Marquis Juniel Bundy (born August 5, 1994) is an American football wide receiver who is currently a free agent. He played college football at New Mexico and was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2016.

College career

Bundy attended the University of New Mexico from 2012 to 2015. During his four-year career at New Mexico, he caught a total of 31 passes and two touchdowns. He had his breakout year during his sophomore season in 2013, catching 19 passes and two touchdowns.[1]

Professional career

With no eligibility remaining, Bundy entered the 2016 NFL Draft, but was projected to go undrafted due to having minimal results in college. Although he was the starting receiver at New Mexico, he was limited to only 31 catches in his career, due to the Lobos utilizing a run-heavy based offensive scheme. Bundy was not invited to combine, but did perform very well at New Mexico's Pro Day. With his physical attributes and his workouts, he began to receive attention as a possible seventh round selection or undrafted free agent prospect. The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals showed the most interest in Bundy after his pro day workout.[2]

On August 18, 2017, Bundy was waived by the Cardinals.[9]

On September 1, 2018, Bundy was waived by the Giants.[14]
