Marshall faced an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster when he arrived but he’s been so impressive during camp that it now seems he’s likely to make it. The top three corner spots are pretty much a lock -- Demetrius McCray, Aaron Colvin and Davon House -- but Marshall is legitimately in the mix for the final two or three spots along with Dwayne Gratz, Peyton Thompson, Rashaad Reynolds, Tommie Campbell and Jeremy Harris.
Even if he’s not ready to contribute right away it may be in the Jaguars’ best interest to keep him over more experienced players. For the Jaguars to sign him to the practice squad they have to cut him and he must clear waivers, and if Marshall continues to improve it’s likely that another team would quickly claim him and the Jaguars would lose him.
The Jaguars knew Marshall was a physical fit for what they want in their corners -- bigger players with good speed -- and they’ve also found out he’s just as mentally tough despite his inexperience.
"The thing with him is it’s not too big," Bradley said. "He doesn’t care who he’s lining up against. You know me, a guy with that mindset, it’s awesome and he shows that day after day."
