Wide Receiver
No. 89
Cameron State
"Marshall was signed as a free agent by the Giants halfway through the 1976 season when injuries depleted the wide receiver ranks. He started two games [playing in six] and totaled eight receptions for 188 yards, an average of 20.8 per catch. He had a 19-yard touchdown reception against Seattle, then caught a pair of touchdown passes in a 24-10 win over Detroit, a club which had cut Marshall in the preseason.
He was a No. 11 draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals in 1971, played in 13 games there and had two pass catches for 18 yards. His next stop was Memphis in the World Football League where he sizzled in the 1974 season with 60 receptions for 1,159 yards and 19 touchdown catches, then came back in the WFL's 10-game 1975 season with 31 more catches for 582 yards and nine touchdowns.
Marshall began his collegiate career at Ranger Junior College, then earned two letters at Cameron State [Lawton, OK] where he was the leading receiver and scorer for both of his seasons there.
Edward L. Marshall was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and was a football and a track standout at Miller High School in his hometown."
