Signing an endorsement deal with Subway probably seemed like a good idea to Marcus Mariota, but I'm guessing he's now regretting it after the chain unveiled a horrifying sandwich sculpture that's probably going to give Mariota nightmares for the rest of his life.

Basically, if Mariota ends up being a bust in the NFL, don't blame him, blame Subway for putting this image in his head -- an image that will likely keep him from sleeping for the rest of his adult life.
This Frankenstein sandwich doesn't even look like Mariota, well, except for the eyebrows. I think they got the eyebrows right.
To celebrate the new endorsement deal, Mariota served a few sandwiches to some kids in Hawaii.

The kids don't look terrified in the picture above, so I'm guessing they didn't get to see the Mariota sandwich sculpture.
By the way, it sounds like Mariota's still kind of salty about Subway's Hawaiian policies. "He made sure to tell us that he knew that our $5 foot long wasn't $5 in Hawaii," a Subway executive told ESPN.
Hawaii might seem glamorous from the outside, but I'm suspicious of any state that can't sell a five dollar footlong for five dollars.
