It wasn't a lack of evidence that saw Tom Brady's four-game suspension lifted in a federal court, at least not according to Brandon Marshall.

The Jets WR appeared on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" on Tuesday and revealed many players in the NFL believe race played a role.
"There are a lot of players out there that believe that white players -- specifically at the quarterback position -- are treated differently," Marshall said, per ESPN.

"I think that there are three different types of players' views in this thing. No. 1 is the fighter. I think there are guys in the fight with Tom. When one player's rights are upheld, then all players' rights are upheld. It's not about what he did, if he's right or wrong. It's more about the process. Is it fair?
"The second is cowards. I call them cowards. That's the guys that are afraid to face Tom Brady. They want him suspended; I don't believe in that."
The third was "the race card."
Entering his 10th season, Marshall has featured in locker rooms across the NFL. The Jets are his fourth team, with the Broncos, Dolphins and Bears serving as previous employers. Networking with former teammates and colleagues, he made it abundantly clear his comments were beyond an opinion.
"This is not just from our locker room, this is from locker rooms across the States," Marshall said. "This is how guys are feeling; this is not just my opinion. These are conversations I'm having with guys."
In fairness to Marshall, he added that he's talked to white players who share the same opinion. Fingers crossed at least one of them was Riley Cooper.
