In the wake of former Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota signing with the Atlanta Falcons, wide receiver A.J. Brown tweeted out that Mariota was the “best leader I ever been around.”
Of course, some people took that as a shot at his current quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, but at the time I didn’t see it that way. Instead, I chalked it up to Brown just being over-the-top happy for a former teammate he liked and respected very much during their brief time together.
Also, if you took that as a shot at Tannehill, you’d have to take it as a shot at every coach and teammate Brown has ever had, as he didn’t say “best QB leader” but rather “leader.”
