Good story from the Texans Analyst that highlights Marcus.

I don't think there is any question that the Texans were a good team for MWill to land at given their lack of depth at CB. But, I still think his making the team will largely depend on how well he learns to cover receivers while running backwards. He was never asked to do that in college but he will have to learn quickly how to effectively back petal to make the team. I think he is athletic enough to do that, but he has to do it fast.
Hopefully Marcus can make the team. IMO, he has a huge hill to climb in the NFL. His 40 time is very mediocre and his tackling is average at best. If he could hit like Brian Shepard, he would have been drafted.
