The reigning Heisman trophy winner gives the Jets all of these qualities, plus elite athleticism that would keep defenses off balance.

But it may take time for Mariota to become comfortable with a pro-style system, which places him behind Jameis Winston at the top for quarterback prospects.</p>. QB. Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 6. player
