Brandon Marshall

And so they put me up on the active roster.

I just played special teams.

And at the end, it was funny because towards the end of the game, we was playing the Oakland Raiders.

and we was blowing them out, the head coach was walking down the sideline looking for young guys who could play, and then he stopped and looked at me, and he was like, coach, can he play?

And my linebacker coach, first of all, my linebacker coach was sitting there dumbfounded, unsure, damn near shaking his head, no, I was like, yeah, I could play, I could play.

And I was like, come on, coach, show me some love.

But he wasn't sure.

I was like, yeah, I can play.

Went in there and made a couple tackles.

You know what I'm saying?

And then that was my tryout because the coach said, hey, this is your tryout to see if we're going to play you during the playoffs.

Because back then it was only 17 weeks, right?

Now it's 18.

Yeah.

So I was like, okay, I gotta do well this week to know if I'm gonna be up for the playoffs.

Up meaning on the active roster or up meaning on the 46th dress game day.

Because 46 people dress and then the other seven people or whatever are just in street clothes.

And I did well enough, man.

And I played in the playoff games, played in the Super Bowl.

We got blew out by the Seahawks.
