The 6'0", 200 lbs. Marion played all 16 games with the Lions during 2004. He had 88 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 5 pass breakups. The Nevada-Reno product has also played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1993 to 1997 and the Miami Dolphins from 1998 to 2003. He has registered 951 tackles, 31 INTs, 52 passes deflected, 7 forced fumbles, and 7 fumble recoveries in 182 games.
