Marcus Mariota is making NFL and Washington Commanders history this year, and the motivation behind it is very interesting.
If any Washington Commanders fan is being honest they hope Marcus Mariota never takes a snap for the team despite the fact he's the most experienced and battle-tested quarterback in the room.
It's not history he was searching for when selecting the number, however. Mariota is wearing it for a reason much more about the present, and where he's come from as a player. In the nine years Mariota has already spent in the NFL he's gone from No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Tennessee Titans to earning the 'bust' title, getting a second chance to lead a franchise with the Atlanta Falcons in 2022, to veteran backup and mentor to a new young quarterback who holds the future of a franchise in his throwing arm.
