Mariota, reflecting on his career, shared appreciation for being wanted back by the Commanders. He noted the significance of being in a supportive quarterback room and expressed readiness to contribute. Mariota was also surprised by the size and enthusiasm of the fan base, describing it as a sleeping giant with a historic following. He excitedly anticipates the team's future under new ownership and the potential for increased fan engagement in the DMV area.
For me, it was one of those things hard to pass up, and you want to go somewhere where you're wanted. They were very adamant that they wanted me back for another year.
I was very surprised at how big the fan base is. It was kind of a sleeping giant of a fan base...people across the country had really followed the Washington Commanders.
