2019 NFL Draft: USC cornerback Iman Marshall visited Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly used one of their pre-draft visits to spend time with cornerback Iman Marshall from the University of Southern California.

The Kansas City Chiefs are just one of several teams who have recently spent significant time investigating the pro potential of cornerback Iman Marshall. The University of Southern California product reportedly visited Arrowhead Stadium in recent days along with a host of other NFL franchises, per Mike Garafolo.

According to Garafolo, Marshall is currently hanging out with former Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and the Cleveland Browns organization on Tuesday and has previously visited the Oakland Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, L.A. Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, and Chicago Bears.

Marshall, who weighed in at the NFL Combine in February at 6’1, 207 pounds, is a senior defensive back who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds. Marshall is a four-year starter at corner for the Trojans and he put up nice numbers against major competition in the Pac-12, including 36 total passes defended (good for 2nd all time in the conference) and 6 interceptions in his career.

Injuries limited him during his final two seasons at USC, and let’s be honest about the miserable state of the rest of the team these last couple years.

Per scouting reports, Marshall might be best served with a switch to safety at the pro level, something that both Kyle Crabbs at The Draft Network and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com note in their assessments.

For the Chiefs, Marshall could offer a versatile defensive back who could be an asset as a nickel corner and box safety where his athletic limitations could be clouded and his instincts in a small space featured. The Chiefs could use competition on the depth chart in the secondary, and his strong tackling skills will come in handy on a team that all too often allowed a big gain to break free in 2018.
