Day-one target: Terrace Marshall Jr., LSU

With Justin Jefferson being a star rookie for the Minnesota Vikings and Ja’Marr Chase potentially being the first wide receiver selected in the 2021 NFL Draft it’s not uncommon for Terrace Marshall Jr to be overlooked when discussing the 2019 LSU Tigers. While those other guys are great, so is Terrace Marshall Jr. in his own right and he is on track to be a WR1 at the NFL level.

Marshall left LSU after a very successful career both as an individual and as a team. Marshall played sparingly as a freshman but went on to be a major contributor to both 2019 and 2020 teams. In his last three seasons in the Bayou Marshall totaled 106 catches for 1.594 yards and 23 touchdowns. Marshall didn’t rack up crazy catch totals or yards but the knack for finding the end zone is as enticing as ever with Marshall. A majority of these stats came in just 19 games between his 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Marshall plays with great size at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds and has the skillset and ability to become a WR1 for an NFL franchise. Marshall can torch a defense from both the slot and the outside so he provides versatility. In the open field, Marshall is fast, hard to tackle, and physical which makes him a threat to take it to the house on any play. Marshall comes to the league with a good route tree and seems to be improving with each season so the upside is high.

Landing Terrace Marshall Jr to play opposite of AJ Brown could become one of the best WR duos in the entire league and would cause defensive coordinators to lose sleep over game-planning how to stop this offense.
