Jets' Marshall: Some think race played role in Deflategate

Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall thinks that players that wanted Tom Brady's suspension to be upheld are "cowards" and that some NFL players believe the Deflategate discipline may have been influenced by race.

Marshall, appearing on his weekly spot on Showtime's "Inside the NFL," said players he has spoken to have had three different reactions to DeflateGate.

"No. 1 is the fighter. I think there's guys that's in the fight with Tom," Marshall said. "When one player's rights are upheld, then all players' rights are upheld. It's not about what he did if he's right or wrong.
