COREY MARSHALL HIGLIGHTS

Intrigued with passion to play in the trenches since he started playing football around four or five years old. Has played between 260-275 during his days at Virginia Tech and currently weighs 270lbs. Short but not stocky carries his frame very well. Versatile and has played every position on the defensive line. Sneaky athletic and game tape reveals a player who can slice through the line, be disruptive and drop back on occasion in coverage. Attention to detail and studies opponent. Mature and welcomes coaches knowledge and teaching to the game. Disengages of the ball and applies great pursuit on the ball carrier. Better pass rush technique and two-gap play will need to be developed. Developmental prospect with upside. Not sure if he is a fit for every team due to his size but his mixture of Phillip Hunt (Detroit Lions) and Aaron Donald (Los Angeles Rams) make him a late round prospect. Two thumbs up prospect I’m excited to see carve out career in the NFL.
