Didn't see every play in his teams 22-19 win but I did see him run the ball once for 3 yards and Milroe threw a pass to him but the throw was errant

Pretty cool ending. American team wins on a walk off TD caught by Jack Bech, whose brother was killed in the New Orleans attack a few weeks ago. Bech also finished as the MVP of the game.

Marcus didn’t get much chance. He ran for about 8 yd on a 1st and 15 and got another run for no gain when his line was stuffed. He was targeted once with an errant pass. The O unit he played with was overmatched by the other side. Announcers did declare Marcus as the fastest man on the field and did call out the “Delaware Blue Hens” - with a little alacrity. On to the NFL combine - injury free.

B+ rating. Very cool! (AlthoughI don’t know what kind of cred the author has.)

Also, I saw another review that praised his pass-catching skills, but said that at 180 lbs, he’s kind of “light in the pants” as a RB.
Apparently, whoever wrote that didn’t see the official measurements from the Senior Bowl, which listed him as 189.

I have no doubt that he could eventually make it to 195, which would be pretty good as long as he doesn’t lose any of his speed. He’s amazingly strong for his weight. The Combine will be very important for him.

Thanks, Big R…appreciate that you’ve put all of the Yarns info together in these posts.
All I want for Christmas is a 2025 Bowl game for our Hens.
