Tennessee Titans’ quarterback Jake Locker’s career certainly has not gotten off to the kind of start he hoped it would.
Locker, the eighth overall pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, has played in just 23 of a possible 48 games in his three-year NFL career.
Locker played in just seven games last season after an injury forced him to have Lisfranc surgery.
On Monday, Locker declared himself ahead of schedule in his rehab from the injury.

As of now, the Titans are seriously considering not picking up Locker’s option in the offseason and the former Washington Huskies’ standout knows that he must stay healthy and play well this season to keep his job, calling it a “make or break year.”
