Even though Marcus Mariota has moved on to the NFL, he continues to be the nicest player in college football.

This past weekend, a father decided to film his son, 3-year-old Clive Johnson, during breakfast and ask the question that so many Oregon fans are asking themselves right now: Would you prefer longtime Mariota back up Jeff Lockie or Eastern Washington transfer Vernon Adams to take over Mariota's vacated spot?

Acting out the response that so many Oregon fans are feeling right now, Clive said, "I want Marcus Mariota to come back" before bursting into tears.

Though Duck fans might not admit that they've also broken down at breakfast, they can probably relate with Clive.

By Wednesday evening Mariota had responded, saying, "Sorry I won't be headed back to Oregon. I know Coach [Mark] Helfrich and the rest of the Ducks will do a fine job." He then presented a Titans' Mariota jersey to Clive, via video.

Clive's day -- maybe even week -- was probably brightened by the gift from Mariota. But with the Ducks starting fall camp next week and the QB situation still in flux, we can't guarantee that Clive's breakfasts are going to be any less difficult.
