Marco Antonio Martos (born December 14, 1973)[1] is a Mexican former wide receiver and kickoff returner in American football, who played eight seasons in the NFL Europe League for the Barcelona Dragons and Cologne Centurions.
Martos is the second all-time, all-purpose yards gainer in NFL Europe history. He also played in preseason games for the Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers of the National Football League.[2]
Martos began his football career at the Universidad de las Américas, Puebla, only a few miles from Mexico City. He spent five seasons (1992–96) with the Aztecas UDLAP as a starting wide receiver. In 1995, Martos led the team to their first-ever ONEFA national championship, and its first national title overall since 1949.[3] [4] The following year, he completed his college career with another ONEFA championship.[3]
Martos served as the head coach of the college football team Leones Anáhuac Cancún in Cancún, Mexico from 2005 to 2018.[3] He cited personal issues as the reason for his departure, wanting to spend more time with his four children.[5]
