Marcus Mariota is lined up to be the new starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons following the franchise's decision to trade veteran Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts, and the 2015 second overall pick knows he has "big shoes to fill."
Mariota told reporters Friday:
"Those are big shoes to fill, no doubt. I think, for me, something I definitely learned over the course of my career is that you can't compare yourself to other people. What Matt did here, what he's accomplished here, is truly greatness, and for me, I just have to kind of carve my own path.
