If you leave tailgating hungry and thirsty, you're doing it wrong
I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
Should have been drafted? Really? So, no non-P5 players were drafted? All 32 teams passed on him every round by an NFL that finds talent at every level. Hey, I'm glad to see him playing and hope it leads to him sticking on a 53 man roster next season. The Jets are 2-10 and will have a new coach next season. They are just playing out the season right now and there will be plenty of personnel moves in the off-season. One of their major areas of concern will be the defensive backfield because that is seen as one of their major weaknesses. It's very possible that he shows them enough this season to keep him around next year. As a starter would be a long shot but stranger things have happened.
Some of you are offended way to easily. Why don't some of you realize that Gruden wan no talking about NDSU specifically. When he said he "came from nowhere" he wasn't saying that NDSU was nowhere. He was referring to the path that Marcus took to get to where he was. There are not a lot of undrafted free agents that get picked up, then dropped during the season from a practice squad, only to get picked up by a team and then end up in the starting lineup a couple weeks later. If that isn't "coming from nowhere" in terms of player's paths in the NFL, I don't know what is.

So, scouts never miss? Is that your point? Ever hear do Johnny Randle? (heck, even more rounds, then) How about Kurt Warner? Priest Holmes? Heck, how about Adam Vinateri? Rod Smith? Antionio Gates? Dick Lane?
So, I guess none of the above should have been drafted because the "NFL that finds talent at every level." Has it occurred to you that he just might be really good? And that he was getting non-P5 bias? Note every one of those player was from non P5 schools.
CB is a difficult position to get drafted from an FCS school; I would be interested to know how many actually pull it off. You are always going to be knocked about not going against the best competition. Does anyone ACTUALLY believe that had nothing to do with going undrafted? Not to mention he was nicked up all last year affecting his numbers. He was a man among boys in FCS so it is not surprising to me at all that he is playing solid right now. I would be surprised if he is not at least a nickel corner next year.

I don't think it's a big deal and I agree they care about if a guy can play play or not.
Doesn't change the fact that Marcus was an undrafted guy from an FCS school who got cut, joined a practice squad and then got a shot at starting. He came out of nowhere. Nothing remotely offensive about that... Then again, with some people on here, if the media isn't choking on NDSU's dick, people's feelings get hurt.
