If Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota had not broken his fibula in Week 16 of his second season in the NFL, he would have been a Pro Bowler. He was first in line to replace any signal caller who was not willing or able to make the trip, which was the case with Tom Brady and Matt Ryan, among others.
Mariota earned that honor because of his stellar performances throughout the season. After a rough start to the season in which the Titans were 1-4 as a team, Mariota put on a show for the remaining twelve games.
