NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota played in his 50th career game on Sunday.
The fourth-year quarterback's career passing totals include 10,974 yards and 65 touchdowns, and he has an additional 1,151 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground.
It led me to wonder how Mariota's stats compare to some of the franchise's other first-round picks at the position since the team became the Titans.
Here's a look at how Mariota's first 50 games compared to quarterbacks Steve McNair and Vince Young. If you're wondering about Jake Locker, well, he played just 30 career games before retiring.
