Jake Locker: 'I must play faster'

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker has admitted that he must start acting faster if he is to become a success in the NFL.

Locker, who will be entering his second season as the Titans' number one QB, said that making better decisions under pressure will allow him to get to the next level.

"The priority for me this year is just playing faster, whether that's through my progression or decision-making," Locker told USA Today.

"Not waiting to make it to where I was like, 'Oh man, if I'd decided to run there, I could have made a good gain, where now I got sacked.' It's just trying to make it a little bit faster to make those plays more productive."

Locker completed 177 of 314 attempted passes last season.
