Ali Marpet proved last year that the jump from division III football to the NFL wasn't too big for him and that he was ready for the stage. Marpet may have been the best man mover on that line last year and that is not a discredit to anyone else on the line. You could see it early on in the process during training camp last year has he often frustrated Gerald McCoy on many occasions. This year Marpet looks to only improve on his rookie season based on his Instagram photo.
Marpet fits the mold of an old school mauler that loves to push guys around and another year of progress will benefit the bucs and especially the running game. Marpet and the O-line look to be the most strong position group on the bucs and they will look to only grow on that this year.
How did this guy not play D1 football? That boggles me.
