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.
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 named to the 1987 All-American team.
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]
