The Denver Broncos went to the state of Florida last year and found a player similar to Marshall. Marshall isn’t as gifted an athlete as Jamal Carter is, but they both could see playing time on special teams. Carter provided good value last year as a depth safety for the Broncos.

Marshall, like Carter, displays great closing speed and to be an aggressive tackler. Carter is the same way. In fact, the straight line speed Marshall inherits gives him opportunities to come down in the box on occasion.

Special teams is the name of the game to make an NFL roster as an incoming player. Marshall might make a name for himself on special teams. Due to his reckless abandon as a tackler, he is headed for becoming a terrific gunner.

Cody Latimer, a former wide receiver for the Denver Broncos went above and beyond that. Latimer became a staple on special teams. Marshall could be that guy, but the number of kept safeties on the roster will be key.
