Mariota was brilliant for the Ducks this year, accounting for 4,452 yards from scrimmage and 53 total touchdowns while leading Oregon to the inaugural College Football Playoff. His former coach and current Philadelphia Eagles coach, Chip Kelly, gushed about him on radio station 94WIP in Philadelphia on Monday, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:

"

I think Marcus will be successful whether he's an NFL player, a banker, a teacher, a fireman, a policeman. I've said it before about some other players, but if you can buy stock in a human being, you buy stock in that kid because he'll always be successful in anything he does....

I felt lucky that I had an opportunity to coach a young man like that. When you listen to his [Heisman Trophy] acceptance speech, I think it's maybe a sliver of what we got the chance to experience every day to be around him. He's a special young man. I know I'm a better person for being associated with him.

"

Mariota seems likely to be a top-five pick in this year's NFL draft if he decides to bypass his senior season at Oregon. There are several teams near the bottom of the standings in need of a franchise signal-caller, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans and New York Jets.

Heisman runners-up Amari Cooper of Alabama (115 receptions for 1,656 yards and 14 touchdowns) and Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin (2,336 rushing yards, 29 total touchdowns) joined Mariota on the first team.

While Mariota has been collecting postseason awards left and right, Barrett Sallee of Bleacher Report noted that Alabama would have been in trouble without Cooper this year, per B/R Radio on Twitter:

Other notable selections include Shaq Thompson (first-team all-purpose), who played both linebacker and running back for Washington this season, and J.T. Barrett (third-team quarterback), who took over for Braxton Miller at quarterback for Ohio State this season and accounted for 3,772 yards from scrimmage and 45 touchdowns.

Just a redshirt freshman this year, Barrett will likely head into next season as a Heisman favorite and a candidate to move up a few teams in the 2015 All-America selections.
