02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Marsh's physical traits and explosiveness project well to a press-man heavy scheme that prioritizes athletic, aggressive corners on the boundary.

Press-man CBBoundary CBField CB
Best role

As a rookie, Marsh could compete for a special teams role while developing as a backup boundary corner, with the ceiling to become a solid starting outside corner in a man-heavy system.

Wrong fit

A passive, zone-heavy scheme that asks him to read and react to the quarterback's eyes will diminish his effectiveness and expose his coverage deficiencies.

Marsh's athletic profile and aggressive play make him a strong fit for a press-man scheme, where his natural abilities can be maximized.

04The evaluation

Selected #90 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Utah State.
