SAN DIEGO – His first two seasons with the Tennessee Titans, Zach Mettenberger was a young quarterback learning a complex NFL offense without a role model.
Yes, the Titans had experienced signal callers like Charlie Whitehurst and Jake Locker on the roster, but none of them commanded a room like San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
So when the Titans drafting Marcus Mariota last year and waiving Mettenberger three months ago, the LSU product has had an opportunity to learn as much as he could from one of the best quarterbacks in the game in Rivers.
