The Facts:
Marshall, who keeps finding his name in negative news reports, insisted Thursday he's really a good guy who just needs to grow up. "Being truthful, it is time for me to grow up on and off the field," Marshall said Thursday. "I'm not just a guy that's on the team, I'm a starter and have a lot of responsibility on this team. We have goals that we're trying to reach, and I play a big role in that."

In his impromptu meeting with reporters on Thursday, Marshall made light of Denver Post columnist Woody Paige, who called him immature, but he agreed that he needs to act his age. It was Marshall's first extensive public comments since his latest misstep, a freak accident that landed him in the operating room for surgery on his right arm and called into question his maturity level again. "It's time for me to grow up," he added. "From here on out, it's Brandon Marshall, clean-cut guy. ..." Marshall said he has no doubts he'll be healthy in time for training camp and that he'll have another outstanding season in 2008. "This is just a minor setback," he said.
