When Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota looks through his facemask, he sees more than you probably thought.

He hopes everyone back home in Hawaii sees the same thing when they look at him.

You see, there’s a story behind Mariota’s facemask. Look closely, and you can see the bars spell out ‘808.” That’s by design – his design.

“Hawaii’s area code is 808, and the mask kind of spells that,’’ Mariota said. “It is a representation of where I came from. And it is special. It is such a blessing to be able to wear it.”
