Marcus Mariota is a great player on the football field, but he might be an even better person off the field.

The Tennessee Titans quarterback showed once again that he is a person of genuinely great character during a Special Olympics event in Nashville Saturday. Mariota didn't just show up, have a few photos taken and shake a couple of hands. He stayed throughout the entire event and made sure he gave every child an opportunity to catch a pass from him.

Watch and notice his patience while interacting with one kid who had trouble catching a pass and his reaction to success.

Marcus Mariota wouldn’t leave our Special Olympics @SOTennessee event until every kid had a catch. #TitanUp pic.twitter.com/Csvh78PpII — Tennessee Titans (@Titans) April 7, 2018
