When Brandon Marshall has it going, he is close to unstoppable.

While Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham Jr., and Julio Jones are regularly praised as being the top wide receivers in the NFL, Marshall is often left off the list among the NFL elite wide receivers. The 11-year pro has the size, speed, and hands to pose matchup problems for defensive backs. Although he is north of 30 years old, he continues to be a headache for defensive coordinators.

Whether if it’s running a short to intermediate route or taking the top off of a defense, there is no task too high for Marshall. In an afternoon clash against Pro Bowl cornerback, Richard Sherman, Marshall hauled in a spectacular touchdown that only proves his dominance.

On the play, Marshall exhibited the dexterity of a ballerina and soft hands as he was able to get both feet in bounds against arguably the best cornerback in the NFL.

After being held to three receptions and 27 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3, Marshall is well on his way to a 100-yard game against the Seattle Seahawks. NFL wide receivers often have trouble against the Legion of Boom, but that can’t be said for No. 15.

Highlights like the one above are one of many reasons why Marshall very may well don a gold jacket in Canton someday.
