The Washington Redskins have selected Georgia running back Keith Marshall with the 242nd pick in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft. The Redskins had a need at running back and Keith Marshall gives them the fastest running back in the draft.
The Redskins return Matt Jones who impressed as a rookie and also Chris Thompson who had a good year as the third down back. However, Alfred Morris left in free agency to the Dallas Cowboys. So there was an opening to fill in the offensive backfield.
Keith Marshall brings great speed to the table.
