Marcus Crandall played quarterback for East Carolina University and finished as the school’s all-time leading passer, setting over 30 records for the Pirates.
In 1997, he joined the CFL playing for the Edmonton Eskimos.
He’d see extensive playing time in 1999, completing 59 of 112 passes for 767 yards and 5 TDs.
Later in 2000, Crandall played a year with the Scottish Claymores throwing for 754 yards and 4 TDs.
A member of XFL 2001, he’d play for the Memphis Maniax.
It’d be in 2002, Marcus returned to the CFL, signing with the Calgary Stampeders.
He’d have his best season as a pro, throwing for 4072 yards, and 26 TDs that year.
Crandell also ground up yardage rushing for 503 yards and 2 TDs on 80 carries.
Marcus played with the franchise through 2004, before heading out to Saskatchewan.
After seeing extensive playing time in 2005, he’d serve as a backup through 2008, retiring after the season.
He went into coaching working with the CFL for Saskatchewan, Edmonton, and Ottawa.
Then later he worked in the college football ranks, most recently at Livingstone College.
Alright, He signed it all in red, but that’s okay- I’ll take it! I was pretty pumped to get Marcus all in one shot on his four cards. Marcus is currently working in healthcare and specializes in helping people get low cost insurance.
