Terry Deleon Killens (born March 24, 1974) is an

1996 NFL Draft.[1] In the 1999 season, the Titans made it to Super Bowl XXXIV, in which Killens appeared as a substitute;[2] however, they lost to the Kurt Warner-led St. Louis Rams.[3]

Killens has been a

umpire on the crew led by referee Tra Blake.[4]

It was announced in April 2019 that Killens would be joining the NFL officiating staff for the 2019 season. He wears uniform number 77, which was previously worn by three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay (and before that, Mike Pereira). Killens works at the umpire position, as he did in the AAC and AAF.[5][6]

Killens was the umpire for Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, making him the first person to both play in and officiate a Super Bowl.[7][3]
