Wilber Marshall was a phenomenal athlete," Dixon said. "He was one of those guys who was very gifted physically. He had a tenacious attitude in terms of if he had a goal, he was going to reach it. He was very determined. ... He was a first-round NFL draft choice by Chicago, helping the Bears win Super Bowl XX, and was an All-Pro in 1986-87 and 1992. Marshall played 10 years in the NFL. Marshall has lingering health problems: arthritis in his neck and back, both shoulders, and tendinitis in both knees and both shoulders. He expects to one day need artificial knees, hips and shoulders. ... He is only the fourth non-senior in Gators history to win first team All-American honors (1982) and went on to become a two-time consensus All-American and Lombardi Trophy finalist.
