Marcus Mariota has put the Tennessee Titans on the map, and he hasn't even thrown an interception (who cares) taken a snap in a game yet. How do I know? Well the fact that Peter King made a point to stop by Titans practice yesterday says it all. Here are the things that King took away from watching the Titans:

The Mariota hype train just keeps rolling along. I can't wait to see what he does in the preseason opener.
