Brandon Marshall

There was a lot of drama surrounding the addition of one of the best receivers in the NFL over the last decade. Marshall was everything that the Dolphins needed for their young quarterback. He was fast, used his body size against defenders, and could fight for jump balls.

His attitude and selfishness was his big downside.

Marshall joined the Dolphins in 2010 and made an immediate impact on the field. He posted 1,114 yards his first season with the Dolphins but only scored three touchdowns. That would be a problem for Marshall who believed he should be targeted more often in the red zone. Something the Dolphins struggles with consistently.

In 2011, Marshall posted another 1,000-yard season with 1,214 yards and six touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl that year but his sideline antics and locker room issues were too much for the coaching staff and player continuity. The Dolphins traded Marshall that off-season on the eve of free agency.

He finished his two seasons with Miami posting 2,228-yard receiving and nine touchdowns.
