Marviel Underwood
Marviel Underwood is a former American football safety. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at San Diego State.
Underwood was also a member of the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and California Redwoods.
Marviel was selected in the 4th round (115th pick overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. In July 2005, he agreed to a four-year contract with the Packers. Backing up his fellow rookie-teammate Nick Collins, Underwood appeared in all 16 regular-season games during the 2005 season. Misfortune hit Underwood when he tore two ligaments in his right knee in a preseason game against the San Diego Chargers. He missed the 2006 NFL season after being placed on injured reserve. On August 20, 2007 the Packers released Underwood.
After spending over two months as a free agent, Underwood was re-signed by the Packers on November 25 when defensive tackle Colin Cole was placed on injured reserve. Although Underwood wore No. 25 during his first two seasons in Green Bay, the number was taken by running back Ryan Grant after Underwood's release. Upon his re-signing, Underwood was assigned No. 43. The following week, Underwood was released again when quarterback Craig Nall was re-signed due to an injury to Brett Favre.
