TERRACE MARSHALL | LSU 6’2” 205 lbs. 6/9/2000 (Age 20)
Terrace Marshall was drafted by the Carolina Panthers, becoming the 10th wide receiver and 59th overall player taken in the 2021 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Terrace Marshall had 106 receptions for 1,594 yards and 23 TDs during his three seasons at LSU. Marshall broke out as a sophomore during LSU’s prolific 2019 season, recording 46 receptions for 671 yards and 13 TDs in twelve games. His breakout age of 19.2 ranks in the 86th percentile, which is especially impressive considering that Marshall played alongside Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.
As a junior, Marshall dominated the LSU passing attack, accounting for 46.5% of the team’s receiving yards and TDs. Marshall racked up 48 catches for 731 yards and 10 TDs in just seven games before opting out.
ATHLETIC TESTING
At LSU’s Pro Day, Terrace Marshall measured in at 6’2” and 205 lbs. He ran the forty-yard dash in 4.40 seconds, which equates to an 85th-percentile Speed Score. Marshall demonstrated incredible burst with a 39” vertical jump and 125” broad jump. He also managed 19 bench press reps, which is above average for the position.
DRAFT ANALYSIS
Terrace Marshall was expected to go in the late first or early second round, but instead, he fell all the way to the Panthers at 59th overall. This pick is an absolute steal for the Panthers, who need to do everything in their power to support newly-acquired quarterback Sam Darnold. I wish Marshall had gone to a team with a more established quarterback, like Green Bay or Kansas City, but this is not a bad landing spot by any means. With his height and physical play style, Marshall will be a great complement to D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson. And he should quickly become the team’s top red zone target.
FANTASY INSIGHTS
Despite being overshadowed by his college teammate Ja’Marr Chase, Terrace Marshall is an excellent prospect in his own right. He’s got prototypical size and impressive athleticism. He broke out at an early age and demonstrated his ability to dominate an offense. He did fall a little further than expected in the draft, but as a second round, he will be given every opportunity to succeed in the league. I believe Marshall is firmly entrenched as a top-five wide receiver in this class, perhaps even top three. He’s an excellent player to target at the backend of the first round or early second round in Superflex rookie drafts.
