Carolina nabbed Marshall Jr. with the 59th overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft. The talented 6-foot-2, 200-pound Louisiana State University product, however, failed to reach his potential during his three seasons with the Panthers—amassing just 64 receptions for 767 yards and one touchdown over 36 games.
Marshall Jr. seemed to be getting closer to that potential this offseason, standing out as one of the team's top performers of the summer.
"Fantastic. Consistent," Canales said of Marshall Jr.'s performance last week. "Every day there's a big play Terrace Marshall is a part of. Screaming across the field, a vertical outside—just different ways that he's really shown us the ability, and really the growth that he's had over the last couple of years."
That, however, was not enough for Canales and company.
