Brandon Tyrone Marshall (born March 23, 1984) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the UCF Knights, and was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL draft. Marshall has also played for the Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, New York Giants, and the Seattle Seahawks. After his retirement from the NFL, Marshall became a TV personality, and is a former co-host on FS1's morning show First Things First. Marshall currently cohosts Showtime's Inside the NFL and has been on the show for seven seasons.
During his playing career, Marshall was known for his ability to break and dodge tackles.[1] He led all NFL wide receivers in yards after first contact for the 2007 NFL season. Regarding Marshall's breakaway ability, cornerback Brandon Flowers said, "Brandon Marshall is a defensive lineman playing wide receiver. He wants to inflict punishment on you. He wants you to try to tackle him so he can shove you off of him and get more yards."[1] Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said Marshall is "the toughest guy to bring down, one-on-one."[2] Despite Marshall's long productive career, he has never played in a playoff game. His 12,351 career receiving yards are the most ever by a receiver who has never played in the postseason.[3]
On December 13, 2009, against the Indianapolis Colts, Marshall set an NFL record for receptions in a game with 21.[4] From 2007 to 2009, he accomplished the rare feat of catching at least 100 passes in three consecutive seasons.[5]
