Denver Broncos: Brandon Marshall

Brandon Marshall was really good and no one ever talks about it. Seriously, it was shocking to see how good he actually was. Maybe that is the biggest problem is that when we think of Marshall, we remember that he had some big games, but his numbers are actually eye-popping.

He didn’t have a big rookie year in 2006, but from 2007-08, he went on an absolute tear. He caught 102 passes in 2007 for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns, yet for some reason, he wasn’t named a Pro Bowler. That changed in 2008 when he had his best season in Denver. He caught 104 passes for 1,265 yards and six touchdowns.

Marshall made his second Pro Bowl in 2009 with his third straight 100 reception season. He had 101 catches for just over 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns. Among his highlights in Denver was hauling in 21 passes in a single game. 2009 would be his final season with the Broncos, as he went to Miami in 2010. He reunited with his former Broncos teammate Jay Cutler in Chicago in 2012, where he was an All-Pro selection in his first season with the Bears.
