Falcons Hold Private Draft Workout with Buffalo WR Justin Marshall

Buffalo receiver Justin Marshall, who hails from just outside of Atlanta, performed a private workout for the Falcons ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Atlanta Falcons have been heavily involved in the receivers market throughout the 2023 NFL Draft process - and another name can be added to the list.

According to Pro Football Network, the Falcons held a private workout with Buffalo wideout Justin Marshall.

A native of Conyers, Ga., Marshall graduated from Newton High School and spent five seasons at the University of Louisville, including started 12 games in 2021.

This past season, the 6-2, 205-pound Marshall led Buffalo with 64 receptions for 837 yards and nine touchdowns while starting all 13 games.

At his pro day, Marshall ran a 4.48 40-yard dash and recorded a 38-inch vertical jump, 10'6" broad jump and 7.15-second three-cone.

Per PFN, Marshall currently projects as a late seventh-round pick but will be "quickly signed" should he go undrafted. Atlanta currently has a pair of selections in the draft's final round - Nos. 224 and 225 overall.

The Buffalo Bills have also shown interest in Marshall, as they held a private workout and hosted him for their local day.

Marshall, 23, has direct ties to the Falcons' coaching staff, as his offensive coordinator at Louisville in 2020 was Dwayne Ledford, who's now Atlanta's offensive line coach. Marshall played in 10 games with three starts during that season, hauling in seven passes for 87 yards.

Given his size, speed and local ties, it's no wonder Marshall's found himself on the Falcons' radar ... the only question now is whether he's on the practice fields in Flowery Branch come summer workouts.

The answer will be in soon enough, with the 2023 NFL Draft set to run from Apr. 27-29 in Kansas City, Mo.
