ... 'cause he's the man to end long droughts -- according to country music star and ex-QB Sam Hunt, who thinks Marcus is gonna make it rain for the Titans.

On the heels of Mariota becoming the first rookie QB to toss 4 TDs in his first start ... we got Sam -- a huge Titans fan -- and asked him about MM's historic debut.

Hunt played ball at Middle Tennessee State, and was invited to Chiefs camp ... which means his review carries a little more weight than a casual fan. So, is it too soon for Titans faithful to dream about their first postseason since 2008?

Check out the clip -- Sam seems as down with Mariota as every chick seems to be down with Sam ... which is very, very, down.

Tennessee Titans WR Justin Hunter fights like a bitch ... sucker punching a man outside a Virginia bar in a ferocious attack ... this according to prosecutors.

Hunter just appeared in court in Virginia Beach ... where his mother was inside the courtroom crying ... as Justin faced charges he assaulted a man at Sandbar Raw Bar on July 3rd.

Prosecutors say Hunter and his friends approached another group of guys they didn't know and began arguing ... and at some point during the argument, Hunter began throwing punches.

The victim, prosecutors say, fell to the ground ... and Hunter and his pals continued to beat and kick the man.

Officials say the man eventually got up and left the bar -- and was outside spitting up blood -- when Hunter got out of a Range Rover and sucker punched him while he was hunched over.

The victim claims he was hospitalized for 2 days -- with a broken jaw, cracked tooth ... and also had a tooth knocked out.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter was arrested in Virginia today ... after allegedly beating up someone in a crazy bar fight earlier this month.

Cops say Hunter was involved in a brawl at the Sandbar Raw Bar in Virginia Beach on July 3rd -- where a victim was transported to a hospital to treat the injuries.

Hunter surrendered to authorities on Monday and was charged with felonious assault. He's being held at Virginia Beach City Jail.

The 24-year-old is set to be arraigned tomorrow.
