Titans select Mariota ... then proceed to hang up on him?
It was probably the biggest moment in Marcus Mariota's life.
The Tennessee Titans were on the clock after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked Jameis Winston No. 1 in the NFL Draft. Mariota's phone rings. It's the Titans. And then ... click?
According to NFL.com, the Titans, who reportedly were listening to offers for the No. 2 pick, accidently hung up on Mariota while they were telling him his life-long dream had come true.
Freudian slip? Who knows? Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt said that he expects Mariota to be the starter for Week 1.
But do you think this would have happened if Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly, who attempted to land his former Oregon quarterback, had taken Mariota?
