Looks like Randy Moss 2.0
Funny you say that. That is exactly the first thing that went through my mind. I wasn't going to mention it because I generally don't like these types of comparisons as they are usually unfounded and unfair to the player being compared. That being said there are some things in Marshall's highlight that most definitely remind me of Moss. My question is what type of speed does Marshall posses? It's obvious that he is fast enough and that football speed is not an issue. Just curious if Marshall posseses the type of elite speed that Moss had. Anyone have a 40 time for Marshall? Whatever his 40 time is at this point it is very plain for all to see that Marshall is an elite WR prospect.
Moss was a lot taller and much faster. This dude might have things he does as well as or better than Moss, but Moss might be the best deep threat in the history of football. He was basically uncoverable for a few years in the NFL.
Moss was Gatorade Player of the year in WVA basketball and Nike All American too, kid was another level athletically. He credits a p/u game with Kevin Garnett for whooping his *** and convincing him to focus on football full time. Jason "White Chocolate Williams" was on his HS team.

Here's an interest excerpt
Moss's dream was to play for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish,[10] but he also considered going to Ohio State, where his half-brother, Eric, had played offensive tackle. Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz said "Randy Moss was the best high school football player I've ever seen."[11] Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden said "He was as good as Deion Sanders. Deion's my measuring stick for athletic ability, and this kid was just a bigger Deion."[12]
After originally signing a letter of intent to play college football with Notre Dame in 1995, Moss took part in a racially charged fight at his high school that left one person hospitalized.[13] On March 23, 1995, Moss had backed a friend in a hallway fight against a white student who had allegedly used racist comments towards Randy's friend.[12] Moss was initially charged with a felony for kicking the student, but it was later reduced to a misdemeanor. On August 1, 1995, Moss pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to 30 days behind bars at the South Central Regional Jail in Charleston, West Virginia. He served 3 days in jail starting that night and would be required to serve the remaining 27 days within the following 18 months, after he completed his freshman year in college.[14] Moss was expelled from DuPont and completed his education at Cabell Alternative School.[13]
Notre Dame subsequently denied his enrollment application, but this did not stop another high-profile college football program from giving him a chance. Notre Dame officials suggested he attend Florida State due to the reputation of its coach, Bobby Bowden, for handling troubled players.[15]
