These days, Dr. Kevin Dyson is highly involved in education. He has been a teacher, coach, administrator or principal since 2006. However, before he pursued his educational career, he played for the Tennessee Titans. Dyson was drafted 16th overall in the 1998 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Oilers, who would eventually become the Tennessee Titans the following year.
The talented wide receiver out of the University of Utah played five seasons for the Titans and is most famously known as the man who scored the touchdown on the Music City Miracle.

Dyson, who still lives in the Nashville area, keeps a close eye on his former team, and one player he has been watching is rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor. The talented rookie out of Stanford is turning heads with some of the things he has done in OTAs and is doing in minicamp so far.
"He is a big target in the red zone and has a big catch radius," Dyson said of Ayomanor to Athlon Sports. "He high-points the ball well and uses his frame well."
But along with the praise, Dyson also has some notes on things he has to work on.
"He needs work on precision with routes, but who doesn't need that though?"
Overall, the former Titans first-round pick likes Ayomanor and thinks he is a good football player with potential. The only question is whether that potential will start to show on the field this year, and if so, at what point in time. But it is very evident that Ayomanor has the skills to make an impact in the Titans' wide receiver room, not only this year but for years to come.
