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.
