The Tennessee Titans have struggled at the quarterback position greatly in recent history, but appear to be headed in the right direction after signing Ryan Tannehill to a four-year, $118 million extension.
But just as the team has gone through several starters who didn’t pan out, they’ve also gone through some backups who have failed to deliver in important games.
For now, the Titans have Logan Woodside and newly drafted Cole McDonald to work with behind Tannehill.
Here’s a closer look into the latter.
Pros
McDonald does a good job looking off safeties, and his quick release almost makes up for some issues with his throwing motion.
In terms of zip on the ball, McDonald has shown some flashes of arm strength and dropped some absolute dimes with the Rainbow Warriors.
His overall athleticism, speed, competitive spirit and willingness to take a hit when he takes off with the ball are a big part of what’s made him an appealing prospect.
