The New York Jets' brass, headed by general manager Mike Maccagnan and coach Todd Bowles, will be in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday for a private workout with quarterback Marcus Mariota -- another important step in the pre-draft evaluation process.

Maccagnan attended Mariota's pro day earlier this month, but this time the Jets will have one-on-one time with the Heisman Trophy winner. It'll be the standard routine. There will be a workout on the field, along with a classroom session. Mariota will be tested by the coaches on specific plays he received ahead of time. The idea is to gauge his football acumen.

Mariota is regarded as the No. 2 quarterback prospect behind Florida State's Jameis Winston. The quarterback-needy Jets could take Mariota with the No. 6 overall choice, but he might not last that long. He could be picked anywhere from second to fifth, possibly by a team trading up.
