Marvin Austin was a natural at a recent photo shoot here at WRAL, part of his “Anchorman” campaign for the upcoming football season. “Anchorman was derived from myself and a couple of my teammates and stuff, cause everyone knows that I want to go into broadcasting, sportscasting after football,” said Austin, “And I feel like I’m the anchor of the defense so I think it fits well.” (WRAL Sports Fan)
