Over the past five seasons with the team, Mariota played in 68 games, including five playoff games. And what might be next? "I have no idea," Mariota said of what's ahead. "I am not worried about what is going on next. For me, if I can just live in the present, live in the moment, everything else will fall into place. ..." We'll be watching for more.
