Why bother, he's got nothing to prove, he'll probably sit out the lion share of the combine too. He can only hurt his stock at this point.

Smart decision on his part, I was just hoping to watch some more Marcus . I enjoy watching the practices and such.

He deserves to take a break. Why line the pockets of the Senior Bowl backers and have to constantly do interviews, blah, blah, blah. It is a waste of his time. Nothing but running around and kissing ass. Time for him to focus on HIMSELF.

Pretty sure he is not resting. He is working his ass off to prepare for the combine and workouts.

He really has no need to go to the Senior Bowl.

Speak for yourself. I live about 15 minutes away from Ladd-Peebles stadium. Would have been the closest I ever came to seeing him haha

If you have to cram for the Wonderlic test, you're already in trouble...

I actually took the test at one time... Got a 37 on my first try.

How anyone couldn't guess their way to a decent score is hard to see.

He's one of ten underclassmen that declared with a degree, which made him eligible.

True, but you didn't have the pressure of knowing it could cost you millions if you missed guessed on questions. Half the test is smarts, the other half is how you do under those pressures.

I definitely know he's not resting. I said take a break.........not from training, just from the media BS.

He's in Hawaii this weekend to accept his Polynesian Player of the Year award and be at the opening of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame.
