The skinny: Mariota faced questions about whether he was too nice for the NFL when he was a prospect, and that narrative has died off. Watson has improved in the area of vocal leadership, according to his QB coach at Clemson, and all indications are that he has the full respect of his teammates. Evaluations when it comes to leadership ability are always elevated for the quarterback position. If it works the same way it did for Mariota, questions about whether Watson can lead at the next level will fizzle over time.
