Nashville, TN – In his fourth NFL season, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is charged with picking up offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur’s playbook and guiding the offense. He will do so with the benefit of a complete, healthy offseason, a luxury he did without the previous year due to injury.
The former No. 2 overall draft pick won 20 games as a starter from 2015 through 2017. It was the most by any quarterback in his first three seasons with the franchise since George Blanda joined the Oilers as a 10-year veteran in 1960 and earned 28 wins through 1962.
