There's good news about the upcoming NFL Draft pertaining to Marshall.
Tight end Cody Slate is well ahead of schedule as he rehabilitates a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is getting interest from a few NFL teams.
That might be because Slate made a very wise choice of agents. He is being co-represented by Bus Cook and Tim DiPiero. Cook, a native West Virginian, is well known as Brett Favre's agent. DiPiero, a Huntington native and Charleston lawyer, is Randy Moss' agent.
At any rate, between Slate's rapid rehab and high-profile agents, there is talk of making him a late-round draft choice rather than allowing him to become a free agent.
Then, there's Albert McClellan. The defensive end turned in a very productive performance at the recent NFL Combine workouts in Indianapolis.
McClellan, who was measured at 6-foot-1, 247 pounds and is being projected as a hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, turned in a solid 4.7-second time in the 40-yard dash.
But McClellan was more than solid in two other events. He placed fourth among all defensive linemen in the 20-yard shuttle run with a time of 4.21 seconds. And he was eighth in the vertical leap with a jump of 36.5 inches.
It appears McClellan will be selected in the NFL Draft.
