Week 2: Titans OT David Quessenberry
With 14:55 left in the second quarter of Tennessee’s 19-17 loss to the Colts, Marcus Mariota threw a one-yard touchdown pass to offensive tackle David Quessenberry.
Quessenberry doesn’t need touchdown receptions to make his story impressive — he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins’ lymphoma in 2014, went through three years of treatment before he was diagnosed as in remission, and returned to the NFL. The Titans signed him after the Texans waived him in 2017, and while he hasn’t seen a lot of action in the 2019 season, he made this one count.
The Titans have lined Quessenberry up anywhere on just seven offensive plays this season — all as an eligible receiver in Weeks 1-4. This was his only catch, and his only target.
“It was a simple route — any of the offensive linemen on this team could have caught that ball,” Quessenberry said. “I just happened to be the guy who had his number called on that play and was able to come down with it. All I was thinking was, ‘Don’t drop it.”
