I remember him being a talk of camp last offseason too. I remember reading up on him, coming out of Michigan State as one of those darkhorse type players that nobody was talking about and my biggest worry about him when we signed him was his age. He was 24 then and is 25 now, so you wonder how much peaking is left in somebody's body when their that age.
What I have seen out of him though that I love, is his high football iq and great instincts. He also uses his hands well and all of that acts as a great buffer for him if his body is peaked physically or close to it. Understand also that I'm not calling him an out of shape slug. His pre draft measurables on his pro day were very similar to Vic Beasely and he was a first round pick last season.
I'm very excited for this young man. It's nice to see a player who has been talked about two off seasons in a row making great plays on the camera now. As I said before, there is no substitute for heart and willpower. Keep it up Marcus!
Yep. His age is definitely worth nothing. He's actually older than Lemonier.
