He also served as a game analyst for ESPN’s Arena Football League telecasts in 2008.

Basically he’s no rookie, but did he make a rookie mistake while on air?

Marcellus while, arguing his point, appeared to throw up a gang sign and declare he’s from the Westside.

Wiley was born in Compton, that’s a fact.

In a previous profile of the former NFL player on the Undefeated, his‘shoot first, ask questions later’ mentality nearly cost him everything.

“I ask people all the time: Have you ever shot a gun?” he said before biting into his sandwich. “Have you ever seen the flame, the kick, the destruction it does to a person? Have you ever seen it hit flesh? When you go through those steps, I don’t see how anybody in sound mind would want to be a participant in that existence. I’ve seen so many people killed by it, people killed others by it. It has to stop.”

No one doubts Marcellus is the real deal, but that ain’t the move.
