re: Auburn in the NFL

Changing of the guard? The Jaguars are taking a look at rookie CB Nick Marshall, who not only was active on Sunday but was the Jaguars’ nickelback. He had some trouble early. Hasselbeck sent T.Y. Hilton deep on Marshall on their third offensive snap and Marshall got turned around and Hilton ended up with a 57-yard gain. However, Marshall held up OK and broke up a deep sideline pass intended for Donte Moncrief. Marshall played over Dwayne Gratz, the Jaguars’ third-round pick in 2013, and Demetrius McCray, the team’s second-round pick that year. The two players have a combined 41 starts but have only three interceptions (all by Gratz) and 18 pass breakups. The Jaguars know what they have in Gratz and McCray, but they’re intrigued by Marshall, who played quarterback at Auburn. Bradley said during OTAs that Marshall may have the best ball skills of all the Jaguars’ defensive backs.
