Marshall at NFL Training Camp

With NFL training camps opening up across the league I have produced a list of former Marshall players in camp.

Daniel Baldridge Jacksonville Jaguars OT

Baldridge was signed as a undrafted free agent in April by Jacksonville. The Jaguars did not draft any offensive lineman in 2010 but did sign two others as undrafted free agents.

Ahmad Bradshaw New York Giants RB

Bradshaw enters his third season with the Giants. As New York’s back up running back in 09-10 Bradshaw rushed for 778 yards and 7 touchdowns. Bradshaw had surgery on his ankle and foot this offseason.

Chris Crocker Cincinnati Bengals S

With Cincinnati last season Crocker started at safety and registered 51 tackles and 2 interceptions.

Byron Leftwich Pittsburgh Steelers QB

Byron was trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Pittsburg this offseason. Leftwich is scheduled to start for Pittsburgh while Ben Roethlisberger serves a six game suspension.

Doug Legursky Pittsburgh Steelers C/OG

As a backup last season Legursky participated in 8 games. This offseason Pittsburgh spent its first round draft pick on center Maurkice Pouncey and a 5th round draft pick on tackle Chris Scott. As a former undrafted free agent Legursky will be fighting to keep his roster sport in training camp.

Chris Massey St. Louis Rams LS

Missed the majority of last season with a knee injury but that did not prevent St. Louis from signing Massey to a four year four million dollar contract this offseason. Massey is the only long snapper in St. Louis’s training camp.

Albert McClellan Baltimore Ravens DE/LB

McClellan was signed as a undrafted free agent in April by Baltimore. He will be competing with a number of other prospects for a outside linebacker role in the Ravens 3 – 4 defense.

Randy Moss New England Patriots WR

Last season Moss recorded 83 receptions for 1,264 yards and 13 touchdowns. Moss enters New England’s training camp as the Patriots top wide receiver.

Chad Pennington Miami Dolphins QB

Pennington injured his shoulder during week 3 of last season and was sidelined the rest of the year. He returned to the Dolphins on a one year contract this offseason and should backup Chad Henne if healthy.

Cody Slate Kansas City Chiefs TE/WR

After recovering from a knee injury Slate signed a undrafted free agent contract with Kansas City in June. Last years top receiving tight end for Kansas City was Leonard Pope with 174 yards. The Chiefs spent a third round draft choice on tight end Tony Moeaki and added T.C Drake as another undrafted free agent.

C.J. Spillman San Diego Chargers S

Made the Chargers as a undrafted free agent last off season. Participated in 5 games and registered 13 tackles. San Diego drafted safety Darrell Stuckey with a fourth round pick. Spillman will have to make a impact on special teams and continue to grow as a safety if he wants to keep his roster spot.
