"There is no doubt that Mariota has great physical tools. He has a strong arm, size and excellent mobility. Mariota can make big plays with his feet in terms of taking off and running, or just avoiding sacks to buy time. He also throws well on the run. Mariota will have to learn how to work under center for the NFL." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

 "Post-snap, Mariota is one of the deadliest passers in recent draft history. He combines tremendous athletic ability and running skill with plus arm strength. Last season his deep ball improved greatly. His placement outside the hashes downfield still needs ample improvement, but Mariota has the skill set to become better in that area." - Alex Brown, SportingNews
