Marcus Mariota had a rough 2017 season, but Titans fans are still excited about their young franchise quarterback for several reasons, including the fact that he's fantastic human being.

The Titans held a Special Olympics event at their stadium Saturday. Not only did Mariota show up, but he stuck around until every kid had a chance to catch a pass from him.

The kid in the video had some trouble hauling in the pass, but Mariota didn't grow impatient or try to make things easier in order to get out of there. He happily threw him passes until a catch was made and was genuinely excited when it finally happened.

The Titans have themselves a good quarterback and an even better person.
