Titans' Ryan Tannehill keeping starter's mindset as backup QB
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After seven years as the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, Ryan Tannehill finds himself in a new role with the Tennessee Titans, as backup to Marcus Mariota. That hasn't altered Tannehill's confidence or preparation: He says is keeping a starter's mindset, so he's ready to deliver if he gets an opportunity this season.
"My endgame is to be ready if my number is called. I am going to come out every day and compete against the defense. If my name is called, I have to be ready to go help this team win," Tannehill said Thursday in his first news conference as a Titan.
