Titans using Marcus Mariota to simulate Lamar Jackson in practice

If there’s one guy who can even sniff the kind of athleticism Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has in order to help the Tennessee Titans better prepare for him, it’s backup quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The Oregon product is a great athlete who has the ability to use his legs to make plays. It’s for that reason the Titans are using Mariota to simulate what Jackson can do during practice.

Of course, as good of an athlete as Mariota is, he still pales in comparison to Jackson, who ranked sixth in the NFL in rushing yards this season.
