Marshall’s big-bodied TE who brings dependable blocking and chain-moving upside
Brian Shope’s Marshall profile shows a 6-5, 248-pound tight end who played in all 12 games in the 2006 season, started 11, and produced 8 catches for 115 yards, with staff notes calling him a “solid receiver and excellent blocker.” In the 2007 season, his stat line was modest — 7 receptions for 50 yards — but that doesn’t tell the whole story: his value is size, physicality, and reliability in the run game, making him the kind of TE who helps an offense function even when he’s not the headline act.
