Former Oregon Ducks' quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner has impressed Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn with a 'superpower' that other quarterbacks do not have.
At the time, Washington coach Dan Quinn viewed Mariota as added experience to an untested quarterback room. The move seemed to make even more sense when the Commanders drafted former LSU quarterback and winner Jayden Daniels with the second pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
The team has been in training camp since the middle of July and in that brief time coach Quinn has realized he got more than he bargained for with the addition ofare doing a nice job not just throwing the ball but playing the position, getting in and out of plays,” Quinn said. “Part of Marcus’ superpower is getting outside and being off rhythm. You’ll see different plays and different schemes as the quarterbacks play, so that will be one thing I keep an eye on moving forward.

While the pre-season games have started, there isn’t a great deal of information to consider with regard to a startingplayed four different quarterbacks in their first game, a 20-17 loss to the New York Jets, with the statistics mostly meaningless.continues, look for Daniels and Mariota to get more reps with the first team as the battle for a starting job heats up.
