The Seattle Seahawks added a playmaker to their wide receiver corps this offseason, signing Brandon Marshall to the squad in May. A seasoned veteran, Marshall has played with his share of quarterbacks, and now has the chance to see if he gels with Russell Wilson.
Marshall was on the field Thursday for his first extended practice as a Seahawk after rehabbing from toe, ankle and hamstring injuries.
“Yeah, there’s some things that we got to clean up and there’s some things that we got to see,” Marshall explained. “There’s some mistakes that we’ve got to make and correct, but the good thing about Russ is he loves ball and he loves talking ball.”
Marshall and Wilson have a combined 18 seasons on the NFL football field, proven starters and tenacious competitors.
“So when you have guys that have played a lot of ball, seen a lot of ball, and have high football IQ, it’s easier to get on the same page than guys that really haven’t had that experience so I think that we’ll be alright,” Marshall said.
With Doug Baldwin sidelined from a knee injury, Marshall will get his fair share of looks from Wilson this preseason.
