NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans rookie Marcus Mariota is living a bit of an inside-out rookie season.
What’s supposed to be especially hard for a rookie quarterback – working against the blitz, working in the red zone -- is coming most easily for him.
Mariota has a QBR of 90 against the blitz this season, best in the league. In the last 10 years, only one other rookie has lead the league in QBR against the blitz -- Robert Griffin III in 2012.
