Overview:

Marcus Easley is yet another story of a hard worker who gave it his all to make it. He was a walk-on and didn't get his chance until his senior year. He blew up though and came out of no where and had a very productive year. He got most of his yards on deep passes or quick screens to get him the ball in space. He still needs a lot of work on his route running as he too often stumbles and slows down a lot coming out of breaks. Despite his strong hands, he has a tendency to catch passes with his chest when he really doesn't have to. He has a lot of potential and with his work ethic can make an impact after a year or two in the NFL.
