Marshall was held to just 12 games due to injury, but he still managed to catch 46 passes for 671 yards and 13 touchdowns. In LSU’s Week 2 victory over Texas, Marshall joined 2020 first round pick Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase as part of a trio that all hauled in more than 100 receiving yards.
With three touchdown grabs in the Tigers Week 1 victory over Georgia Southern, he became the first Tiger since Travin Dural (2014) to make three touchdown catches in a game. Marshall also scored two touchdowns in the SEC Championship Game, two in the Peach Bowl and one in the national championship game vs. Clemson.
At 6-4, Marshall can win nearly every jump ball and will likely be a red-zone favorite for whichever team selects him.
With a full season of health to match the production he put together in 2019, there’s a high chance he forgoes his Senior Season and declares for the 2021 NFL Draft where he may just be a first round pick.
