Better start moving Marcus Mariota down those draft boards because of obvious character concerns.
The Oregon star quarterback was ticketed last week for speeding after being clocked doing 80 mph in a 55-mph zone.
Mariota faces a $260 fine, which can be reduced. His court date is also the same day as the Home Depot college football awards, though it’s unlikely he’ll have to miss that.
Mariota was said to be polite and respectful during the stop, which I’m sure will be comforting for Ducks fans. What’s more comforting is that he was driving a Nissan sedan. At other schools, the star quarterback would probably be caught driving a BMW or Lexus, which could probably trigger some sort of potential violations investigation.
Oregon and its rebellious quarterback face Colorado on Saturday.
