Marrow's combined numbers were tops among defensive lineman. He recorded a 39" vertical leap, a 10'11" broad jump and a 4.7 second clocking in the 40 yard sprint. He also earned a standing ovation from scouts after bench pressing 35 repetitions of 225 pounds. The second best defensive lineman was Leon Bender of Washington State, who did 27 repetitions. In addition to physical tests and doctor's examinations, Marrow underwent a series of aptitude tests. The Wonderlik test is the most well known of these cognitive skills tests. Jim Ulrich, a New Jersey sports agent who Marrow signed with in December, believes Marrow could slip into the first round on draft day. Respected draft analyst Mel Kiper has moved marrow up to 50th on his list of top NFL prospects. Various NFL teams have expressed interest in picking Marrow, many of whom attended Penn football games throughout the season. Ulrich listed Green Bay, Tampa Bay and Philadelphia as teams who have shown a keen interest in Marrow.
