Marcus Mariota Cracks Jokes on David Letterman's 'Top 10'

Now that he's won a Heisman Trophy, it's safe to call Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota a household name.

Following the traditional path of celebrity, we knew it would only be a matter of time before Mariota ended up on the Late Show with David Letterman. 

Mariota took his comedy chops to the Ed Sullivan Theater on Monday night, listing the top 10 thoughts that went through his head after he won the 2014 Heisman Trophy. The 21-year-old held his own on stage, drawing a huge laugh with this jab at New York's underachieving football teams:

Appearing on Letterman has become a rite of passage for Heisman winners. Jameis Winston, Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffin III have all appeared on the program.

Mariota is probably too young to get the Don Ho reference, but he makes a good point about not spiking the trophy. The Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League showed us what can happen when you don't take care of your hardware, via SB Nation's Rodger Sherman.

Next up for Mariota's Ducks are the undefeated Florida State Seminoles. Bleacher Report's Tom Weir is calling this Rose Bowl matchup "a battle for the soul of college football."
