Former Oregon Ducks Quarterback Marcus Mariota was on hand in Eugene for Spring Practice and is ready to get back to work for Tennessee.

Last season did not end as planned for the Tennessee Titans and Mariota. A broken fibula ended what could have become a run in the NFL Playoffs, but without their leader, it was not to be. Entering 2017, the team begins preparations with a Quarterback on the mend and the Titans will work him back into form slowly.

Tennessee added some additions to the Offense in Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor in the NFL Draft. The idea of Mariota getting some work in with these new pieces is key to the upcoming season. Pro Football Talk caught up with Head Coach Mike Mularkey who said the team plans on getting Mariota work in 7-on-7 Drills. Minimal contact allowing the former Oregon Duck to work on chemistry.

Davis is also on the mend from an ankle injury and has been doing individual drills.

Rookie Mini Camp started on May 12th and Marcus Mariota was not running full speed on the first day of workouts.

In 2016 Mariota threw 25 touchdowns to 9 interceptions and continued to be a dual threat with his feet. He had 349 yards on 60 carries on the year as the Titans just missed the Playoffs.
