Marvin will be recognized for his NCAA-leading tackles during the game on Saturday !

Did Marvin get to work out at the NFL combines?

Nope.

it is invite only and he is physically too short to play NFL ball. He has the nose for it though as shown by his stats.

My money is on him making a team. There have been guys his size make it. He needs to catch on on special teams and then make his mark. Someone will give him a shot.

Yeah, like London Fletcher for the skins.

Does anyone think he may be better suited for the CFL type of game? I still believe Hackney was, but he tried it too late.

That is s a damn shame. How tall was Sam Mills? (God rest his soul)...

Sam Mills and the Crunch Bunch. USFL.

Mike Singletary was only an inch taller.

2:00 tip off on saturday

If Henigan and Bender got a shot, Marvin most certainly will. And I'm sure, knowing him, that he will make the most of it. What the most of it is, I don't know. Fact is, there's lots of great players from college that don't make it in the NFL and there's lots of great players in the NFL that weren't drafted.

This really goes back the whole 2star, 5star debate.

I know he'll try his best and that's all anyone can do.

He will get a shot. There are many stories of undersized guys making it.
