A former Marshall University standout quarterback is being considered for a head coaching position in the National Football League. Byron Leftwich, who led the Thundering Herd to two Mid-American Conference Championships in the early 2000s, interviewed with the New England Patriots, according to a social media post from the team. The 2002 Heisman candidate was inducted into the Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007. Leftwich was drafted into the NFL seventh overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2003, marking Marshall’s highest pick.
