Jason Marshall has played early as a pro

Heading into the Dolphins’ latest matchup, Jason Marshall has appeared in 10 games and has earned 1 start. As a rookie, Marshall has notched 15 tackles and deflected 2 passes. A hamstring injury caused him to miss four games this season.

In his final season at Florida, Marshall registered 20 tackles (13 solo), 1.5 tackles-for-loss, four pass breakups, three QB hurries, and one forced fumble in 2024 before his season-ending shoulder injury. Through the first month of this year, he was the nation’s highest graded cornerback in single coverage, per PFF.

In that 2024 season, Marshall injured his labrum during the homecoming game against Kentucky and required surgery. He started the first seven games of the 2024 season and was a four-year starter at UF. He finished with 98 tackles, 26 pass breakups, two interceptions, and a sack in his career.
