Catch per dollar, no team got more value than the Broncos got this season from receiver Brandon Marshall.
In prorated signing bonus and salary, Marshall made a modest $465,000 in 2007. He finished with 102 catches — or $4,559 per catch. Compare that to, say, Kevin Curtis of the Philadelphia Eagles. He had a nice season with 77 catches in his first year after free agency, but the Eagles paid him $6 million — or $77,922 per catch.
Vizio television came up with a way to honor Marshall. The flat-screen television company came up with a promotional gimmick that will honor the NFL’s top value performer.
Marshall was one of six finalists selected by the Vizio committee, made up of former general managers Tom Donahoe, Ernie Accorsi and Ron Wolf. The other finalists: Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard, Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson, Green Bay receiver Greg Jennings, Chicago returner Devin Hester and New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs.
