Byron Marshall, 5’9 205: Wide Receiver/Running Back

9 catches, 121 yards, two touchdowns

Marshall numbers are so low because of an ankle injury that took him out only four games into the 2015 season. He however has proven to be very versatile, in 2013 he rushed for 1,038 yards and 14 touchdowns. In 2014 when it was apparent that Oregon had a logjam of talent at running back, he moved to wide receiver in 2014. He excelled at that position too with 74 receptions, 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. While many may be worried about an ankle injury out that took him out of his last season of college football. Marshall could see his stock rise with a team that wants a swiss army knife on offense. If he can regain his form from his best college days, he could present an offensive threat much like Darren Sproles.
