The other 3 will all be in the NFL with Chubb probably turning into a star himself. Michel and Marshall have a very good chance to be starters or better.
I love UGA but this is just not accurate. Keith Marshall won't ever find a place in the NFL other than a 3rd down guy or maybe a kick returner. I'd actually be surprised if he ever gets regular carries, wouldn't shock me if he's out of the league in 3 years. Michel is a dynamic college player but I don't ever see him being a starter in the NFL. Solid backup for sure though. I can see Chubb doing well.

Out of everyone listed, Marshall is least likely to emerge but giving the running back situation right now in WAS, I think he has a very good shot to prove himself this season. I really believe if he can get some meaningful snaps, he will show his worth. Plus M Jones is dubbed the starter, but has major fumbling issues.
I think S Michel is very underrated by UGA fans. I've heard many say he can't carry the load, but he proved it last year with many games(7) over 20+ carries. Plus he is always a threat as a receiver and kick returner. He has great quickness and explosion, although he may lack elite top end speed, and great hands. He can make people miss and even shows some good pop, but is not elite like Chubb/Gurley. Even in the Bama game, Sony was our best back that day. Other than a busted play where Chubb had a wide open field (no knock on chubb), Sony was getting more consistent gains.
I think his game translates well to the NFL. Hell if Crowell is able to be the starter in the NFL, then Michel definitely can do it, and K Marshall as well. At 5'11 and 212 lbs, Michel definitely has the size to play RB in the NFL, plus one would think he would add more muscle as well.

Wut? Michel might be a better NFL player than them all.
