Mark DeAndre' LeGree (born July 8, 1989) is an American football safety. He was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played collegiately with the Appalachian State University Mountaineers.

LeGree has also been a member of the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, and Buffalo Bills.

LeGree was born on St. Helena Island, South Carolina and played high school football at Pacelli High School in Columbus, Georgia, one of the smallest high schools in the state.

LeGree was a three-time All-American in NCAA Division I Football Championship (Division I-AA) at Appalachian State. He intercepted 10 passes in 2008 and 7 in 2009 and 5 in 2010. LeGree amassed many awards and became one of the most highly decorated players to come out of App. State. LeGree currently holds records for total career interceptions and most interceptions in a season. Despite LeGree's all-state status in high school, he was not highly recruited at the college level. LeGree's offer to play at Appalachian State came only after he sent the school a video tape of his high school play.

LeGree was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 25th pick in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The Seahawks were the only team to bring him in for a formal visit during the recruiting process. Due to the NFL labor dispute, LeGree attained a job working for a general contractor until the dispute was resolved.
