Marcus Mariota hasn't signed his rookie contract, but it's not because of surfing.

Marcus Mariota remains the only rookie selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft that has yet to sign with his team.

Earlier this week, rumors started swirling around that Mariota was hesitant to sign his rookie deal due to a clause that would prohibit him from surfing. Seems logical, right? I mean, everyone in Hawaii is a professional surfer. At least that's what watching Johnny Tsunami taught me.

To no surprise, that rumor was shot down pretty quick, according to Paul Kuharsky, who covers the Titans for ESPN.com.

Someone directly involved with the deal said "no truth at all" to surfing storyline with regard to Mariota contract.
