CDS Profile

Brandon is inexperienced as a receiver, having played mostly safety prior to the 2005 season. He really came on towards the end of the 2005 season though, and played extremely well in UCF's bowl game. He has great size as a wide receiver, having similiar physical qualities to that of Terrell Owens. Blessed with a terrific size, speed combo Brandon finished the '05 season with 74 receptions for 1,195 yards. Brandon has sure hands and does a good job of not letting the ball into his body. Because of his size and legit speed , he will pose matchup problems against smaller CB's. Played in this years Hula Bowl and finished the game with 5 receptions for 101 yards and 1 TD. Although Brandon is a bit raw at the WR position , he has all the tools to make the transition to the NFL. Impressed at the combine and displayed better than expected speed and also was impressive in agility drills and pass catching drills. Brandon Marshall is a borderline 1st Day selection , likely to be drafted in rounds 3-4.
