Upper Deck and Marcus Mariota, the University of Oregon Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, have reached agreement on a new autograph deal through GT Sports Marketing.
Upper Deck Authenticated will offer Mariota signed Jerseys, helmets, footballs and exclusive images in a special section on its website. Prices range from $225 for a signed mini helmet to $600 for a signed and inscribed Titans jersey.
Last Sunday, Mariota’s overtime touchdown pass led the Tennessee Titans to a 34-28 victory against the Saints. The star rookie had his best pro game to date, throwing for 371 yards four touchdowns.
“Mariota had a stunning college career and has already shown tremendous potential with the Tennessee Titans. His star power makes him a perfect addition to our ever-growing roster of young, talented athletes,” said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck.
Mariota collected dozens of honors and awards as a college quarterback at Oregon including the Davey O’Brien Award for the nation’s best college quarterback and the Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards for the nation’s best college football player. In September, he threw four touchdown passes in his NFL debut and is considered among the most marketable young players in the NFL.
