Former Ohio State receiver and return man, Jalin Marshall, has had a busy 2022 as today he signed with his second professional team in a second professional football league. Marshall will be joining his former quarterback J.T. Barrett up north in the Canadian Football League with the Edmonton Elks.
Marshall has taken this opportunity over playing for the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League, which he signed with just three weeks earlier on January 19th.
Unlike Barrett, Marshall already had some CFL experience as he has been with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats since the 2019 season, where he appeared in eight games and accounted for eight receptions for 139 yards. Big things were expected from Marshall in 2020 as the leading receiver for Hamilton left to the NFL and Marshall seemingly understood the nuances of the game. However, COVID-19 forced the league to cancel its season.
