Nick Marshall Worked Out for the Colts

[Smonroe]

Was on my local news (Bama station). Presumably they'll look at him at CB. He's a project, but lots of talent. Late round pick, I'd guess.

[TKnight24]

The Auburn QB Nick Marshall?

[Smonroe]

The Auburn QB Nick Marshall?

Yes. Sorry, being in Bama I'm used to everyone knowing these guys. He's got size and speed but hasn't played CB in a while, so he's raw.

[COLTS449]

Maybe if he's there in the 6th round or something. As far as Corner goes, I want Darby or Gaines in the 4th.

[Patagonia Chris]

Probably a candidate to be a 6th or 7th round pick. He has solid athletic ability but you have to wonder what his technique is like at this point. The type of kid that you could probably stash on the practice squad for a year and develop. I'd be all for it.

[PrincetonTiger]

He could be a steal

[Smonroe]

He's projected as a fifth rounder. He played CB and gunner in the Senior Bowl.

Grigs loves projects, if he showed well in his workout you know he's on our radar. Unfortunately, he'll probably be gone before our fifth.

I knew who he was, just didn't know he was playing CB now

He played CB at Georgia

[Colts_Fan12]

That would be cool if he made the transition

[Indyfan4life]

The Auburn QB Nick Marshall?

He's been working out as a CB and I assume would make that transition into the NFL.

[Superman]

Yeah he's a CB prospect. Apparently was decent at the Senior Bowl. As a late round project, I'd be okay with that.

I hope they worked out the two RBs, also. Artis-Payne runs hard, and Corey Brown is probably the fastest player in the draft.

[theanarchist]

He could be a steal

Ya, and don't forget we have the DB whisperer...

[USAFHoosier]

Could be a good late round pick. He's athletic and having been an SEC quarterback should be decent at noticing WR tendencies.

[lollygagger8]

We definitely need CB depth, so bring him on in. 

 

 

Off topic, but does anyone have news on Sheldon Price? 

[Smonroe]

You mean Corey Grant. He's very fast, but he had a hard time getting snaps at Auburn. I'm not sure if that says something about him or how deep Auburn was at RB.

[ProblChld32]

Is he the QB that converted to CB?  

[Superman]

Yup. Don't know where Brown came from.

 

From what I understand, there were no reps for him at Auburn. Artis-Payne was a grinder, and Marshall was a running QB. Not a lot of opportunities for him to carry the rock.

 

And that's partly what I like about him. Usually, SEC backs have been run into the ground by the time they get to the league. Grant has almost no usage.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Whatever!

Asking the important questions.

Anybody confirm this?

Is this Honeybadger part 2?

My bad. I didn't hear the report correctly. He's working out Saturday. I don't know what he has to do with the Honeybadger.

I don't know how good this speedster from Auburn is....   but I personally LOVE finding sleeper RB's buried on the depth chart at a football factory like Auburn.

 

I believe a year ago a kid named Blue from LSU was taken by Texas and he's now the back-up to Foster.   I think Blue got almost no legit playing time at LSU.    Buried behind lots of other guys.    But Texas found him, liked him, and I think stole him in the 6th round.     Love when that happens.

 

And if Indy can find a way to do something similar,  whether it's this guy, or someone else,  well, we have an extra 6 to play with....    just sayin...

[NewColtsFan]

Is he the QB that converted to CB?  

 

Yes,  Marshall has been Auburn's starting QB for a few years.    He's not a pro QB candidate, so his possible NFL position is either CB or Safety.

I had a brain fart. Disregard my comment on Honeybadger.

[Colts_Fan12]

Similar thing outside of Mathieu being a safety convert.

Mathieu was a QB?

Lol never mind
