I keep saying this, but if Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota played in a bigger market, he’d easily be one of the most recognizable names in the NFL right now.

Mariota and the Titans are surely on the up and up heading into 2017. His team, which boasted a 3-13 record just two short seasons ago, may actually be a playoff contender in a weak AFC South division this year.

And a lot of the credit should wind up falling on Mariota.

One of the things Mariota needed this offseason was a true No. 1 weapon, of which he had none a season ago.

So the Titans went out and drafted the best receiver in the NFL Draft, former Western Michigan standout Corey Davis.

This chemistry will be fun to watch as Mariota continues his maturation.
