"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator Scott Frost says NFL scouts' concerns about Marcus&amp;nbsp;Mariota's&amp;nbsp;demeanor are \"ridiculous.\"&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the months leading up to the NFL draft, Frost has fielded plenty of questions from scouts about his former pupil.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Some of them were great questions and some of them were some of the dumbest questions I've ever heard,\" Frost said, according to &lt;em&gt;The Oregonian&lt;/em&gt;. \"I think it's ridiculous to think Marcus is too nice to play football. If that was the case, he wouldn't have won so many games around here.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During his three years at quarterback, Oregon went 36-5.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;BRANDT: On Prospect Maturity and Players We Don\u2019t Know&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;MMQB's&amp;nbsp;Peter King&amp;nbsp;wrote last month&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;Mariota&amp;nbsp;\"is such a nice and polite guy that many NFL people wonder if he has the nasty streak to bark at a teammate who messes up.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Like if you punched him in the stomach, he might apologize to you,\" an NFL scout told SI.com's Thayer Evans and Pete&amp;nbsp;Thamel&amp;nbsp;in October\u200B. \u201CI just don\u2019t know if he\u2019s that alpha male that you\u2019re looking for. This kid\u2019s a kind of fly on the wall kind of guy.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mariota won the 2014 Heisman Trophy after throwing for 4454 yards and 42 touchdowns as well as rushing for 770 yards and 15 touchdowns.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is jockeying with former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston for the No. 1 pick in the draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pick first and the Tennessee Titans pick second.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200B\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
