INDIANAPOLIS — Nick Marshall’s athletic ability never had been in doubt, but he backed up his talents with some positive results in tests at the NFL Combine on Saturday.

The former Auburn quarterback ran a 4.54-second 40-yard dash, second best among quarterbacks to only Marcus Mariota's 4.52, and eighth best by a quarterback since 2006.

Marshall also had a quarterback-best 37.5-inch vertical jump and 124-inch broad jump, second best at the position.

With his position still in question, Marshall threw at the Combine but also performed cornerback drills on the side.
