Western Michigan DL Marshawn Kneeland wants teams to know he can make plays at NFL Combine

Marshawn Kneeland

INDIANAPOLIS — Last season was a career year for Western Michigan defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland.

Kneeland posted a career-high 57 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2023. He earned a spot on the Second Team All-Mid-American Conference after wrapping up a fourth season with the Broncos.

Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 275 pounds, Kneeland has the frame to be a versatile lineman. Perhaps NFL teams could look to move him around and play him at multiple positions, something he wants to demonstrate at the NFL Combine.

“I got blessed this year that I was able to play like our ‘money’ position basically,” Kneeland told the media on Wednesday afternoon. “I was the stand-up. I wasn’t a safety, but I was like a linebacker.”
