[LucaBrasi]

He's got a substance abuse violation in his past, so he should fit right in. #RKG

Garrett drove me to abusing substances!!!!

 

[slick325]

For those new to the Zone, this signing along with drafting or signing any CBs makes Risen very happy. He feels CBs are game changers and should be paid top dollar.

@Risen Star...did I sum up your sentiments adequately?

5.28

Marqueston Huff (FS)
HT: 5'11" WT: 196LBS.

POSITION: FS

SCHOOL: Wyoming

ARM LENGTH: 31 3/8"

HANDS: 9"


Overview
The Texas prep lettered in football and track and field. Arrived at Wyoming in 2010 and appeared in all 12 games as a true freshman, recording 18 tackles, one pass breakup and one interception. Saw action as a nickel back and on special teams. Moved into the lineup in '11 and started 13 games at cornerback, registering 47-2-3 with 2.5 tackles for loss and three fumble recoveries. Accounted for both of Wyoming's defensive scores, scooping up fumbles for TD runs of eight yards at Bowling Green and 48 yards at Air Force. Played in 12 games (10 starts) at cornerback in '12 and had 57-7-0 with 1.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and one blocked extra-point attempt. Production blossomed after taking over the free safety role in '13, tallying 127-6-2 with three tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one blocked field goal attempt. Team captain.

• SELECTED BY: Titans
• ROUND: 4
• PICK (OVERALL): 22 (122)

PICK ANALYSIS:
"The versatility he has saves a team a roster spot. This is a safety who can play corner and also contribute on special teams." -- Daniel Jeremiah


COMBINE STATS

• 40 YARD DASH: 4.49 SEC
• BENCH PRESS: 15 REPS
• VERTICAL JUMP: 35.5 INCH
• BROAD JUMP: 118.0 INCH
• 3 CONE DRILL: 7.26 SEC
• 20 YARD SHUTTLE: 4.19 SEC

ANALYSIS
Strengths
Lean, athletic build. Fluid and sudden with terrific balance. Outstanding speed -- carries receivers vertically and flies around the field. Sudden plant and drive. Can elevate to contend in the air and make athletic interceptions. Does not hesitate to support the run. Scheme versatile. Sharp mentally. Three-year starter. Rose to the occasion against better competition and produced big against Nebraska.

Weaknesses
Has very small hands. Gets lax with his technique. Inconsistent, subpar tackler as a safety. Average ball production. Performance is up and down -- tapered off as the season wound down.

Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5

Bottom Line
Fast, rangy, tough, loquacious defensive back who was pushed to play safety to fill a need in his senior season, and offers intriguing versatility on the back end. Projects ideally as a cornerback in the pros, where his explosiveness and physicality will appeal to a wide range of teams. Should contribute readily on special teams and has eventual starter potential.

So basically he's a starter at CB or S.

Probably not a coincidence McClay would drop this one on the league now after coming to an agreement to stick around.

Just as much as Hostile liked kickers.

 

[foofighters]

Oh great, a safety who can't tackle.

Yeah but he's loquacious. We lack that.

McClay threatened to take Huff with him to Houston unless Jerry paid up.

Jerry backed up the Brinks truck into McClays garage.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

He looks fat.

 

[northerncowboynation]

PS guy with KD Cannon, Rico and a few others. Hey, I read Showers was back too. No more Moore. Hey, I have real hope for the PS in 2018.

Me too. I recall when he was viewed as a potential savior around here.
