Brandon Marshall Wants to Mentor His Teammates

December 31, 1969 12:00 AM

" Brandon Marshall has been in the NFL for six seasons. He's been on good teams and bad teams, and has had more off-the-field incidents than most players will in a full career. He learned he had borderline personality disorder and has used therapy to be a happier, healthier man. What do all these trials and tribulations mean? He can teach his younger teammates from experience.

Marshall intends to not just be a leader in his first season in Chicago, but a mentor to his teammates.

“I guess it’s in me in a way,” said Marshall to the Bears team website. “It took seven years to harness it and put it in a positive direction, and I’m excited about it. This is the first year that I actually felt pressure as far as, ‘I’ve got to work because there are some young guys and I’m getting older,’ but also I’m recognizing how important it is to bring those guys along. This is a first for me, but I’m embracing the opportunity.”  "
