The long snapper played at Tennessee from 2005-2009 before going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft and signing with the Ravens.
Since then, Cox has become one of the best long snappers in the NFL. Cox has made five Pro Bowls in his 13-year career including a Super Bowl win in 2013 and First Team All-Pro selection in 2020.
Cox and the Titans open up their 2023-24 season Sunday when they travel to New Orleans to take on new quarterback Derek Carr and the Saints.
