Auburn's stud quarterback is willing to be known as a stud anything if it means making it to the NFL.

Despite throwing for 3,664 yards and 28 touchdowns (and counting) in his two seasons as a Tiger, Nick Marshall isn't extremely picky about what position he plays if and when he gets to the show, AL.com's Brandon Marcello reports.

The only thing standing in his way is his low completion percentage: 59.4 in 2013 and 59.5 so far this season.

"It's just something I have to think about," Marshall said. "As of right now, I'm open to play anything, but I'm looking to play quarterback."

Before he was a quarterback at Auburn, Marshall's early collegiate career was molded around a different position.

When he enrolled at Georgia in 2011, he went with the intention of playing cornerback. He played a few games, before ultimately getting kicked off the team for a violation of team rules. 

Then next year he reemerged at Garden City Community College in Kansas as a quarterback, after which he enrolled at Auburn.
