Mark M. Malone (born November 22, 1958 in El Cajon, California) is a former American football quarterback in the NFL.
Malone was the nation's most recruited quarterback in 1975 out of El Cajon Valley High School near San Diego, California. He was also recruited by the USOC, as a possible decathlete for the 1980 olympics.
He was a three-year starter at Arizona State University. Malone was named the 1980 Senior Bowl MVP and was chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 28th pick in the 1980 NFL draft.
He played eight seasons (1980-1987) with the Steelers becoming the fourth ranked quarterback in franchise history with 8,582 yd. He was traded on April 12, 1988 to the San Diego Chargers for his final complete NFL season, he would play one game in 1989 with the New York Jets. For his career Malone passed for 10,175 yards (839-1,648) with 60 TDs, and rushed 159 times for 628 yards and 18 TDs. Malone also had one career reception for a 90 yd TD, a Steelers team record. Malone's career was plagued with several severe injuries; he was never able to fulfill his full potential.
After his playing career ended, he became a television sportscaster. After stops at WPXI in Pittsburgh and ESPN, he became the sports director at WBBM-TV in Chicago in 2004.
Malone has been married for 18 years to his wife, Tracy Malone, a professional dancer, fashion model and tv news anchor.
