Marcus Mariota Meets with the Eagles the Day After Chip Kelly Endorses Sam Bradford As His Quarterback

Jim Adair | March 12, 2015

Chip Kelly was not at Oregon’s Pro Day, but representatives for the Eagles were, and just one day after attempting to dispel any rumor that the Eagles have interest in Marcus Mariota, the Eagles showed interest in Marcus Mariota. The argument from the Eagles might be that they talked to Mariota just in case he falls to them at the 20th pick. And then, he went out and turned in an “underwhelming” pro day. Something is afoot.

Kyle: Trying to compute this Mariota thing. The Eagles talked to him today and the guy from UCLA yesterday? But Bradford’s 100% their guy? THE PLOT, IT’S THICKENING. Further– Mariota apparently tanked his pro day. Sandbagging son of a bitch strategy?

God I need a timeout right now.
