Drafted No. 2 by Tennessee
(AP) — The Tennessee Titans
hope they got it right this time
with Oregon’s Marcus Mariota,
their third try at landing a fran-
chise quarterback in the past de-
cade.
The Titans selected the Heisman
Trophy winner No. 2 overall pick
Thursday night after starting three
quarterbacks last season.
General manager Ruston Web-
ster said other teams offered “mul-
tiple” picks to move up to the No. Marcus Mariota
2 spot, though the Titans refused to
budge, believing they drafted the
quarterback that can turn around a
team that went 2-14 in 2014.
Mariota could start the season
opener Sept. 13 at Tampa Bay
against the top pick, Jameis Win-
ston. Neither was at the NFL draft
in Chicago on Thursday — Mar-
iota, from Hawaii was in Hono-
lulu with nearly 300 family and
friends; Winston was in his home-
town of Bessemer, Ala.
