Chip Kelly won't 'mortgage future' on Marcus Mariota


Chip Kelly thinks Marcus Mariota is the best quarterback in this year's NFL Draft. But he's not going to risk the Philadelphia Eagles' future -- he recently traded starting QB Nick Foles to the St. Louis Rams for Sam Bradford, who's had two ACL injuries -- by trying to trade up to get the former Oregon Duck and Heisman Trophy winner.

Wednesday, he addressed the media to set the record straight.

The draft begins Thursday, April 30. We'll see what happens then.
