1. Marcus Mariota
The times, they are a-changin’.
The end of a decade brings new life, but that doesn’t mean what was once treasured will be forgotten. QB Marcus Mariota was like a shot in the arm to the organization and gave the Titans a face to identify with its small market.
Among Mariota’s list of accolades, a few memorable moments or feats stand out the most. And of those moments, a couple let us know what kind of football player Mariota is. A player with a full heart and an intense desire to win.
Remember Mariota’s block to help seal the playoff win versus the Kansas City Chiefs? I do.

Or, how about when Marcus caught his own touchdown pass to spark the comeback in the same game?

The highlights and memories with MM8 under center will forever be a part of Titans history, even with the changing of the guard. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mariota will finish with 13,183 passing yards, 76 touchdowns, and 44 interceptions — the best Tennessee Titans quarterback of the decade.
