Marshall said last week in a radio interview that he was confident he would be "cleared of any wrongdoing." It's not the first off-field incident involving Marshall, which he said makes him even more of a target in public. "Not only am I an NFL player," he explained. "I'm an NFL player that has had trouble in the past. Whenever I step out the target on my back is pretty much bigger than 90 percent, 95 percent of the guys in the league because of who I am and what I've been through." Christin Myles, 24, accused Marshall of striking her at a New York City nightclub and wants him held criminally responsible. The Bears traded two third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins for Marshall on March 13. Marshall, who has five straight 1,000-yard seasons, reunites with Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and quarterback coach Jeremy Bates, who worked with Marshall when the trio was with the Denver Broncos. Since 2007, his first year as a regular starter, Marshall ranks second in the NFL in receptions with 474 and fifth in receiving yards with 5,938.
