Marcus Mariota, Las Vegas Raiders
There was much speculation on whether or not the Las Vegas Raiders would choose to move on from Derek Carr this offseason. Instead of replacing Carr, they decided to add a former first-round pick to be his backup in Marcus Mariota.
Back in 2015, Mariota was the No. 2 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. The Oregon product would show promise in his first two seasons, combining for 6,244 yards, 45 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions.
However, in his final three seasons with the Titans, Mariota began to falter and ended up being replaced by Ryan Tannehill last season. While he won’t have the starting job to begin with, Mariota could have a similar outcome as Tannehill a season ago if Carr fails to perform well in 2020.
