The biggest question surrounding Marcus Mariota during the lead-up to the 2015 NFL draft was if the former Oregon star would be able to learn a different style of offense.

Per ESPN’s Paul Kuharsky, Tennessee Titans quarterbacks coach John McNulty said the team hasn’t been forced to slow down in the implementation of the attack, because Mariota has handled it all.

McNulty also pointed out Mariota’s ability to throw accurate passes while on the run, a credit to the quarterback’s athleticism and talent.

Ken Whisenhunt will continue tailoring the Tennessee offense to fit Mariota’s strengths, which will occasionally involve getting the dual-threat weapon on the move to give him multiple options.

Plus, Mariota has a slew of weapons in Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter, Delanie Walker and second-round pick Dorial Green-Beckham, so the Titans should be excited about their future with Mariota under center.
