Marcus Mason (born June 23, 1984 in Potomac, Maryland) is a retired American football running back. He was signed by the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He played college football at Youngstown State.
Mason has also been a member of the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets and San Diego Chargers.
Mason starred at Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he became the all-time leading rusher (5,700 yards) in Maryland high school history.
Mason played college football at the University of Illinois and Youngstown State University. In two seasons at Youngstown State, Mason compiled 2,739 rushing yards on 478 carries and scored 31 touchdowns. As a senior, he rushed for a school-record 1,847 yards on 302 carries and had 23 touchdowns.
In his first ever preseason game with the Redskins, Mason scored a one-yard rushing touchdown to give the Redskins a 7-6 lead over the Tennessee Titans. For the whole preseason, Mason compiled 95 yards on 25 carries. Mason eventually made the 53-man roster in 2007 but was moved to the practice squad shortly after to make room for Omar Stoutmire.
Despite leading the NFL in rushing during the 2008 preseason, Mason was released by the Redskins during final cuts on August 30.
A day after his release from the Redskins, Mason was signed to the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad on August 31, 2008. He remained there for the first eight weeks of the season.
