Tennessee Titans linebacker Arden Key has his drug suspension OVERRULED after appeal was declined
Tennessee Titans linebacker Arden Key will be eligible to play in the team’s opening game after he won his appeal against a suspension.
Back on July 30, Key was initially suspended by the league for six games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy.
But his appeal was successful – meaning the Titans’ gamble of having Key take first-team reps despite the possible punishment has paid off.
Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons posted on Twitter that Key won his appeal and added the caption, ‘See you guys Sept 8.’
Last season was Key’s first in the Music City with the Titans – where he had six sacks in seventeen games.
That was just half a sack short of his career high of six-and-a-half sacks, which he set back in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers.
Key is a seven-year veteran of the NFL after spending his college years at LSU.
Tennessee is coming off a 6-11 season – their worst by winning percentage since 2015.
Games that Key is now eligible for includes the opener against the Chicago Bears on September 8 and games against the Jets on September 15, the Packers on September 22, the Dolphins on September 30, the Colts on October 13, and the Bills on October 20.
After Tennessee’s first joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, Will Levis became a fragrance promoter. He handed out samples of a new scent created through his endorsement deal with a mayonnaise company.
The fragrance, “Will Levis No. 8,” is a mayonnaise-scented perfume that quickly sold out on Tuesday at $8 per bottle, with a new batch released Wednesday morning.
The scent includes citrus and coffee notes, inspired by Levis’s college habit of putting mayonnaise in his coffee at Kentucky. The commercial for the perfume created a buzz and sold out rapidly.
“We didn’t expect such a quick reaction, but it sold out within an hour,” Levis said. “And it’s just $8 a bottle. It’s for a good cause and a fun partnership, and it’s been amazing to see how it’s turned out.”
Levis is making sure his teammates receive a bottle of the perfume.
“They’re surprised that it actually smells good,” Levis said.
As he enters his second NFL season, Levis is excited about this unusual endorsement. He thanked the Titans for allowing the commercial to be filmed at their facilities, using both the practice and indoor fields.
Levis was involved in creating the fragrance, providing feedback on different samples. He likens the scent to that of a hotel lobby and has been so busy that he hasn’t checked his social media or texts.
He’s aware of the humorous side of the commercial, which features him drinking from a jar of mayonnaise and eating mayo off his finger while lying on the field.
“As silly and goofy as it was, I knew the more serious I took it, the funnier it would be,” Levis said.
