Despite his combination of size (he's 6-foot-4, 307 pounds) and speed (he can run the 40-yard-dash in under five seconds) and his impressive stats, most sports fans had not heard of Marpet until Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson, himself a former Division III standout, stepped in and helped get the word out about Marpet.

Also in this week’s running to be drafted is Pelham resident Sean Donnelly, a student at Tulane University. He is a 6-foot-8, 297-pound offensive tackle.
