Birthday:

Having achieved an outstanding college football career with the Oregon Ducks team of the University of Oregon from 2012 to 2015, Marcus Mariota entered the NFL Draft in 2015 as a good prospect. He was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the draft and made his NFL debut in August of the same year. He joined Las Vegas Raiders in March 2020.

Parents & Siblings

He is the oldest son of Alana Deppe, of German descent, and Toa Mariota, who has Samoan ancestry. His younger brother’s name is Matt.

What year was drafted:

Cheers and applause ring in as the Hawaii native’s dreams of becoming an NFL quarterback have just come true. He puts on the navy blue hat and shakes the commissioner’s hand just mere minutes after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the No. 1 overall pick.

Fast forward, and Mariota is in his fifth year with the Titans. He has had only the same offensive coordinator once in back-to-back seasons (Terry Robiskie in 2016 and 2017), an unstable offensive line and now has been benched ahead of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Los Angeles Chargers in favor of Ryan Tannehill.

Mark Helfrich coached during the first half of Saturday’s 34-24 loss to Oregon State, in Corvallis, Ore.

Mariota played college football at Oregon, where he was the starting quarterback from 2012 to 2014. As a junior in 2014, Mariota became the first University of Oregon player, as well as the first Hawaii-born athlete, to win the Heisman Trophy.
