GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Rampage's leading receiver and kickoff return man will be joining a new team in a new league this season, as Timon Marshall (Kingston, Jamaica) signed on with the NFL's Chicago Bears. The Arena Football League's 2007 leader in all-purpose yards, kickoff return yards, and return touchdowns will take part in the Bears' minicamp beginning this week.

Marshall, who spent two seasons (2003-04) in the af2 with the Tulsa Talons and Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz before joining Grand Rapids, played three years (2005-07) with the Rampage, setting several records while proving himself as one of the team's most electric players of all time. In just 38 games, Marshall set a team record for career kickoff return yards (3,506), tied for first in Rampage history with eight kickoff returns for touchdowns, and was second behind only former receiver and current offensive coordinator Michael Baker for all-purpose yards in a Grand Rapids uniform (6,457).Marshall, who spent two seasons (2003-04) in the af2 with the Tulsa Talons and Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz before joining Grand Rapids, played three years (2005-07) with the Rampage, setting several records while proving himself as one of the team's most electric players of all time.
