A biography for Marcus Mariotahasn’t been written yet.
“Anything I am doing, I want to win, I want to be the best at it.”
“Any motivation starts with some type of doubt.”
“Losing! It bothers me a lot. I'm such a competitor, and I take everything personally.”
“Just do your business and everything else will take care of itself.”
“I ran a lot of quick-strike concepts in high school just because from the University of Hawaii, a lot of guys that were in my high school coached that way.”
“Getting an education, building relationships and lasting friendships for the rest of your life... you can't take that away.”
“I stay away from online dating. Interacting with the person right in front of you is a much easier way to talk.”
“For me, any team that wants me to be part of their club, I'm all for it.”
“You know, being the first pick to me, it's not a huge thing.”
“I would love to play for the Browns.”
“When it comes down to it, you win a bunch of games or maybe things don't go the way that you plan - those relationships that you build with the guys around you last a lifetime. To me, that's meaningful.”
“Not being in the playoffs is frustrating.”
“I love Oregon. I love the community.”
“All I can really control is how I prepare and get ready for whatever team picks me.”
“You just have to be your best and no matter what, do what you can do and affect the things that you can control. And from there, let the dominoes fall where they may and see where you end up.”
“I do play in a spread offense and in order to translate into the NFL, I'll have to take snaps under center.”
“I'm not a fan of spiders... I tend to avoid them as much as I can.”
“You can't just limit yourself to underneath routes and let the defense kind of sit on those things.”
“The way Michael Vick uses his legs and is able to throw out of the pocket really changes games. The way that Aaron Rodgers is able to sit in the pocket and make throws that not a lot of people can make - I hope I can be half what those guys are and emulate it into my game.”
“I just try to be the best version that I can be, day in and day out.”
