Marquez Beason

Long, lean athlete who looks and plays a tad larger than his listed size (5-10, 177). A bit narrow in build and could be limited from a frame standpoint. Possesses terrific athleticism that helps compensate for lean, wiry build. Excellent top-end speed verified in a testing environment at 4.46 in the 40. Legitimate four-star-caliber prospect whether at receiver or in the secondary. Could immediately contribute in the right situation, particularly on special teams. Dynamic return man potential. Impressive combination of burst and long speed. Regular home run-hitting ability on offense with the ceiling of a consistently stingy cover corner on defense. Will need to get stronger. Adequate lateral athleticism but can improve side-to-side suddenness and fluidity. Needs to curtail number of balls that get into his body on receptions. Will need to refine receiver skills after playing multiple roles in high school. Long-term NFL Draft potential.
