I Hope someone gives him a shot.
Central Washington University had its pro day on Monday. Two scouts from the Colts and a scout and the GM for the Chargers attended along with scouts from 5 other teams. The Colts and Chargers sent two people each because apparently they are scouting receivers hard.
Point of the story is, they were scouting Jonny Spevak. He was Mike Reilly's (quarterback from Kalispell who is there all-time leading passer and currently plays for St. Louis) go to receiver, CWU's all-time leading receiver, pretty much our Marc Mariani, except Marc is better.
If those same scouts saw Marc work out and he could perform how he can, get his face out there, he could have a long, successful career. Marc made Roper look good! Peyton Manning? Psshhhhhhh.
Austin Collie had a productive season. He was projected as a 2nd round pick until he ran a 4.64 and dropped into the fourth round. My point? Marc is better than Spevak and more athletic than both Spevak and Collie. He won't be a fourth round pick, he probably won't be drafted at all. But if he can get on a roster of a stable franchise with a franchise quarterback, he could be a productive receiver. Not Collie (60 for 676 and 7 tds) productive as a rookie maybe, but he could have a decently long career. I hope he gets a shot as well.
