On and off the field, it’s all business for TaQuon Marshall.

In his first season as a starter, Marshall began well – 53 percent completion rate, 8.9 yards per attempt, five touchdowns and no interceptions in 51 attempts in his first six games. The final five games, against largely stronger competition, was a different story – 25 percent completion rate, 7.2 yards per attempt, five touchdowns and five interceptions in 65 attempts.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself to try to be too perfect,” Marshall tells Klein. “Even though the season wasn’t what we wanted it to be, I felt that there was a lot learned from it.”
