Bilal Marshall becoming a threat at WR for Boilermakers
In 2012, Bilal Marshall was one of nine quarterbacks on the roster in Danny Hope's final season.
Now the 6'2" player is comfortable at wide receiver and could be ready to make an impact for the team. Here is what Coach Hazell told the Indy Star about him:
"Sometimes, it takes those guys a little bit longer to figure it out," Hazell said. "He's worked hard it. It's been very important to him. He's not a top elite guy, but he's got enough skill to contribute quite a bit for us next season."
Marshall believes that his time at quarterback has helped him get comfortable during the spring that has seen him run with the number one team at times:
"I feel like I'm starting to put myself in a better situation because I'm starting to learn how to be a receiver, really starting to learn how to release off the line against press coverage, Marshall said. I know how to get open. I played quarterback and I know all the cover lanes and I can find the holes the quarterback wants me to be in. That's going to benefit me down the line."
Without star WR Danny Anthrop who is recovering from surgery, Marshall's improvement is just what the doctor ordered.
