Brandon is 6'5, 230 lbs.
He was a 1k receiver until moving to the Jets (805). Production obviously decreased after that. He's not known to be a fast guy (4.6 40) however he does run good routes & solid hands. Also keeps himself in good shape. I expect we'll get good production from him the rest of the season. Hot take ... he could become a monster in the red zone/end zone with Brees. |

Re: Brandon Marshall: "I think it's a wide receiver's dream" | Week 11 Post-Practice
The more I read about where he's been (not geographically), and how he has overcome his mental health issues, the more I like this move.
I always saw him as a me guy, and wasn't necessarily a fan. But he's got a very real quality, extremely articulate and from what I heard about his speech at the NFL owners meeting, he's come a long way. This could be good... |

With the Saints it's less about speed and getting open and more about getting on the same page as Brees. He always had the ability to throw receivers open but this year he has cranked it up several notches. His near 80% completion percentage is mind boggling.

I really like the way he answered the questions.
He sounds really self-aware and didn't assign blame anywhere. The responses rang of genuine honesty and openness. Not a lot of cliches but measured, well thought out answers. He may not succeed here but to me it seems that will be a matter of age and health, not a bad attitude. |

Draws attention from defenses who are keyed in on MT & AK. He'll beat single coverage most of the time. The best corner playing MT he'll get the 2nd CB or nickel CB. Gotta like his odds.

WR dream:
an o-line giving the game's most accurate passer time and a stud on the other side drawing the top CB. Oh yeah, and Kamara. And Ingram. yep, he's right |

He is aware that people think he's done. Seems this is a chip he has placed on his shoulder, so I like that. Hopefully he is motivated to "shock the world", so to speak and will come to our team with something to prove.
