Marcus Yarns

Saints signed Delaware RB Marcus Yarns.

Yarns (5’11/193) played in all phases on offense for the better part of three seasons and closed his time at FCS’s Delaware with 844 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, plus 17 receptions for 297 yards and five touchdowns through the air. Yarns only saw multiple carries against one FBS school during his five years of college ball. He gashed Penn State for 86 yards, 66 of which came on a breakaway touchdown, on just six attempts in 2023. Yarns never hit 150 carries in a season and his slight frame won’t lend itself to workhorse duties in the NFL. His receiving production was also good, but far from elite. He will likely start his career as a special teamer before working his way into a third-down role in the pros.
