🏈Bob Marley’s Grandson, Nico Marley, Heads to the NFL May 17, 2017 Nico Marley, the grandson of Reggae legend Bob Marley, will be heading to the NFL, as a player of the Washington Redskins. Nico, the former linebacker at Tulane University, was offered a college free agent deal by Redskins scouts after they were impressed by his performance at last week’s rookie minicamp. The 5-foot-8, 195-pound Nico Marley was viewed as a tweener prospect that possibly could play safety in the NFL. However, he spent rookie minicamp at inside linebacker for the Redskins. In Saturday’s practice, he recorded a forced fumble and an interception. His senior season at Tulane, Marley recorded 86 tackles and an interception. 🏈🇯🇲🏈#wadhingtondc #washingtonredskinsfootball #nationscapital #ireggaenation #nfl🏈
