Former Auburn QB Nick Marshall makes incredible diving interception in CFL game

Nick Marshall is at it again in the CFL.

Marshall, of course, played quarterback at Auburn, helping lead the Tigers to an SEC championship and a BCS National Championship Game appearance during the 2013 season. But while his NFL career never took off despite a switch to cornerback, he’s latched on with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL, where he’s found reasonable success over the past few years.

Earlier in the season, Marshall recorded a pick-6 for the Roughriders against the BC Lions on Aug. 7. On Friday night, with the Roughriders hosting the Toronto Argonauts, he somehow ended up with a diving interception after a Saskatchewan defender broke up a pass to an Argos wide receiver and had the ball bounce off his shin. The ball never touched the ground and Marshall was somehow able to get his hands under it.
