Looking for a band-aid to place on their hemorrhaging secondary, the Jets have plucked cornerback Nick Marshall off of the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. Marshall played cornerback at Georgia in 2011 before moving to quarterback at Auburn where he threw 34 touchdowns to 13 interceptions while completing 60.2% of his passes in 2 seasons. Marshall appeared in 13 games for the Jags last season, starting just one contest. According to Pro-Football reference, Marshall tallied 6 tackles and 1 pass defended.
Perhaps more importantly at this stage, is that Marshall has experience as a kick returner, something the Jets are without after cutting ties with wide receiver Jeremy Ross yesterday in favor of fellow receiver, Jeremy Butler.
