Marc Christopher Munford (born February 14, 1965) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL).

Munford was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and attended Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado.[1] He played college football at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln,[2] where he was a three-time All-Big Eight Conference selection by the Associated Press. He earned second-team recognition as a sophomore,[3] and first-team as both a junior and senior.[4] [5] As a sophomore, he was also honored by Gannett News Service as a first-team All-American.[6]

Munford was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 1987 NFL draft,[7] and spent four years with the team. He started 16 of the 48 games in which he appeared, with two interceptions, one sack, and three fumble recoveries.[8] He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 1991 season, as a "Plan B" free-agent, but spent the year on the injured reserve list.[9]
