NFL Preseason Football Tennessee Titans at Atlanta Falcons Start Time, Odds

Throughout Marcus Mariota’s outstanding college career, the question on every football lover’s lips was, “Can he do it in the NFL?” Wide receivers Kendall Wright and former Falcon Harry Douglas are expected to start for the Titans and with several other players performing during training camp, specifically veteran Hakeem Nicks, both will need to impress coach Ken Whisenhunt.

The expectations are certainly high for Mariota, who was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, but those same expectations should not include a lot of playing time; at least not on Friday night. But fans and coaches are looking forward to seeing how he will perform at the next level.

Lockwood said soon after the Heisman Trophy victor from Saint Louis School was drafted by Tennessee KHON contacted its Media General sister station, WKRN, in Nashville, which holds the rights to the Titans’ non-national exhibition games. Matt Ryan returns with both Julio Jones and Roddy White while several young rookies and free agent additions are aiming to try and make their spot on the depth chart.

On the Falcons side of things, Atlanta comes into the matchup under brand-new leadership with first-year head coach Dan Quinn.
