Marquay McDaniel (born April 20, 1984) is the receivers coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
He is a former professional Canadian football wide receiver who played for 10 seasons in the CFL, six with the Calgary Stampeders and four with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
In 2010 McDaniel started all 18 regular-season games for the Tiger-Cats and finished second on the club in receiving yards with 998.
2011 was a down year for McDaniel as he only saw action in one game, making four catches for 60 yards in a July 16 contest against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Shortly after being released by Hamilton on Aug. 31, he signed with the Stampeders and spent the remainder of the season on Calgary’s practice roster.
His major came on the second play of the West final as he made a 68-yard catch and run for his longest career touchdown.
In 2014 McDaniel started 12 games and was the team’s leading receiver for the second season in a row with 54 catches for 792 yards and four touchdowns.
He was named CFL offensive player of the week for his 12-catch, 165-yard comeback performance in the last game of the regular season.
In 2015 McDaniel started all 18 games and had 86 catches for 1,038 yards and four touchdowns, plus caught five two-point converts which is a CFL season-record.
Following the team's loss in the 105th Grey Cup McDaniel was critical of teammate Kamar Jorden's fumble which played a significant role in the Stamps' defeat.
