Marcus Mariota is the real deal according to one Titans veteran

There was a lot of talk about Marcus Mariota's leadership skills/style.  Apparently, at least according to one veteran, things are going very well so far:

Some buzz from Titans’ locker room: One vet player tells me Mariota is real deal. Stud player with great arm — but also a perfect attitude.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but the same things were said about Jake Locker.  Now I'm not saying that Locker and Mariota are the same, I am just saying that all of the good pub in the world doesn't mean anything if he doesn't get it done on the field.
