Star receiver Marquay McDaniel has turned a successful CFL playing career into a successful CFL coaching career and now brings his talents to Saskatchewan.

McDaniel accepted his first coaching job as the receivers coach for the McMaster Marauders. He made his CFL coaching debut in 2019 with the Montreal Alouettes before returning to the Calgary Stampeders, with whom he spent seven seasons as a player (2011-17), to coach the receivers.

In 2021, the Stamps were one of three teams to have two players to finish in the league’s top 10 in receiving yards. Calgary also had the second-most passing yards (3,847) in the league that year. McDaniel has coached two West Division all-stars — Kamar Jorden and Malik Henry.

As a player, McDaniel suited up for 133 career regular-season games, spending time with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2009-11, 2018) and the Stampeders, notching 7,366 yards and 27 touchdowns. Twice a 1,000-yard receiver with Calgary, he was named a CFL All-Star in 2013. He won a Grey Cup with the Stampeders in 2014.
