Marc Zeno
Marc Zeno (born May 21, 1965, in New Orleans) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for the Tulane Green Wave.
College
[edit]Zeno attended Tulane University from 1984 to 1987, where he played wide receiver and broke the National Collegiate Athletic Association career receiving record with 3,725 yards. He was a 1985 Second Team All-South independent, 1986 First Team all-South Independent and named to the 1987 All-American team.
Pro career
[edit]In 1988, Zeno was selected in the seventh round (182nd overall) of the 1988 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[1] Zeno's draft valued dropped from its original expectation because his poor performance at the National Football league combined with off-season knee injuries. He ran a 4.8 40-yard dash. Zeno responded to his performance by saying "I'm capable of running a 4.6 in the 40, but I'm not capable of running a 4.3 or 4.4, and they should know that. I'm a football player, not a track star."[2] In 1989, he was a member of the Green Bay Packers training camp but was released on July 27, 1989.[3] Later he signed with the Calgary Stampeders. In 1990, he was a member of the British Columbia Lions.[4] In 1991, he was the 80th wide receiver drafted in the WLAF Draft by the Raleigh–Durham Skyhawks. In 1991, he played for the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League.[5]
