OT: Nick Marshall, Auburn

[football karma]

Anybody else see some Russel Wilson in him?

Similar height, slighter build. Better runner and seems to have plenty of arm

There doesn't seem to be any precision in his short passing game. Runs well and is pretty shifty. As you said, he can heave it though.

PS. I hope they beat 'bama, as an LSU fan I just can't stand Saban. No love for Auburn either, I just want them to win this game.

No sooner than I made my brilliant observation about his lack of an intermediate passing, he throws a beautiful ball over the middle for a TD. lol

I don't see any Russell Wilson in him. He's playing the best game of his career so it might seem like it right now.

 

[desertdawg]

How tall is he?

 

[WildBB]

Impressed! He's got a good accurate deep ball.

To be clear-- this isn't a "the Cards should draft him in the xth round" thread

Watching him operate against a very good Alabama defense, I saw many of the same plays that Wilson does: the spin out of a rush and keep the eyes down field. Will scramble, but uses it to find passing plays rather than just running.

To Gators point though -- the announcers also said that this game was a accurate as he has been all season.

Georgia got it right. They moved him to cornerback. Yesterday's game was an aberration. He's best running the football, but is not big enough to transition to running back full time. A receiver / running back hybrid in the manner of Percy Harvin could be his future.

Jeremy Johnson the quarterback in waiting at Auburn is a much better pro prospect.
