Marqui Christian Draft Profile – NFL.com

Bottom Line

While Christian might be somewhat limited to box safety duties, he's got the toughness and instincts for the position and has the ability to handle box responsibilities on an NFL level. His angular frame looks like it can handle even more muscle and he has the attention of teams who are looking for a player with his skill *set. Christian has a good shot of hearing his name called on day three and of making an NFL team as a backup safety with kick coverage ability right out of the gate.

lol CBS says he is 6-1 NFL says 5'10

 

[Chopper0080]

sounds like a special teams guy

 

[b8rtm8nn]

sub 4.5 40 box safety, does sound like ST player

 

[GuernseyCard]

Cliff Harris winner as top small school DB

 

[BigRedRage]

small school defensive player of the year last year.

Leave it to SK to draft the first DII player. I'm surprised the Saints beat Keim to the DT from University of Manitoba.

There's a highlight vid on youtube, the QBs he's picking off look awful but he obviously has good athletic ability and hits like a ton of bricks.

Should be in competition with Swearinger to be the #2 SS behind Tony Jefferson. Not a big fan of the pick but will be interested to see how they fit him in.

This Sporting News article said he looked a lot like Honey Badger, just at the FCS level. Of course, it was also in the context of predicting he would be picked as Mr. Irrelevant.

 

[juza76]

i dont discuss the players chosen
i just said this is not adding lenght

Marqui Christian was on my sleeper list...was hearing some buzz about him (Dane Brugler on the radio was touting him big-time, and the Cardinals, Rams and Jets worked him out) the past couple of weeks, so I watched some of the tapes and was impressed. He's a quick reacting safety who runs the alley on a dime and delivers big-time hits. Check this tackle:

This is so very Keim.

 

[anks106]

a physical box safety whose limitations seem to be playing center field type coverage.. anyone think his role may be the backup for Buccanon as the dollar backer?
