Delanie Walker is a three-time Pro Bowl tight end. Walker spent the first seven years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, winning the NFC Championship in 2012. During the 2015 season, he shattered all Titans records for a tight end, including 1,088 yards receiving. In 2018, Walker was named 2018 AFC Offensive Pro Bowl MVP after doing what he had done for the Titans all season: deliver in clutch situations and catch game-winning touchdowns. In 2022, Walker announced his retirement after over a decade of exceptional play.
Walker was named the 2013 and 2015 Tennessee Titans Community Man of the Year primarily due to his tireless work with Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He teamed up with MADD to help raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving after losing his aunt and uncle in a horrific accident near New Orleans after Super Bowl XLVII. He is also the founder of the Delanie Walker Gives Back Foundation Walker, founded to provide inner-city and low-income children with the educational opportunities and resources to reach their full potential and beat the odds. Currently, Walker works as part of the NFL Legends Community, helping to connect all Legends, their former teams, and the league. He continues to work closely with MADD and Everytown for Gun Safety in his philanthropic pursuits.
In addition to serving his community, Delanie Walker is also an inspiring keynote speaker. He shares personal stories and lessons from his professional football career and post-football endeavors. Throughout these sessions, Walker provides insight into topics such as youth sports empowerment, mental health awareness, and gun violence prevention.
