Marshall in the NFL: Regular Season Wrap Up

Chris Massey, LS, St. Louis Rams

After sitting out the majority of last season due to a knee injury Massey had a successful 2010 in St. Louis. Every snap Massey made this season found its target. Massey inked a contact extension in St. Louis before the season.

Chris Crocker, S, Cincinnati Bengals

Started at safety for the Bengals until a knee injury placed him on injured reserve week 11. Over 11 games Crocker registered 43 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 5 passes defended. Crocker has stated his knee injury, torn PCL/MCL, will not require surgery. Crocker is under contract in Cincinnati for next season.

Randy Moss, WR, Tennessee Titans

Moss started the season in New England but was trade to Minnesota after week 4. After four weeks with the Vikings Moss was released and joined Tennessee where he finished the season. Moss’s total stats on three teams, 15 games, 28 receptions, 393 yards, and 5 touchdowns account for his least productive season in 13 years. The veteran wide receiver will be a free agent.

Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, New York Giants

Won the Giants starting half back job out of camp and held that position for 10 weeks. New York has recently split carries between Bradshaw and veteran Brandon Jacobs but it has not prevented the former Marshall star from a break out season. For the year Bradshaw had 276 rushing attempts for 1,235 yards and 8 touchdowns. Through the air Bradshaw accounted for 314 yards on 47 receptions. Bradshaw’s biggest negative this season was fumbles (lost 6). He will be a free agent for the 1st time this offseason.

Doug Legursky, OL, Pittsburgh Steelers

In his third season with Pittsburgh Legursky made the 53 man roster out of training camp for the first time. During the season he started a couple of games at guard and saw spot duty along the interior offensive line. Legursky has also served as fullback in Pittsburgh’s goal line package. Not to sure on his contract status, either has one year left or will be a free agent.

Byron Leftwich, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed to compete with Dennis Dixon for Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback job while Ben Roethlisberger served an early season suspension. Dixon won the job and Leftwich did not see the field until week 17 in mop-up duty. For the year Leftwich completed 5 passes for 42 yards. He will be a free agent this offseason.

C.J Spillman, S, San Francisco 49ers

Started the season in San Diego but was released after week 4 because of poor special teams play. Was immediately signed by San Francisco before week 5 and contributed on special teams with occasional spot duty at safety. In ten games on the game day roster of both clubs Spillman registered 19 tackles. Will be a free agent.

Chad Pennington, QB, Miami Dolphins

After a shoulder injury ended his 2009 season Pennington finally got a chance to start for Miami in week 10. Unfortunately, Pennington only attempted two passes as he re-injured his shoulder and spent the rest of 2010 on injured reserve. Stats, 1 completion on 2 attempts for 19 yards. Pennington has said he is “50-50” on retirement, will be a free agent.

Daniel Baldridge,, OL, Jacksonville Jaguars

Started the year on Jacksonville’s practice squad but was promoted to the 53 man roster for week 14. Spent the next four weeks on the Jaguars game day inactive list. Not to sure about his contract status, should be with the Jaguars heading into OTA’s and training camp.

Albert McClellan, LB, Baltimore Ravens

Spent all of 2010 on the Ravens practice squad. Would not be surprised if he inked a futures contract in Baltimore soon.

Cody Slate, TE, Kansas City Chiefs

After being cut in training camp Kansas City signed Slate to their practice squad before this weeks playoff game. Would not be surprised if he inked a futures contract in Kansas City soon.
