Regret getting kicked off Georgia. Leave it to auburn to ruin a kids pro career by not using him at his best position
Cute story. He went to JUCO on his own accord to play QB, not DB. The teams that ultimately were finalists to sign him out of JUCO were all schools that were going to let him play QB. It was his choice.

Was he playing outside or in the slot? If outside, that's actually not a good thing.

It wasn't a flame thread, I was actually curious what people thought about his draft stock since there's not that many predictions on what round he'll land in. There's some solid discourse on how he'll end up, but then someone sprints in and says he'll be a great DB because he had to tackle the ball carrier a lot while playing DB at the senior bowl (of all places, haha). I know that could mean he stopped a bunch of sweeps his way or whatever, but the most logical reason for a cornerback having a ton of tackles is usually because his man caught a lot of passes.

Most folks think he'll end up undrafted in NFL, and could end up Arena or Canadian league. The guy is a good athlete, some team will pay him to play.

but it's also hard to see what he really offers as a draftee right now.

Georgia had his best interests at heart and he blew that opportunity

quote:Is that why they were recruiting Nick Marshall as a quarterback before they took Christian LeMay as their 2011 classes quarterback? After that position was taken, Georgia saw him as such a great athlete they decided to offer as an athlete. Nick Marshall accepted the offer because he really wanted to play for Georgia and the rest is history.

Marshall, now a junior at Auburn, was a two-sport star at Wilcox County. In fact, for awhile he wanted to concentrate on basketball at the college level. It was a big reason he ended up at Georgia.
Twice, Marshall was the boys basketball AP Class A player of the year. During the spring of his junior year, he had all but decided he wanted to pursue a basketball career first. Georgia head coach Mark Fox was interested, but he was hoping Marshall would be at Georgia on a football scholarship. Football has an 85 scholarship limit, basketball has 13.
At that point, Georgia’s offer to Marshall was as a quarterback. But it only wanted to take one quarterback in its class, and LeMay committed first, that spring. So Georgia’s offer wasn’t there anymore.
But a conversation during spring practice revealed to Ledford that his star was having a change of heart.
“He said he didn’t want to play football. (But) I asked him if he was being recruited as a defensive back would he have more interest in playing football, and he said yes,” Ledford said. “So when Georgia found that out, they reoffered him as a DB. And that kind of gave him the opening to get back into Georgia and possibly do both sports.”

“Our initial conversations with him in recruiting was quarterback. That’s what we recruited him as the whole time,” Bobo said. “Then toward the end (Marshall) had a change of heart and wanted to play defense or another position. We felt he’s such a great athlete that we’d let him play whatever he wanted to play.”

Really? Show me where he claimed he was a great CB? Can you link it? I will wait.
