After a season in which the Tennessee Titans tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the worst record in the NFL, the Titans enter the 2015 season expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. While I do not believe Tennessee to be one of the worst teams in the NFL, it’s hard to see a scenario in which it reaches .500 without huge strides. Here are five questions the Titans must answer in training camp if they are to have a successful season.

The Titans’ offensive line has been dreadful the past few seasons. With young players like Taylor Lewan, Chance Warmack and Brian Schwenke gaining more experience, will they prove that they can step up for a quarterback like Marcus Mariota?

Bishop Sankey was the first running back taken in the 2014 NFL Draft, but barely got any playing time last season. With the Titans drafting David Cobb, as well as already possessing Dexter McCluster, Jackie Battle and Antonio Andrews, Sankey must prove his dominance, or the Titans will look elsewhere.

Kendall Wright is the only guaranteed starter at the wide receiver position. Justin Hunter, Dorial Green-Beckham, Hakeem Nicks, Harry Douglas and Tre McBride are all jostling for position and will have to show out in training camp if they are to take a step forward.

The Titans’ run defense was awful last season. Tennessee will be the worst team in the NFL if it cannot stop the run. New additions to the defense have to show that they can perform from Day 1.

Marcus Mariota is a great quarterback. However, if this team continues to struggle, drafting him will look like the worst move of the draft. The Titans needed far more than a quarterback, so Mariota has to be an immediate hit.
