DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall says he has a fallback plan if NFL teams lock out players next year: He’ll try out for the NBA.
Marshall said Thursday he would audition for the Miami Heat or Denver Nuggets as a shooting guard.
The 6-foot-4 Marshall lettered in basketball three times at Lake Howell High School in Winter Park, Fla.
Marshall was a Nuggets fan while playing for the Broncos. He said he would try to get a workout with them, and would also be interested in joining LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Heat.
Marshall said he has a vertical leap of 37 inches, which makes him an inviting target for quarterbacks. But he doesn’t expect to be playing football next year at this time because of a lockout.
