Former Tennessee Titans linebacker set to make Super Bowl history in 2023-24 postseason.
The Tennessee Titans will not play in Sunday’s dramatic Super Bowl, but one of their own has a chance to create history. According to Front Office Sports, Terry Killens, a former Tennessee linebacker, will become the first individual to play and officiate in the Super Bowl.
Killens will be part of Bill Vinovich’s referee crew for his third Super Bowl game. Killens, down judge Patrick Holt, line judge Mark Perlman, field judge Tom Hill, back judge Brad Freeman, replay referee Mike Chase, and sideline official Allen Baynes will join Vinovich in Super Bowl LVIII, which will pit the San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Terry Killens: Former Tennessee Titans linebacker.
Killens previously played for the Penn State Nittany Lions before being taken 74th overall by the Houston Oilers in the 1996 draft. Killens played rarely until the 1999 season, when he recorded 32 tackles, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery. That season, the Tennessee Titans (formerly known as the Oilers) advanced to the Super Bowl, where they were defeated 23-16 by the St. Louis Rams. The six-foot-one linebacker had five tackles throughout his team’s postseason run.
Killens spent one more season with the Titans before heading to the San Francisco 49ers. He had 28 tackles before landing with the Seattle Seahawks in 2002, his final year in the NFL.
Killens shifts to officiating after playing career.
In 2013, Killens began serving as an official for the American Athletic Conference. He switched to the Alliance of American Football in 2019, a now-defunct professional league. After a brief career in the AAF, Killens moved on to the NFL. He wears jersey No. 77, which was formerly worn by multi-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay and current media personality Mike Pereira.
Killens will become the first person to both play and officiate in the Super Bowl when it kicks off on Sunday. The Titans and Rams faced off for the first time in Super Bowl history the previous time Killens appeared. To conclude the game, Rams defender Mike Jones made a game-saving stop on Kevin Dyson, dragging him down at the one-yard line as time expired.
