Fun practice from QB2: Marcus Mariota
Quarterback Marcus Mariota had a lot of good passes to go around as well.
Mariota is another player that has stood out during Training Camp and didn't disappoint fans in the stadium. He was able to make some great throws to receivers Zay Jones, Willie Snead IV and Henry Ruggs III, and used his feet on several option plays, finding his way streaking into the end zone.
While Derek Carr is the firm starting quarterback, the idea of Mariota getting some snaps alongside Carr is being entertained. Last week, Gruden and Carr publicly stated how happy they are to see Mariota healthy after being out most of last season with various injuries. The former Heisman winner is currently just trying to find any way he can to make an impact for the team.
"Physically, I was coming off surgeries last year and mentally it was a tough situation in Tennessee. I really appreciate this coach staff – this team for welcoming me in, as well as the quarterback room," Mariota said Sunday. "I feel great. I feel confident throwing the football. I have a lot of fun in this system. Each and every single day I think it's great to be around a group of guys that enjoy the game, and it's a lot of fun to go to work."
