3. Marcus Mariota

The big question here will be how will the broken leg he suffered on Christmas Eve affect Mariota in the 2017 regular season?  If you ask his coach Mike Mularkey, not much.  He mentioned at the NFL meetings last week he should be ready for training camp.

Still, how quickly can he get back to the level he was playing at in 2016.  He threw 26 touchdowns and just nine interceptions last season, his second in the NFL.

The Titans will visit University of Phoenix Stadium for the first time ever this upcoming season. With a lot of locals familiar with the former Pac-12 standout at Oregon, it should be a fun game to watch.

Mariota can also run with the ball which makes him a double threat.  He rushed for 349-yards in 2016.  He has a lot of weapons at his disposal.  Hopefully this is a game that comes early on the schedule.
