Mariota bulks up with weights, better diet

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A bulked up Marcus Mariota addressed the media when the team returned to the Titans facility for the first day of offseason workouts on Monday.

Mariota simply said yes when asked if he put on 5-10 pounds but he went into detail about having a specific purpose in adding the weight.

"I'm a little bit heavier. When it comes down to it, being able to absorb the hits and be healthy for a full year, those things haven't happened yet. I am doing my best to be on the front end of it and allow myself to be able to play all 16," Mariota said.
