ecision to trade for quarterback Joe Flacco. None were more surprised than quarterback Case Keenum.Via the Youth Tony Jefferson Jersey , Keenum explained on podcast that he was shocked by the news.“[G.M. John] Elway called me that morning and we had a great conversation, which he didn’t have to do — I appreciated that,” Keenum said on the podcast, with his wife next to him. “It was definitely a shock. It was a surprise for us. . . . For us, we’re definitely disappointed. It’s not something we wanted to happen. I know everybody is doing their job and John feels like it was a chance to help the Broncos out.”It means that Keenum will be out of Denver, but it’s still not clear where he’s going to go.“It’s really open-ended right now,” Keenum said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen. This is still very fresh. A lot of these emotions we’re talking about are still going on and still happening. Who knows what’s going to be in store? I don’t, for sure.”However it plays out, Keenum will make at least $7 million this year. Which means that, if Keenum is released, a new team could sign Keenum for at or near the six-figure league minimum Stitched Willie Snead Jersey , putting the Broncos on the hook for the rest.That dynamic makes a trade even less likely, unless the trade includes the Broncos eating the amount that the new team would save by signing Keenum for the minimum.It’s still not clear who will want Keenum. He has shown flashed of high-level ability in stints with the Texans, Rams, and Vikings, taking the 2017 Minnesota team to the final four.However it plays out, it’s a stunning decline for Keenum, who signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the Broncos last year as a free agent.

Ravens CBs typically are long, good tacklers and grabby. Marshall was a four-year starter for the USC Trojans, being tested against the likes of John Ross Youth Willie Snead Jersey , J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, N’Keal Harry, Miles Boykin, Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, Chris Godwinand Calvin Ridley, to name a few. Iman has been penalized frequently for defensive holding and pass interference, but so was Marlon Humphrey at Alabama. In college, surrendering 15 yards is far better than getting beat over the top. Marshall is extremely physical and has good speed to recover. He ran a 4.53 in Indianapolis, and that shows up on tape. He often elects to break up passes as opposed to trying to intercept the ball, which is the signature of a press-man corner. This is why the Ravens corners typically don’t net more than three interceptions. Marshall is suffocating in coverage Stitched Robert Griffin Jersey , which leads to penalties, but doesn’t lead to receptions. Lets take a look at his tape— Iman Marshall uses the sideline as an extra defender, using his strength and technique to force receivers out of bounds on their routes. He has an alpha-dog mentality when the route goes vertical, wanting to physically beat his opponent down. He tackles well, wraps up and lays the hit-stick frequently. Marshall was a free safety in high-school and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him as a match-up FS in a few years. If the Ravens part ways with Jimmy Smith and/or Brandon Carr next season, Marshall and Anthony Averett present solid alternatives for the Ravens secondary. This pick might be the best of the Ravens draft.Rookie Prediction:Iman Marshall beats out Maurice Canady, rounding out the Ravens secondary alongside Anthony Averett. He will be an immediate gunner on kick-off, punt coverage and punt return. His big hits on special teams will make him a fan favorite while he’s being groomed to become a starter beyond 2019.
