27/147 ain't bad.

5 09 wont help

Marvin is too smart and too good a tackler to not catch on somewhere. His desire to make plays cannot be measured by a tape or by scales.

he was not invited to the Combine, so most scouts don't expect him to be a draft pick of much consequence. he may need to have a tremendous ProDay to catch some attention.

I hope he will get a free agent contract ,,make the practice squad and later the team
Go Marvin

I'd have enjoyed that reel more if they hadn't insisted on panning to the scoreboard before every clip.

Interesting that they didn't include his pick-6 against SEU (or I didn't see it if they did).

Whoever gets him will get my definition of a football player. A good un. The guy makes plays. I have no doubt he can play and be a very good player in the NFL. he just needs a legitimate chance.
