WR Jalin Marshall (Edmonton Elks)

Good for Jalin. I thought he made a HUGE mistake coming out, and going undrafted seemed to validate that opinion, but maybe he can carve out a nice career for himself.
At first I thought it was mistake, until I read an article that stated that he didn't enjoy being in school. And it made sense for him personally to leave and pursue his dreams. Everyone isn't built for college, and sometimes they know they HAVE to go to college in order to get to the next level, and being at college is a mere formality. It'd be selfish of me to want him to come back to OSU, because he "needed to develop more", he can do that on an NFL roster. I would've really hated that he made the decision to come back, and done something stupid off of the field to jeopardize his playing career

Notes/Quotes: Going Back Home to Ohio

WR/KR Jalin Marshall Has 'Good Feeling' About Playing in Front of Friends & Family Sunday vs. Browns

Every NFL game is a homecoming for someone. When the Jets travel to Cleveland for Sunday's game against the Browns, Nick Mangold, Brian Winters and Darron Lee (although Lee is out for the game with an ankle injury) will return to their home state, and Buster Skrine played his first four seasons with the Browns.

For rookie wideout/returner Jalin Marshall, the relationship is more complex. Being from Middletown, near Cincinnati, and having played two years at Ohio State, he has a Buckeye state of mind.

"It's a good feeling, to be able to go home and for my family to be able to drive and see the game," said Marshall, who's lined up about a dozen tickets for family and friends. "You always want to share your accomplishments with the people that helped you get to where you're at."
