21. Tennessee Titans (22)
Before anyone flips out over the Tennessee Titans being too high on this list, just take a look at the success this team’s had in the preseason and how quickly Marcus Mariota is developing into a top-10 quarterback.
The odds certainly aren’t in the favor of the Titans when it comes to winning the AFC South with other teams like the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts expected to make a strong run, but they could easily make things difficult for their opponents. Mariota seems to have taken his game to a whole new level and it’s shown in the preseason as the second-year quarterback should benefit from an upgraded running game along with better options in the passing game.
There’s something special about Mariota and Tennessee realizes how lucky they are to have him at quarterback. Now, it’s just a matter of how long it takes Mariota to get this team to the next level and whether he can make it happen this season.
