Undrafted out of Tulane, Nico Marley impressed the Redskins during a rookie minicamp tryout and is now trying to do the same in an attempt to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.
At 5-foot-8, Nico Marley is the height of your average slot receiver. And at 200 pounds, he’s the same weight as cornerback Josh Norman.
But the Washington Redskins rookie is one of eight inside linebackers on the team’s 90-man roster.
Marley has mostly been working with the third-team defensive unit during practice sessions at the On Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Va.
