Saints: Terrace Marshall Jr. the ideal threat opposite Michael Thomas

Scouting report on Terrace Marshall Jr.

Hands (8.5/10)

Over the middle of the field in traffic, Marshall Jr. has drop issues as he anticipates contact. He does show a great ability to adjust his body, reeling in passes behind and outside of his frame. Using his length well, Marshall shows the uncanny ability to reel in passes at the tip of his outstretched arms. His catch radius is wide and flexible, reaching from the tip of a blade of grass to well over his head. With soft, strong hands, Marshall can make one-handed catches when it is required of him.

Route running (16.25/20)

He is a bit stiff coming in and out of breaks. On out-breaking routes, Marshall struggles to put his foot in the ground for a clean, sharp break. He works the scramble drill at a high level, making his way back to the quarterback.  He shows more suddenness in his routes in short-area quickness than in intermediate to deep passes, an area where he struggles to sink his hips. Stemming routes vertically and inside subtly is where he thrives. His route tree is unlimited, playing both outsides and in the slot.
