I had a chance to attend the Tennessee Titans fourth day of training camp on Monday night. Over 2,000 fans showed up to see the team but more importantly they were there to see one man, Marcus Mariota. The number two overall draft pick has impressed from the moment he stepped foot at St. Thomas Sports Park. From studying the playbook, to in the locker room, to now on the practice field.
Mostly during the practice, Mariota stayed put in the pocket and delivered throws efficiently within the tackle box. He gets the ball out of his hands very quickly and puts it in spots where wide receivers, not defensive backs, can make a play.
It’s clear to see who the savior is. The fun part will be finding out if it’s true.
