To think, all those people that told him he'd never be an NFL Running Back.

He's a special talent.

^Shocking part, it was a red zone TD. They never try to throw it to him in the red zone. He can outjump just about anybody, yet never throw it to him and let him jump up for it.

Tom Dumbinbill said he would not even play RB at Bama.

Lugs said they "felt he was a better fit at a linebacker or defensive end." He could have excelled at either one of those two positions. I've never seen, or heard, "never play running back" at Bama though I could have missed that comment. I suspect the story has changed over the last few years to "a better fit" to "would not play."

Another one of those comments I caught in the background and I'm not sure if I heard it correctly.

Mariota is the first Heisman winning quarterback to win a NFL playoff game since Jim Plunkett in 1980?
