Marcus DeLando Nash (born February 1, 1976) is a retired American football wide receiver, formerly of the Dallas Desperados of the Arena Football League. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos 30th overall in the 1998 NFL Draft. He played college football at Tennessee.
Nash has also been a member of the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Fury and Las Vegas Gladiators.
Nash was drafted by the Broncos in the first round (30th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, he appeared in eight games and caught four passes for 76 yards. In 1999, Nash appeared in two games for the Broncos including one start, but recorded no statistics.
On September 21, 1999, Nash was traded to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for running back John Avery - another 1998 first-rounder. However, he was waived by the team just one week later.
Just over a month after his release from the Dolphins, Nash was signed by the Baltimore Ravens on October 25. He appeared in one game but did not catch any passes.
In 2003, Nash made the transition to the Arena Football League with the Detroit Fury. During his rookie season, he led the team in all receiving categories with 69 receptions for 866 yards and 24 touchdowns. On defense, he recorded 11 tackles, a fumble recovery, an interception and five pass breakups. He also returned two kickoffs for 19 yards. On February 14 against the Carolina Cobras, Nash earned team MVP honors with eight receptions for 86 yards and three touchdowns.
