Craig Marshall

Low round Patriots prospect: Craig Marshall (DE/OLB, 6-04, 265, South Florida)

He might not be classmate Jason Pierre-Paul but he sure looks a lot like him. From the video you can tell this guy is a beast. He’s raw, but check out what National Football Post says about him:

Displays a good first step as a pass rusher and possesses the length and upper body strength to eventually shed himself free from blocks. Also is very nifty for a guy his size with the body control to cleanly change directions and accelerate up the field. However, again, is still learning to play with leverage and maintain balance when extending his arms into blocks. Consistently waits until he is engaged to try to start working his hands and allows his pad level to pop upright consistently into contact, keeping him from generating maximum power on his bull rush and/or fighting his way through contact.

He’s a good-looking piece of clay who has a skill set and frame that is NFL caliber. Needs some work, but definitely looks like a draftable prospect on pure upside alone. More of a developmental guy at this stage who could end up paying off big time if you are patient.
