Could Byron Marshall be 'Chris Thompson-lite?'

With Chris Thompson still rehabbing his broken leg, there’s room for a running back to emerge as the Redskins’ reliable pass-catching back.

Following Thompson’s injury, Kapri Bibbs did a decent job of filling that role after he was promoted off the practice squad in December.

It will be interesting to see if Bibbs can continue to make an impact in a crowded running back room.

Byron Marshall, however, appeared to catch Gruden’s eye last week at OTAs. Marshall hardly saw the field last year — appearing in four games before breaking his hand on a kick return in practice.
