Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota got off to a scintillating start to his NFL career. He faced the only man to be drafted ahead of him in this year's draft, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, and threw four touchdowns and had a perfect QB rating in a blowout victory over the 2015 first-overall pick. Titans QBs coach John McNulty went as far to say that Mariota is the smartest player he's ever been around. "It's just uncanny," McNulty said Friday afternoon, speaking on the phone from the Titans' headquarters in Nashville, before making the trip to Florida's gulf coast.
