NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota started 12 games in 2015, his rookie season in the NFL. So, how does Mariota's start compare to previous first-round picks by the organization at the quarterback position? Here's a look at Mariota's first 12 games as a starter compared to the first 12 starts for quarterbacks Steve McNair, Vince Young and Jake Locker.
Keep in mind McNair took over as a full-time starter in his third NFL season after starting six games in his first two seasons. Young played in the first two games in his rookie season before taking over as the starter in Week 3 of the 2006 season, while Locker played in five games as a rookie in 2011 before starting his first game in 2012.
Reminder: Mariota missed four games this season with a knee injuries.
