Marcus Mariota — Quarterback

  • Passing yards: 4,055
  • Passing touchdowns: 29
  • Interceptions: 10
  • Rushing yards: 305
  • Rushing touchdowns: 2

Marcus Mariota will enter this third year in the NFL with as many offensive weapons as he’s had so far in his career.

With that in mind, I think Mariota will record his first career 4,000 yard passing season in 2017.

The Titans added Corey Davis in the draft this past off-season. He will be a potentially elite target for Mariota.

Tennessee has one of the best offensive lines in all of football. When you combine the great offensive line, with the added offensive weapons, there’s a good chance we see Mariota run a little less in his third season.

Obviously that will still be part of his game, it helps keep defenses honest, but the Titans will have a lot of ways to beat teams in 2017.
