Six weeks ago, it didn't seem Brandon Marshall's world would be so good these days. The pressure was on the second-year receiver, who went through a rocky first two weeks of training camp.
There were whispers this kid with great talent might not be able to cut it. Would Marshall be ready for the season?
That was six weeks ago. The whispers have been replaced with loud proclamations. No. 15 is a player.
The first two games of the season have proved Marshall is ready to be a starting NFL receiver. With his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame, his run-after-the-catch ability and pure hands, Marshall is making defensive coordinators wonder how to stop him, and fantasy-league owners are scrambling to see if they can acquire him.
"I've always said he is a top-10 talent," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "He has that type of ability. He can be a star."
