Scout: Mariota's football IQ "surprisingly good"

[godkiller]

Per Peter King:

"Here’s what one scout told me about the chalk talks Mariota had with several teams: “He did much better on the board than expected and his football IQ was surprisingly good.”

You think Peter King and Co. were going to stand idly by and let the accolades surrounding Winston's white board prowess go unchecked?

"He ain't that bad, that shouldn't be a point to factor in the draft, that boy can play ,on the other hand that boy Winston still got some issues off the field "

Mariota is no dumbass

Problem is translating the chalk work to the field

I'd agree with this, except he got a back handed complement lol.

I don't care what Peter King says, where's the video, we saw Winston in action, so if Mariota was "surprisingly good", show the tape
