FORT WORTH, Texas — Marcus Mariota knows what he has to do at the NFL combine, whether he throws there or not.

“You just have to get one team to love you. That’s all that really matters,” Mariota said Monday before accepting the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s top quarterback. “You are interviewing and trying to market yourself to get a job. ... That’s what’s fun about this process.”

Mariota said his throwing (right) shoulder that he sprained in the first College Football Playoff championship game was feeling good. But he won’t decide for a few more days about whether to throw later this week in Indianapolis.

“Really, I’m looking forward to throwing if I’m able to do that,” he said. “It’s going to be a decision that my agent and the team that I have around me will decide when I get closer.”

The O’Brien’s black-tie awards dinner was held in downtown Fort Worth, about 20 minutes from the stadium where exactly five weeks earlier the Heisman Trophy winner got hurt in Oregon’s 42-20 championship loss to Ohio State.

Named in honor of the 1938 Heisman Trophy winner from TCU, the O’Brien is another in an impressive list of awards for Mariota.

Oregon’s star quarterback was the overwhelming winner for this year’s Heisman Trophy and The Associated Press college football player of the year. The dual-threat player also won the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp player of the year, and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which also goes to the top quarterback.
