Zach Mettenberger was without question the most polarizing player for the Tennessee Titans this offseason. Last May, Mettenberger walked into Tennessee’s locker room as a mere afterthought. A sixth round “insurance” pick to back up Jake Locker and newly acquired backup qb Charlie Whitehurst.
Since then, we’ve witnessed Mettenberger go from third string…to backup…to starting on Monday Night Football against Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
J.J. Watt, one of the most recognizable players in the league, gave Mettenberger’s Q rating a shot in the arm with his reaction to the rookie’s pre-game “selfie pic” prior to his first professional start.
