The Titans quarterback is now the fourth NFL quarterback to obtain a pilot’s license. The others are Hall of Famer Steve Young, former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
Tannehill is excited to join the ranks of these other quarterbacks and is looking forward to exploring the skies. He hopes that his new license will help him to become a better leader on and off the field. He believes that flying will give him a better understanding of how to lead his team and make decisions in the air and on the ground.
It’s clear that Ryan Tannehill is taking his career to new heights with his pilot’s license. He joins an exclusive group of NFL quarterbacks who have obtained their license and is now ready to take on the skies. With his new license, Tannehill is sure to be a leader both on and off the field.
