Jameis Winston vs. Marcus Mariota
This almost has a feel of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird coming out of college. Like the two NBA icons, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota had their futures linked in the Rose Bowl. One a boisterous, smiling kid in Winston. The other a reserved, shy youngster in Mariota. Both joined by their incredible talent for playing football.
Fittingly their NFL careers will start off the same way their college ones ended: against each other. Mariota hopes to pick up where he left off by beating Winston while the #1 overall pick looks to show why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took him instead.
