Tennessee team (6)
I believe the answer is:
titans
'tennessee team' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for titans that I've seen before include "Elder deities of Greek myth" , "Taints in giant men" , "Legendary giants with taints" , "Taints found in great men" , "Mythological beings of great size and strength" .)
