Marques Ogden (born November 15, 1980) is a former American football offensive tackle and center. He was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft.[1] He had stints with the Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans. He is the brother of Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden.[2]
Education and early career[edit]
Ogden graduated from Howard University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, with an emphasis on construction and cost accounting.[3] While at Howard, he played for the NCAA Division I football team. In 2005, he participated in a program through the University of Southern California on project development and construction developed specifically for NFL players hoping to prepare for their careers after football.[4]
After retirement[edit]
After retiring from the NFL, Ogden formed a company called Kayden Premier Enterprises Inc., an earth-moving company based out of Baltimore, Maryland.[5] After going out of business in 2012, he received financial aid from the Gene Upshaw Players Assistance Trust Fund.[6] He has since become a public speaker and has been involved with the National Youth Football Organization in a coach-like role.[7]
While developing his business from 2013 to 2016, Marques took on various roles including speaking at small events and working as a birthday clown and a private football coach. Eventually, Marques landed his first formal speaking event when he spoke at Miller-Motte College in Wilmington, North Carolina, for their 100th commencement ceremony.[8]
