In 2023, CJ Marable took on an even larger role with the team. Scarbrough got injured in week one, which meant that Marable would take more reps.
He finished the 2023 USFL season with 524 rushing yards, and three touchdowns. Additionally, he posted 1,079 All-Purpose yards, which was the second most in the league.
