Marcus Mariota left a huge impact at Oregon and the student athletes there are thanking him.
Mariota is expected to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but before that he was a Heisman Trophy winner — the first for the school. He also set plenty of school records including career total offensive yards (13,089), career passing yards (10,801) and career passing touchdowns (105 TDs), to name a few.

He also led the Ducks to the Rose Bowl and the 2015 College Football Playoff championship game. Oregon won the Rose Bowl over Florida State, but lost the title game to Ohio State.
His attitude on and off the field inspired other Ducks, and that's why they felt the need to create a tribute video before he begins the next step of his career.
