One of the most prolific wide receivers in history and standout television personality, Brandon Marshall co-hosted FIRST THINGS FIRST, FS1’s early morning show airing weekdays from 6:30 to 9:30 AM ET.
A force to be reckoned with on the gridiron, Marshall played collegiate ball at the University of Central Florida, before being drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2006. He went on to have an exemplary NFL career, notching over 900 receptions and over 12,000 career receiving yards in 13 seasons. Marshall earned six Pro Bowl appearances and was named the 2012 Pro Bowl MVP during his tenure with the Chicago Bears. In 2009, he set the NFL record for most receptions in a single game (21), and tied for most receiving touchdowns in the 2015 season (14).
In 2014, Marshall joined Showtime’s "Inside the NFL," serving as an on-air analyst. He provided a rare active-player perspective for the show, and will return for his seventh season on-air this fall. In 2016, Marshall was recognized for his exemplary on-air work with a Sports Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Sports Personality – Studio Analyst."
Marshall is also well known for his advocacy work and entrepreneurship, specifically supporting improved mental health awareness and resources. In 2014, Marshall and his wife, Michi, cofounded "Project 375," a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating the stigma surrounding mental illness and disorders. Marshall merged his passion for mental health and athletic pedigree to found "House of Athlete" in 2019, a lifestyle wellness brand focused on promoting sustainable fulfillment for athletes everywhere through five pillars: train, fuel, mental fitness, recover and tribe.
