I can't recall any that lasted more than a few seasons as a DB in the NFL, after playing QB in college. Scott Frost comes to mind. I think he played safety for the Jets for a couple of years.
Yeah I don't think Marshall has a chance at CB, it's damn near impossible for a physically gifted QB to transition to another position. Frickin idiots who think Terrel Pryor or Tim Tebow could have played tight end, all these players best shots have been with their original position..

Wat?
Julian Edelman, Josh Cribbs, Antwaan Randle El, Freddie Soloman, Brian Mitchell all have had legit impacts at other positions. Matt Jones would have been a good receiver had he not had drug problems, and Denard Robinson looked pretty damn solid at RB last season. You've also got guys like Brad Smith who contributed.
Most guys who switch stay on offense, but Marshall's case is different because he actually has some experience at DB and by all accounts he was looking very promising back there before he got kicked off at Georgia. I think he can make a legitimate impact, whether that is at CB or S ultimately.
