Arthur Marshall, a former Giants receiver who tied an NFL record in 1992 with an 81-yard touchdown pass, died Wednesday, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

He was 57 years old.<\/p>\n

Marshall died after a battle with stomach cancer, according to Fox 54<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA former professional NFL athlete, Arthur carried strength and determination throughout his life,\u201d Marshall\u2019s obituary read<\/a>, \u201cbut those who knew him best will remember him most for the size of his heart. He was a giver by nature-generous with his time, love, encouragement, and support. He genuinely cared for people and found joy in helping others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall went undrafted after a collegiate career at Georgia and signed with the Broncos, finishing with 853 receiving yards and three touchdowns with Denver.<\/p>\n

As a rookie, he connected with Cedric Tillman on an 81-yard touchdown against Dallas, allowing him to tie an NFL record for the longest completed pass by a non-quarterback while giving the Broncos their only lead during a December 1992 game in an eventual loss to the Troy Aikman-led Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Then, after his years with the Broncos, Marshall spent the final three seasons of his career with the Giants after a trade, collecting 414 receiving yards and a touchdown between 1994-96.<\/p>\n

In addition to his role as a receiver, Marshall also returned kicks with Big Blue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he touched the field, you knew he was on the field,\u201d Daniel Dorsey, the current head coach at Marshall\u2019s alma mater, Hephzibah High School in Georgia, told Fox 54. \u201cHe made a difference, whether it was offense, defense or special teams. He was just a special player all around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall was inducted into the Hephzibah Hall of Fame in 2003, and Dorsey added to the outlet that Marshall\u2019s path from the school \u2014 and then to Georgia and ultimately the NFL \u2014 \u201cspeaks volumes to who he is and the mountains that you can climb if you just put your mind to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2009, Marshall was sentenced to 69 months in prison \u2014 along with five years of supervised release \u2014\u00a0 for alleged mortgage fraud following a 22-count indictment, and he was also ordered to pay $3.6 million to his victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arthur Marshall, a former Giants receiver who tied an NFL record in 1992 with an 81-yard touchdown pass,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,2683,11,10,22,322,319],"class_list":["post-339073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-nfl","tag-obituaries","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
