Ah man, it's been a few weeks but better late than never. In the sixth round the Titans chose their third defensive player of the Draft when they selected versatile defensive tackle Jackie Marshall out of Baylor University.
Jackie is an interesting prospect. He's on the smaller side for the most part and his strengths are more on the quick, elusive, explosive, athletic side rather than being some big powerful bull-rusher type. He also adds versatility value, with experience playing practically anywhere on the line of scrimmage. I get Jurrell Casey vibes from Jackie. Jurrell is an all-time great Titans defensive lineman who also showed strong versatility and athleticism.
Casey was drafted in the third round and Marshall was selected in the sixth. Casey's listed height and weight was 6'1" 305 pounds, Marshall is listed at 6'2" 293 pounds. So there's a few more mild similarities there as well.
Can never be too deep on the defensive line! Marshall was pretty well respected at Baylor too as he was awarded No. 0 which apparently is an honor at Baylor and has to be voted on by the team.
Pretty impressive highlights!

The never ending Madden vault continues! It's wild that these games were played well over two years ago and I finally get the chance to post it. It feels really good though! Time absolutely flies. Lord knows when I'll get to play Madden again as I don't have a PS5 and am stupidly broke LOL. Hopefully one of these days. Until then it's fun to look back on these old contests. Madden will always have a place in my heart. The first game here was excellent!
