Oct 3, 2019 · NASHVILLE – Houston Oilers great Earl Campbell is 64 years old, but he experienced a first on Thursday. Campbell gave a motivational message to the Titans on his first visit to Saint Thomas Sports Park, but that's not all. "Heck, this is the first time I've ever been in Tennessee," Campbell said as he watched practice.

He was inducted as one of six charter members into the Titans Hall of Fame in 1999, although Campbell declined an invitation to the induction ceremony, stating, "I was a Houston Oiler, not a Tennessee Titan."
