With Matt Jones, the Redskins have a powerful running back. The addition of Keith Marshall gives them speed in the backfield, too, heading into the 2016 season.
If Keith Marshall’s career at Georgia hadn’t been mired with injuries, the Redskins probably wouldn’t have been able to wait until the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft to grab him.
This is usually the case for most college players that fall in the draft, though the Redskins seem to be particularly fortunate to have Marshall, who many believe could have been a second-round pick were it not for the knee injuries that allowed him to play in just eight games between 2013 and 2014.
