Redskins grab combine star Keith Marshall

The Washington Redskins have selected running back Keith Marshall out of Georgia in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 242nd overall.

Marshall turned heads at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, showing off his blazing speed with a 4.31-second 40-yard dash.

Should that athletic ability translate to the professional level, Marshall could be poised for a complementary role alongside the power-running style of 2015 third-round pick Matt Jones.
