Filed under: Broncos, NFL Draft, Denver, Arena FootballMarcus Nash was the Denver Broncos’ first-round draft pick out of Tennessee in 1998, and while Nash was productive in college, the Broncos quickly learned that his college quarterback, Peyton Manning, could make any receiver look good. Nash was a bust in the NFL.

But he has caught on in Arena Football, where 2008 was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.

Unfortunately, it will also apparently be his last. The Dallas Morning News reports that Nash, playing for the Dallas Desperados, underwent surgery this week to repair a broken neck suffered in last week’s playoff loss to New York. According to the paper, Desperados coach Will McClay said the injury could end Nash’s career.
Nash finished his NFL career with four catches. He was Arena Football’s offensive player of the year in 2004.
